Gospel - Lars Vaular, Kamara

Av og til e det vanskelig

Å skille barndomsminner

Fra de historiene som har blitt fortalt om deg

Som barn, om igjen og om igjen

Til de blir bilder i hodet

Et sted eller en person eller et tre

Eg har for eksempel tre minner

Som har glidd sammen til ett fellesminne

Som handler om bursdagsselskapet til min bror

Tanter og kusiner e der

Og eg e seks-syv år

Og går tur med hunden til min tante

Som e samme rase som Lassie

Men heter Benji

Vi går opp en bratt grusbakke

Og hver gang eg tenker på den bakken

Tenker eg óg på en artikkel

Fra rampelyssiden i VG

Som handler om at O.J.

Simpson

I ett tilfelle skal ha tatt Nicole Simpson i skrittet

Og sagt høyt at «dette tilhører meg»

Og etter turen var eg aleine med hunden

Utenfor huset, og kanskje eg tråkket an på foten

Eller kanskje ikkje

Kanskje eg ikkje skulle gått med den røde shortsen

Kanskje hunden trodde at han var en okse

Kanskje Benji bare var et råttent eple i hundekurven

Hon beit meg i nakken og ristet meg

Som et skittent teppe

Før min bror kom og reddet meg

Og vi måtte til legevakten

Og få stivkrampesprøyte

Benji ble avlivet

Og eg har hatt survivors guilt helt siden

Helt siden den gangen

Siden lenge siden

Ye-he, du e fra Bergen nå

Men mor sier at du tilhører verden nå

Og du e ennå deg sjøl

Du drømmer utelukkende for de som tør

Du e fra Bergen no

Men mor sier at du tilhører verden no

Og du e ennå deg sjøl

Du drømmer utelukkende for de som tør

Yeah

Sometimes it's difficult

Separating childhood memories

From the stories that have been told about you

As a child, over and over again

Until they become images in the head

A place or a person or a tree

For example, I have three memories

Which has slipped together into one common memory

Which is about my brother's birthday party

Aunts and cousins ​​are there

And I'm six or seven years old

And walks with the dog to my aunt

Which is the same breed as Lassie

But his name is Benji

We go up a steep gravel hill

And every time I think of that hill

I'm also thinking of an article

From the spotlight side in VG

Which is about O.J.

Simpson

In one case, Nicole Simpson is said to have taken the plunge

And said out loud that "this belongs to me"

And after the trip I was alone with the dog

Outside the house, and maybe I stepped on my foot

Or maybe not

Maybe I should not wear the red shorts

Maybe the dog thought he was a bull

Maybe Benji was just a rotten apple in the dog basket

She bit my neck and shook me

Like a dirty carpet

Before my brother came and saved me

And we had to go to the emergency room

And get tetanus shot

Benji was killed

And I've had survivors' guilt ever since

Ever since then

A long time ago

Ye-he, you are from Bergen now

But mother says you belong to the world now

And you are still yourself

You dream only for those who dare

You are from Bergen no

But mother says you belong to the world no

And you are still yourself

You dream only for those who dare

Yeah
