Sjelen Lyrics English Translation by Delara
Delara sings about finding peace in simplicity, as seen in the line, ‘I’ve got everything I need, I know.’ The lyrics mention a blue boat, a yacht in Nice, and a bus ride home, painting a picture of a life lived on her own terms. The vocalist’s voice carries a mix of warmth and certainty.
Fakk it hvis det koster meg min sjelScrew it if it costs me my soul.
Tar et dypt pust mens jeg ligger på en plenI take a deep breath while lying on a lawn.
Kjenner vinden gjennom håretFeeling the wind blowing through my hair.
Jeg har alt jeg trengerI’ve got everything I need.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
De vil snakke penger og profittThey want to talk about money and profit.
I en blå båt som jeg kjører kyst til kystIn a blue boat that I drive from coast to coast.
For den som ler best ler sistBecause he who laughs best, laughs last.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Det finnes en tid da jeg hadde en planThere was a time when I had a plan.
Hvor jeg skulle bade i et hav av kapitalWhere I was going to bathe in a sea of capital.
Men mye vil ha alt og jeg har alt jeg trengerBut greed wants it all, and I have all I need.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
De vil ha valuta for kredittThey want value for their credit.
I en stor yacht som er ankret opp i niceIn a big yacht anchored up in Nice.
Jeg har lært det er sjeldent det du ser er realitetI’ve learned that what you see is rarely reality.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Jeg vetI know.
Nå sitter jeg på siste bussen hjemNow I’m sitting on the last bus home.
Ler og lener hodet mitt på skulderen til en vennLaughing and leaning my head on a friend’s shoulder.
Snakker minner fra ikveld som vil aldre som god vinTalking about memories from tonight that will age like fine wine.
Ta vare kyss og klemTake care, hugs and kisses.
Så sees vi igjen om littSee you again in a bit.
Samme kranene som alltid står ved veienThe same cranes that always stand by the road.
Blinker pent som stjerner og jeg tar det som et tegnTwinkling nicely like stars, and I take it as a sign.
Jeg vet det ordner seg for meg ja det ordner seg for megI know things will work out for me; yes, they’ll work out for me.
Det ordner seg for megThings will work out for me.
Det går bra for megIt’s going well for me.
Har alt jeg vet føler min sjelI have everything, I know, I can feel my soul.
