Bror - Eva Weel Skram

Bror

Ka har skjedd?

Koffor står du der så bleik og liten og redd?

Bror

Sett deg ned

Fortell om du vil, viss ikkje får du vær' i fred

Eg trur eg veit ka det kosta deg

Å søke tilflukt her hos meg

Å, ber meg om litt tid

Men det kjem ei tid i alles liv

Der alt det gamle e forbi

Og kvar tanke man tenkas, om igjen

Og du står ved eit veiskille utan ein venn

Og du e like fjernt, og like langt frå alt

Som alt er ein gang

Så kom du hit

Bror

Ingen veit

Meir enn deg om frykt og håp og einsomheit

Bror

Sjå på meg

Det finns ingen enkle svar for ein som deg

Du har flakka om i ein annas namn

Tjore fast i ei lenka savn

Og gått

Frå sted til sted

Du har på deg ein lengsel i fjern og nær

Om at nåken vil sjå deg som den du e

Og for alltid er du kald

Og sagt du e den eg drømte om

Du e den eg håpa på, men alt du drømme ein gang

E ei havn for fred

Bror

Vær så snill

Bli her hos meg, bli her litt til

Brother

What happened?

Why are you standing there so pale and small and afraid?

Brother

Sit down

Tell if you want, if you don't you can't be left alone

I think I know it will cost you

To seek refuge here with me

Oh, asking me for some time

But there comes a time in everyone's life

Where all the old is gone

And every thought comes to mind, again

And you are at a crossroads without a friend

And you are just as distant, and just as far from everything

As everything is once

Then you came here

Brother

Nobody knows

More than you about fear and hope and loneliness

Brother

Look at me

There are no easy answers for someone like you

You have wandered about in someone else's name

Tethered in a chain missing

And gone

From place to place

You wear a longing far and wide

That the person will see you as you are

And forever you are cold

And said you are the one I dreamed of

You are the one I hoped for, but everything you dream of once

A haven for peace

Brother

Please

Stay here with me, stay here a little longer
