Didrik Solli-Tangen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you cry
You know it's too soon for goodbyes
But when the lights are all turned out
Again I have to leave you
Don't cry my lady
Nor will I
And when the moon has made its round
I know what I'm coming home to
Tomorrow
I'll be gone
Tomorrow
I'll take your heart away
And leave mine here with you
Forever
I will stay
Forever
I'll reach you through the distance
So I'll be next to you
Don't think it's over
Don't be scared
I feel your presence everywhere
And in the spring the bluebells sing
And love and life are dancing
Tomorrow
I'll be gone
Tomorrow
I'll take your heart away
And leave mine here with you
Forever
I will stay
Forever
I'll reach you through the distance
So I'll be next to you
Whisper in your ear
Something sweet
Feel the taste of tears
As I leave
And walk out through the cold
Winter night
In a little while
The sun will rise
And tomorrow
I'll be gone
Tomorrow
I'll take your heart away
And leave mine here with you
And forever
I will stay
Forever
I'll reach you through the distance
So I'll be next to you
Next to you

Don't cry my baby
Please don't shed tears, my dear child
Don't you cry
I implore you not to weep

You understand that it is premature to bid farewell
But when the lights are all turned out
However, when darkness fills the room
Again I have to leave you
Once more, I am compelled to depart from your side
Don't cry my lady
Do not let tears fall, my dear companion
Nor will I
And neither shall I

And as the moon completes its orbit
I know what I'm coming home to
I possess the knowledge of what awaits me upon returning

During the season of spring, the bluebells create melodious tunes
And love and life are dancing

Something sweet
Uttering something delightful
Feel the taste of tears
Sensing the flavor of tears
As I leave
While I depart
And walk out through the cold
And traverse the frigid
Winter night
Night of the winter season
In a little while
Before long
The sun will rise
The sun will ascend in the sky
And tomorrow
And in the forthcoming day
I'll be gone
I will have departed
Tomorrow
When the next day arrives
I'll take your heart away
I will capture your affections and carry them with me
And leave mine here with you
While leaving behind my own heart in your care
And forever
And for all time
I will stay
I will remain by your side
Forever
Eternally
I'll reach you through the distance
I will make my presence felt despite the separation
So I'll be next to you
So that I may be close to you
Next to you
By your side
