”Innan vi faller” Jocke Berg och Lisa Nilsson i ny politisk duett

[jazzpurist]

A very quick translation based on the lyrics posted at kent.nu, surely it can be improved, but I think it's understandable for now:

We're moving close to the edge of the world
You're throwing a stone into the steaming water

Halfway there, but we're nowhere
We're lost again, just following the stream

We forgot everything we swore to remember
We remembered everything we should've forgot
If there's any point in hiding
it is that we can disappear into dreams about when

we had everything
Once upon a time all this was ours
Before we fall into each others arms
we'll fall into pieces

We put a tiny rose on her grave
and remembered how she said:
"The new Sweden is cruel and cheap and ugly"
But life is too short, too short to be wasted
Leave the hatred to the vultures

We threw away everything we should've saved
We repressed everything that we had learned
Oh, we hid everything we should've talked about
We forgot everything we should've remembered

We had everything
Once upon a time all this was ours
Before we fall into each others arms
we'll fall into pieces

We had everything
Once upon a time all this was ours
Before we fall into each others arms
we'll fall into pieces

We had everything
Once upon a time all this was ours
Before we fall into each others arms
we'll fall into pieces

Jättebra översättning! Jag skulle byta ut put mot laid (låter lite finare) och cheap mot petty som är kanske närmare till vad snålt betyder här, men nu är jag bara petig.

We laid a tiny rose on her grave
and remembered how she said:
"The new Sweden is cruel and petty and ugly"
But life is short, too short to be wasted
Leave the hatred to the vultures
