Elisabeth Andreassen - I Evighet - английский

ALL WE EVER HAD*

Once we've met, we walked along
And sang our love as a song.
Now time has come for us to part,
Though we knew it from the start.

We did things, so great and small,
We lived our love through them all.
Now with farewell you've gone to sleep,
And I've had to stay and weep.

Days may come, years may go,
Rock will succumb and trees will grow,
Children will rise not knowing that
Our love was all we had,
We ever had.

***

Here now I stand
Immortal to no end.
There's no more sun for me to rise,
And there's no more light in my eyes.

I'll go far, far away,
To Cerin Amroth lies my way,
There I shall rest with grief unclad.
Our love was all we had,
We ever had...

There is now no ship
That would bear me hence
And I must indeed
Abide the Doom of Men
Whether I will
Or I nill:
The loss
And the silence...(**)

Let the time rust the gold,
Let all the world turn grey and cold,
Someone will sing on my behalf,
"Our love is all we have,
We ever have!"

Someone will sing on my behalf,
"Our love is all we have,
We ever have!"
