Kvдllen dе vi mцttes sken den upp vеare vдg sе klart som en lantдrna
Allt дare sе tyst utanfцare mitt hus sе tyst och lцv faller varsamt
Lika varsamt som du just den kvдllen du hцll om mig.
Mеnen jag vet mеnen hцrde vеare sеng som vi sjцng den natten
Time to say goodbye, hцare vinden spela vеare sеng
Som fцrde oss samman en gеng
Lдngs grдnderna I ett fдmmande land
Hцare vindarna spela vеare sеng
Itґs time to say goodbye
Varje kvдll stеare jag vid fцnstret I mitt rum och ser mot horisonten
Snart sе vеare jag trдffa dig igen, igen
Snart sе fеare jag trдffa dig igen
Mеnen lyser underbart som om han vet och ler mot mig
Time to say goodbye, hцare vinden spela vеare sеng
Som fцrde oss samman en gеng
Minns nдare vi gick dдare fцrдlskade hand I hand
Lдngs grдnderna I ett fдmmande land
Hцare vindarna spela vеare sеng
Den fцrde oss samman
It's time to say say goodbye
Hцare vinderna spela vеare sеng
Som fцrde oss samman en gеng
Minns nдare vi gick dдare fцrдlskade hand I hand
Lдngs grдnderna I ett frдmmande land
Hцare vinderna spela vеare sеng
It's time to say goodbyyyyeeeee
The song "Time to Say Goodbye" by Sanna Nielsen is a beautiful love ballad that tells the story of two lovers who had to say goodbye but are still connected through the memories they shared. The lyrics showcase the emotional pain of separation and the hope of reuniting soon. The first verse talks about the singer sitting by the window every evening, looking at the stars, and remembering the night they met. The memory is still so vivid in their mind that they can visualize the lantern-like clarity of their path. The surroundings are calm and quiet, just like the night the singer's love held them gently. They believe that even the moon heard their song that night, and it smiled.
The chorus talks about the time to say goodbye, and how the winds play their song, just like they did when they first met. The winds remind the singer of the street they walked in a foreign land, holding hands and falling in love. The second verse showcases the singer's longing for their beloved, waiting eagerly to meet them again. They believe that the moon is shining brightly, knowing that soon they will be united with their love. The chorus repeats, affirming that it's time to say goodbye, but the winds still play their song, reminding them of the love they shared.
Overall, "Time to Say Goodbye" is a poignant yet hopeful song about love, separation, and the memories that keep people connected.

Hon sjunger bra men vill höra Carola och Tommy Körberg göra den på svenska och varför översätter hon inte refrängen....
