Hey people! 🙂
Today I’d like to introduce you to a Norwegian band, whose music I’m actually quite new to as well, and it could be described as a blend of jazz with the Nordic folk song genre called vise/visa. It consists of Selma French Bolstad, who is the group’s lyricist as well as the vocalist and fiddler, Martin Morland, who plays bass, Martin Sternberg, who plays piano, and Øystein Aarnes Vik who plays drums. I like this song for its cosy vibe, and lyrics which can be very relatable if you’re an overthinker or a ruminator. Below is my translation, although it probably leaves a lot to be desired, and there’s even one line that is missing because I had no idea what it was actually supposed to mean.
You said you were coming home
I’m here but you haven’t arrived But I hope it was nice things that they said […?]
You said you were coming home Maybe you have to help a friend Or maybe the tram isn’t moving again I’m here when you need a hug
And everything you think about It’s going to go well here now Don’t need to think this thought again I’ll take care of you when you get home
So can we say sorry? You said you were coming home So I think well to think well again Oh I’m trying not to get jealous
You said that she is just a friend And all I think about It’s going to go well here now No need to think this thought again
You’re going to take care of me when you get home So can we say sorry? Because you said you were coming home You said it after all , I say it again
When you get home you will get a hug And all you think about It’s going to go well here now No need to think this thought again
I’m going to take care of you when you get home And all you think about It’s going to go well, yes, this You can get rid of everything you think about
No need to think that thought now anymore So can we say sorry? Because you said you were coming home You said it after all, I say it again
When you get home you will get a hug So can we say sorry?
