Stina Rebelius – “Luftslott” (Air Castles).

   Hiya people! 🙂 

   Let’s listen to something in Swedish this time. I thought I’d share with you this sad pop song today, from an artist who is quite new to me. Stina Rebelius, or Eva Kristin Elisabeth Rebelius, is a singer and songwriter who lives in Gothenburg. Below is my translation of her song. 

  We go home slowly and turn off all the lights
As if nothing had happened
I guess the longing will go away some day
As long as we decide not to meet again
It is something that is being destroyed
That got stuck in my body
It hurts and I want to leave
Yet I stay
Because I have waited for too long
I have killed my desire
It will be easier this way
Because I have built too many air castles
So hard to say goodbye
It will be easier this way
And thoughts of reason, is it the truth that is singeing?
See voices that are being played
Because what is the point of it all?
And suddenly all the colours are the wrong shade
It is something that is being destroyed
That got stuck in my body
It hurts and I want to leave
Yet I stay
Because I have waited for too long
I have killed my desire
It will be easier this way
Because I have built too many air castles
So hard to say goodbye
It will be easier this way
Sorry for all I’ve done
I have promised, I have believed
Too many spots on my body
Which can never be washed away
Because I have waited for too long
I have killed my desire
It will be easier this way
Because I have built too many air castles
So hard to say goodbye
It will be easier this way
