Stille Vann - Siri Nilsen

Jeg måtte hit før jeg forsto at det var galt å dra fra land

Jeg skulle latt ham få seile selv i livsfarlig stillstand

For det som tar forstanden fra en voksen mann

Er ikke storm

Men stille vann

Det er ikke du

Som styrer bølgene

Det er de som eier deg

Men du må snu om du synker

Finn en annen vei

For det som tar forstanden fra en voksen mann

Er ikke storm

Men stille vann

Ta dine historier

Og fortell dem til en

Som tror det du sier

Og ta dine sko som du lar

Andre danse i

Og gå den lange veien hjem om det

Ennå er tid

For det som tar forstanden fra en voksen mann

Er ikke storm

Men stille vann

For jeg kan dekke over og jeg

Kan lappe sammen og jeg

Kan plukke biter fra alt som er knust

Men ingen kan redde en voksen mann

Som vil forsvinne i

Stille vann

I had to come here before I realized it was wrong to leave the country

I was to let him sail even in a life-threatening standstill

For that which takes the mind of a grown man

Is not storm

But still water

It's not you

Which controls the waves

They are the ones who own you

But you have to turn around if you sink

Find another way

For that which takes the mind of a grown man

Is not storm

But still water

Take your stories

And tell them to one

Who believes what you say

And take your shoes as you leave

Other dances in

And go the long way home about it

There is still time

For that which takes the mind of a grown man

Is not storm

But still water

Because I can cover and I

Can patch together and I.

Can pick pieces from anything that is crushed

But no one can save a grown man

Which will disappear in

Quiet water
