Swedish

Dunkla minnen/Värre än du anat

English translation

Dark memories/Worse than you sensed

Christine:

Christine:

Det var dimma, det var natt,

It was fog, it was night,

vita slöjor och en svart stilla sjö.

white veils and a black still lake.

Där fanns underliga ljus,

There were strange lights,

och där på sjön fanns det en båt.

and there on the lake there was a boat.

Och i båten fanns en man...

And in the boat there was a man ...

Vem tog mig med in i dunklet?

Who took me into the dark?

Vad finns det bakom hans mask?

What's behind his mask?

Fantomen:

Phantom:

Satan!

Satan!

Din lilla raska Pandora!

Your little fast Pandora!

Din lilla djävul,

Your little devil,

var det detta du ville se?

was this what you wanted to see?

Satan!

Satan!

Din lilla falska Delilah!

Your little fake Delilah!

Din lilla huggorm!

Your little viper!

Aldrig mera kan du bli fri!

Never more can you be free!

Satan!

Satan!

Varför?

Why?

Värre än du anat,

Worse than you sensed,

är den syn du har framför dig.

is the view you have in front of you.

Detta vidunder, som tillhör helvetet,

This wonder, which belongs to hell,

men som längtar efter frälsning.

but who long for salvation.

En dröm i hemlighet, hemlighet.

A dream in secret, secret.

Men Christine..

But Christine ..

Fasan kan bli kärlek,

The fear can become love,

om du finner människan bakom

if you find the person behind it

detta missfoster, jag är ett monster,

this freak, I'm a monster,

som sprider skräck, men längtar till skönhet.

which spreads fear, but longs for beauty.

I hemlighet, i hemlighet.

In secret, in secret.

Åh, Christine!

Oh, Christine!
