Skibet Skal Sejle I Nat - Hanne Boel, Lars H.U.G.

Aften i nymånens tegn.

To står i mørket på kajen.

Pige og mand.

En fra sø, en fra land.

Kys har fortalt,

hvad ord ikke kan.

Tavshed.

Til sidst siger han:

Farvel da min tøs.

Og hold dig nu kvik.

Jeg tilstår mit hjerte

gir ligesom et stik

imens jeg kysser dig nu.

Jeg elsker dig du.

Men skibet skal sejle i nat.

Vi mødtes i sjov.

Vi sværmede lidt.

Men det, der var letsind,

blev alvor med et,

og du blev alting for mig,

nu er der kun dig.

Men skibet skal sejle i nat.

Og intet på jorden er så svært,

som afsked med alt,

man har kært.

Men skæbnen er ens

i stort og i småt;

vi ved det, vi ved det så godt.

Aften i nymånens tegn.

To står i mørket på kajen.

Pige og mand.

En fra sø, — en fra land.

Alting er sagt.

Nu står de der kun.

Tavshed.

Til sidst siger hun:

Farvel da min ven.

Pas godt på dig selv.

Jeg synes du har været

all right og reel,

og jeg har været dig tro.

Mit liv blev os to.

Men skibet skal sejle i nat.

Den lykke vi tror er fast og solid,

den er kun på landlov på ubestemt tid,

for alt, vi ejer, skal bort.

Vi tror, det er vort.

Men skibet skal sejle i nat.

Evening in the sign of the new moon.

Two are standing in the dark on the quay.

Girl and man.

One from sea, one from land.

Kiss has told,

what words can not.

Silence.

Finally he says:

Goodbye then my slut.

And now stay nimble.

I confess my heart

gives like a plug

while I kiss you now.

I love you you.

But the ship is to sail tonight.

We met for fun.

We swarmed a little.

But what was frivolous,

became serious with a,

and you became everything to me,

now there is only you.

But the ship is to sail tonight.

And nothing on earth is so difficult,

as parting with everything,

one has loved.

But fate is the same

in large and in small;

we know it, we know it so well.

Evening in the sign of the new moon.

Two are standing in the dark on the quay.

Girl and man.

One from sea, - one from land.

Everything is said.

Now they just stand there.

Silence.

Finally she says:

Goodbye then my friend.

Take good care of yourself.

I think you have been

all right and real,

and I have been faithful to you.

My life became the two of us.

But the ship is to sail tonight.

The happiness we believe is firm and solid,

it is only on land leave indefinitely,

for everything we own must go away.

We think it's ours.

But the ship is to sail tonight.
