Dette er vi gode på
No. 4 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Så heldig jeg er
Som har deg her
Hver morgen
Er du der

Tenk så tilfeldig det var
Og hvilke følger det har
En annen kveld, en annen bar
Kunne gitt andre svar

Men nå kan det gå
Både dager og år
Kom vinter og kom vår

For dette er vi gode på

Og hvem vet
Hva som vil skje
Om ti år
Er vi et annet sted
Og det er kanskje ikke like lett da
Det kan skje

For tenk så tilfeldig det er
Hvilken dag som kommer
I hva slags vær
Hvem vi blir
Er umulig å si

Men for nå
Er jeg klar
For jeg vet hva jeg har
Hvor jeg vil, og hvor jeg kommer fra





For dette er vi gode på

Such a sad but beautiful theme. The song and the voice convey it perfectly. And thank you for the great visualization of it - this artless little ritual of fixing the bed clothing by the aged couple evokes warm melancholic feelings.

approximate translation:

So lucky I am here
Who has you here every morning, you are there
Imagine how random it was
And what consequences it has another night, another bar
Could have given other answers
But now it can go
Both days and years
Winter comes and spring comes
For this we are good at
We are good at this
We are good at this
And who knows what will happen
Ten years we are somewhere else and it may not be easy then, it can happen
For think so randomly what day it is that comes in what kind of weather
Who we become is impossible to say
But for now I'm ready for I know what I have what I want, where I come from
We are good at this
We are good at this
We are good at this
Yea, this we are good at
We are good at this
We are good at this
We are good at this

@Ксенія Арт I took an evening class for beginners iand after that I decided to be a volunteer in Norway for a year so I would pick up more. When you've learned a few basics I would recommend listening to radio or tvshows ...norway has this great webside called nrk.no where you can watch a lot of the content for free even if you are from another country. :)
