En hel värld inom mig
Tomas Andersson Wij Lyrics

En blåsig gångbro över motorvägen
I see a bridge over a busy road, the wind is strong and it's creating a soothing rhythm.

Stora tomma fält
There are vast empty fields around me, the sight of which fills me with peace.

Jag cyklar på bakdäcket hem
I'm cycling back home and enjoying the breeze.

Under rönnbärshimlen
The sky above me is colored with the beautiful red of the rowan tree fruits.

Dagmammor på balkonger står och röker och ser solen sjunka
I see the babysitters standing on their balconies, smoking and admiring the sunset.

Över den lilla lilla skog
I see a small forest, and it's a relief to see even a little piece of nature in this urban area.

Som blev kvar
This small forest is the last piece of nature remaining in the area.

Långt borta
In the distance, I can hear the sound of crows cawing, possibly engaged in a game.

Ljudet av en korpmatch
The sound of the caws is like that of a crow match, and it's both fascinating and amusing.

Och jag bär den inom mig
All these sights and sounds are now a part of me, and I carry them within me always.

Jag bär en hel värld inom mig
My experiences, thoughts, and memories make up my whole world which is always with me, no matter where I go.

Skateboardsramp i masonit
I see a skateboard ramp made with masonite, and it reminds me of my carefree childhood.

Och den grunda dammen
I see a shallow pond which is a perfect spot for kids to catch tadpoles.

Det är ungar överallt
There are children everywhere, reminding me of the untroubled joy that exists in being young.

Hål i stängslet till tennisbanan
The fence surrounding a tennis court has a hole in it, likely created by kids in the area who want to access it.

Och den andra världen
These sights remind me of the world that exists beyond the narrow focus of my adult life, a world that is both simpler and more complex.

Alkisarnas schäfrar ser sorgsna ut där de vaktar centrum
The dogs owned by the alcoholics who frequent the area look melancholic as they guard the center of the town.

En gång var det nån som såg
Once upon a time, someone saw something extraordinary happen in the town.

En ängel landa
They say an angel landed in the town, and it became a source of local lore.

Bland gråduvorna på sparbankstaket
The angel supposedly landed among the gray pigeons that perch on the spare bank roof.

Alla historier börjar nånstans
Every story has its beginning, and even the most mundane events can turn into magnificent tales if they're told well.

Alla bäckar har ett språng
Every stream has a source, and every story has a starting point.

Och vem kan säga att han är helt fri
No one can claim to be entirely free from the influence of their past.

Från det som hänt en gång
Our experiences and memories shape who we are, even if we try to escape their reach.

Det är en tid när allt är så nytt att till och med betongen är vacker
There are times when everything seems new and exciting, and even something as gray as concrete can seem beautiful.

Jag står högst upp på ett berg
I'm on top of a mountain, and the view is spectacular.

Och ser punkthusen sträcka sig emot Guds finger
The tall apartment buildings seem to reach for the sky and touch the very finger of God.

Och det är vi som ska bo där som ska skriva den nya historien
We are the ones who will live in those buildings, and it's up to us to make new stories and create our own realities.

Men ingen säger någonting
Despite our power to shape the future, we are often quiet, unsure, and hesitant.

Om vad den skulle kunna handla om
We're not sure what kind of story we want to create, what kind of future we want to build.
