Far
Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holdt du i min hånd
Far, du må vite
At jeg nå ser
Du skilte rett fra galt
Vi så livets gang
Du gav oss det som var
Aldri skuffet du
Du gjorde meg sterk
Da jeg tok feil
Da jeg gikk feil
Vi kunne le og
Vi kunne sloss
Du forstod dog ennå
Min tillit til deg
Du er med meg
I alle mine ord
Enhver time
Av hver eneste dag
Alt jeg gjør
Er jeg en del av deg
Du gav ditt liv for oss
Det var ditt mål
Hender som aldri tok
De viste vei
Hender som aldri tar
Kan bare gi
Du satte ditt preg
På våre liv
Du er med meg
I alle mine ord
Enhver time
Av hver eneste dag
Alt jeg gjør
Er jeg en del av deg
Far, en ting du alltid har visst
Alt det du sa til meg var sant

Rørende å høre en gebrokken Adams synge fine ting om fedre. Det er gebrokkent men jaggu ikke så gæli. Bra jobba Adams! Veldig morsom ting

When you consider that he has no idea what he is singing it is pretty impressive.
@frankhansen2992
Uber some of the words he sings are perfect

Det er BARE Manowar som finner på slik galskap, og det er og blir kult
@C4rnal063
Dom gjorde denna låt på 15 olika språk. Även på Svenska. Den Norska versionen är dock bäst :)
@nottulfr27
Også sunget samme sang på mange andre språk, syntes det er godt gjort. :) H&K
