Hånd i hånd Lyrics Translation – Tobias Sten
The songwriter describes a life on the road, filled with emptiness and longing. In one key line, he admits, ‘I’m completely over you,’ while the truth is, ‘You mean everything to me.’ The lyrics show a man watching his past love walk away, knowing he should have been the one holding her hand.
Eg Va Aldri Noko StilleI was never the quiet type
Eg Va Ikkje Noko LettI wasn’t easy to handle
Ganske Stygge Me PromilleI was pretty nasty when I was drunk
Eg Våkna Opp SvettI woke up sweating
Eg Turnera Med Eit TomromI’m touring with an emptiness inside
Heima Bra Men Borte BestHome is good, but the road is better
Skrive Songa På HotellromWriting songs in hotel rooms
Er No Eg Trenge Deg MestIt’s right now I need you the most
Bakom Døro Som E LåsteBehind the door that is locked
Når Bandet Går På BarWhen the band goes out to the bar
Sit Da Ein Gut Å Prøv Og Få TeA boy sits there trying to make it happen
Ein Karriere På GitarA career playing the guitar
Sjøl Om Dagane E SteinbraEven though the days are rock solid
Og Smilebåndet GårAnd the smiles are always there
Kjem Da Ein Kveld Å Seie IfraAn evening eventually comes to remind me
At Savnet StårThat the longing still remains
Men Når Eg Ser Deg Gå Hånd I HåndBut when I see you walking hand in hand
Med Han Som Før Va MegWith him who used to be me
Då Blir Da Vanskeleg Å Holda SegThen it becomes hard to keep it together
Når Eg Sku Holda DegWhen I should’ve been holding you
Eg Synge Song På SongI sing song after song
Og Lyge Te Meg Sjøl Kvar DagAnd lie to myself every single day
Og Påstar AtAnd claim that
Eg E Øve Alt Med DegI’m completely over you
Men Du E Øve Alt For MegBut you mean everything to me
Eg Håpa Berre Du Sku ForståI just hoped you would understand
At Denne Vegen Va Kje Lett Å GåThat this road wasn’t easy to walk
Og Eg Veit Eg Aldri Va DerAnd I know I was never there
Og Da Va Mitt ValgAnd that was my choice
Så Heilt Aleina I Ein LobbySo all alone in a lobby
Sit Da Ein Gutt Og Telle NerA boy sits counting down
Da Blei Større Enn Ein HobbyIt became bigger than just a hobby
Men Eg Sko Tatt Deg MedBut I should’ve taken you with me
Men Når Eg Ser Deg Gå Hånd I HåndBut when I see you walking hand in hand
Med Han Som Før Va MegWith him who used to be me
Då Blir Da Vanskeleg Og Holda SegThen it becomes hard to keep it together
Når Eg Sku Holda DegWhen I should’ve been holding you
Eg Synge Song På SongI sing song after song
Og Lyge Te Meg Sjøl Kvar DagAnd lie to myself every single day
Og Påstar AtAnd claim that
Eg E Øve Alt Med DegI’m completely over you
Men Du E Øve Alt For MegBut you mean everything to me
Bygd Og ByFrom town to city
Eg Går Land På StrandI travel up and down the coast
Ser På Skyene Som Skriv Ditt NavnWatching the clouds spell out your name
Bygd Og ByFrom town to city
Og Eg Blir Så KaldAnd I get so cold
Når Eg Ser Deg Gå Hånd I HåndWhen I see you walking hand in hand
Med Han Som Før Va MegWith him who used to be me
Klart Da Blir Vanskeleg Og Holda SegOf course it’s hard to keep it together
Når Eg Sku Holda DegWhen I should’ve been holding you
Eg Synge Song På SongI sing song after song
Og Lyge Te Meg Sjøl Kvar DagAnd lie to myself every single day
Og Påstar AtAnd claim that
Eg E Øve Alt Med DegI’m completely over you
Men Du E Øve Alt For MegBut you mean everything to me
