Alt eg kan, e det livet lærte meg
Everything I know is what life taught me
å akseptere alt som gjorde vondt
to accept everything that hurt
svelgte kameler kver einaste dag
swallowed it all, every single day
og lo som ingenting va sant
and laughed like nothing was real
Eg bar på løgner som ikkje va mine
I carried lies that were never mine
masker blei min unniform
masks became my uniform
ein for kver gang eg måtte skjula
one for every time I had to hide
kem eg egentlig va
who I really was
Eg tilpassa meg
I adapted
eg overlevde
I survived
dag i mørket og natt i lys
days in darkness and nights in light
Eg overlevde alt de gjorde mot meg
I survived everything they did to me
men eg mista meg sjøl på veien dit
but I lost myself along the way
ble det eg måtte, for å stå igjen
I became what I had to, just to remain
men eg kjente meg ikkje igjen te slutt
but in the end, I didn’t recognize myself
Eg kjempa meg opp fra ingenting
I fought my way up from nothing
blei sterkare av alt som brøyt meg ner
I grew stronger from everything that broke me down
men sannheten eg aldri sa høgt:
but the truth I never said out loud:
eg forlot meg sjøl for å overleva
I left myself behind to survive
Eg lærte meg å bera smerten stille
I learned to carry the pain in silence
som ellers ville tatt meg heilt
that otherwise would have consumed me
fant menneske som ga meg stunder
I found people who gave me moments
men ikkje alle va det eg trengte
but not all were what I needed
Avvist
Rejected
brukt og knust
used and broken
eg reiste meg sakte, bit for bit
I rose slowly, piece by piece
lærte meg å stå i meg sjøl
I learned to stand in myself
Dei såg meg som et lett bytte
They saw me as an easy target
men eg nekta å bli som de
but I refused to become like them
for viss eg speilte det eg hata
because if I mirrored what I hated
ville eg mista meg sjøl igjen…
I would lose myself again…
Eg overlevde alt de gjorde mot meg
I survived everything they did to me
men eg mista meg sjøl på veien dit
but I lost myself along the way
ble det eg måtte for å stå oppreist
I became what I had to just to stand upright
men eg kjente meg ikkje igjen te slutt
but in the end, I didn’t recognize myself
Eg blei sterkare av alt som brøyt meg ner
I became stronger from everything that broke me down
men prisen eg aldri sa høgt:
but the price I never said out loud:
eg forlot meg sjøl for å overlevaaa
I left myself behind to surviiive
Klok som ein slange
Wise as a snake
men redd som et barn
but scared like a child
eg visste ikkje bedre
I didn’t know any better
eg gjorde det eg måtte
I did what I had to
for å pusta
to breathe
for å leva
to live
for å komma meg ijønå alt
to get through it all
Men eg e her nå
But I’m here now
og eg ser det klart
and I see it clearly
eg forlot meg sjøl…
I left myself…
men eg fant meg… IGJEN
but I found myself… AGAIN
