"The Reunion"⛵⏳💞 | «Gjenforeningen»⛵⏳💞

[Intro / Introduksjon] (00:01) (Hmm-mm-mm… / Hmm-mm-mm…) [Verse 1 / Vers 1] (00:14) Jeg søkte ly i en bokhandel / på en regnværsdag I ducked into a book shop / on a rainy day (00:21) En bok om seilskip / falt ned fra hyllen A book about sailing ships / tumbled from the shelf [Chorus / Refreng] (00:30) Skip tapt i en storm / Går ikke alltid tapt Ships lost in a storm / Are not always lost (00:35) Noen ganger ankommer de / på en uventet strand… Sometimes they arrive / On unexpected shores… [Verse 2 / Vers 2] (00:42) Men plutselig - hva var dette But suddenly - what was this (00:43) Forsiktig åpnet jeg brevet: / «Kjæreste,» begynte det Carefully I opened the letter: / “Dearest,” it began (00:48) Jeg glemte å puste / Jeg glemte regnet I forgot to breathe / I forgot the rain (00:49) Jeg glemte at regn i det hele tatt eksisterte I forgot that rain even existed at all (00:52) Hvem var dette / Når var dette Who was this / When was this (00:55) Brevet / nektet å røpe sin hemmelighet The letter / refused to reveal its secret (00:56) Jeg vet ikke hva som kom over meg / Men jeg måtte finne ut av det… I don’t know what came over me / But I had to know… [Chorus / Refreng] x 2 (01:02 / 01:10) Skip tapt i en storm / Går ikke alltid tapt Ships lost in a storm / Are not always lost (01:07 / 01:14) Noen ganger ankommer de / på en uventet strand… Sometimes they arrive / On unexpected shores… [Verse 3 / Vers 3] (01:20) Adressen nesten visket bort / Men jeg fant stedet The address had faded / But I tracked it down (01:24) Nå en byggeplass / Og sto der / fortvilet It was now a construction site / I stared at it, forlorn (01:28) Et navn så vidt leselig / Jeg ringte dusinvis / Noen lo, noen ble rørte A name barely legible / I called dozens / Some laughed, some were moved (01:34) Men ingen av dem / den jeg lette etter But no one was the person / I was trying to find (01:37) Frustrert / lukket jeg boka Frustrated / I closed the book (01:40) Den siste tråden: Seilskip… / Kanskje... The last thread: Sailing ships… / Maybe... [Chorus / Refreng] x 2 (01:43 / 01:49) Skip tapt i en storm / Går ikke alltid tapt Ships lost in a storm / Are not always lost (01:47 / 01:54) Noen ganger ankommer de / på en uventet strand… Sometimes they arrive / On unexpected shores… [Verse 4 / Vers 4] (01:59) Jeg følte meg som en tosk / Værbitte sjøfolk / Lo av dette oppdraget / Rett ut av en bok I felt like a fool / Weather-beaten sailors / Chuckled at this quest / Straight out of a book (02:05) Og sa vennlig: / «Håpløst. / Som et skip tapt i storm… » And said kindly: / “Hopeless. / Like a ship lost in a storm…” [Chorus / Refreng] x 2 (02:10 / 02:17) Skip tapt i en storm / Går ikke alltid tapt Ships lost in a storm / Are not always lost (02:14 / 02:22) Noen ganger ankommer de / på en uventet strand… Sometimes they arrive / On unexpected shores… [Bridge / Bro] (02:27) Men havet har sine hemmeligheter / Hun hvisker dem But the sea has its secrets / She whispers them (02:32) Bare til de tåpelige og modige Only to the foolhardy and the brave (02:34) (Skip tapt i en storm / Går ikke alltid tapt...) (Ships lost in a storm / Are not always lost...) [Verse 5 / Vers 5] (02:38) Regnet falt / Skumringen falt / Den siste marinaen / Ingen der Rain fell / Dusk fell / The last marina / No one there (02:43) Gjennomvåt og motløs / snudde jeg meg for å gå Drenched and disheartened / I turned to go (02:45) Da noen ropte til meg Then someone called out to me (02:48) Mens jeg mumlet om dette brevet / Øynene hans glitret As I mumbled about this letter / His eyes sparkled (02:51) Hans «smilerynker» var ekte og dype His “crow’s feet (laugh lines)” were genuine and deep (02:54) Men så ble han stille / Oppslukt av den falmede skriften... But then he went quiet / Absorbed in the faded ink… [Chorus / Refreng] x 2 (03:01 / 03:09) Skip tapt i en storm / Går ikke alltid tapt Ships lost in a storm / Are not always lost (03:07 / 03:14) Noen ganger ankommer de / på en uventet strand… Sometimes they arrive / On unexpected shores… [Verse 6 / Vers 6] (03:19) Han lukket brevet / og så på meg He folded the letter / and looked at me (03:22) Stillheten strakte seg / Og så sa han: The silence stretched / And then he said: (03:24) «Skipet hans gikk ned i en storm. / Dette var det siste brevet.» "His ship went down in a storm. / This was the last letter." (03:30) Han så på noe langt / «Hun er ikke alltid stille - havet.» He looked at something far away / “She isn’t always quiet - the sea.” [Bridge / Bro] / [Outro / Avslutning] (03:36) Han var stille / men holdt brevet tett He was silent / but held the letter close (03:40) 👩«Vær så snill - å ta den. / Jeg er glad jeg fant deg.» 👩"Please - take it. / I’m glad I found you." (03:46)🧑«Jeg er glad jeg fant deg, også,» sa han stille. / «Jeg mente hvert ord…» 🧑"I’m glad I found you, too,” he said quietly. / "I meant every word…” (03:52) Plutselig... husket jeg Suddenly... I remembered (03:54) Og denne gangen hadde havet nåde... And this time the sea had mercy... (03:57) (Mmm-hmm-hmm…) (04:08) (Havet har sine hemmeligheter / Og hun hvisker dem (The sea has its secrets / And she whispers them (04:12) Bare til de dumdristige og de modige…) (Mmm-hmm-hmm…) Only to the reckless and the brave… ) (Mmm-hmm-hmm…) [Outro / Avslutning] [(Chorus reprise / Reprise på kor)] x2 (04:17 / 04:24) Skip tapt i en storm / Går ikke alltid tapt Ships lost in a storm / Are not always lost (04:21 / 04:29) Noen ganger ankommer de / på en uventet strand… Sometimes they arrive / On unexpected shores… Notes: A woman visiting a vintage book shop discovers a love letter hidden in a book and can’t rest until she finds out who wrote it. [Spoiler] It’s a story about reincarnation. A long time ago… He was a seaman lost at sea in a storm. She was the one patiently waiting for him, only he never returned. Both the sender and recipient of the letter have long since passed away. The books and other effects are lost, given away, or sold. She (current time) finds the letter in a book and has an irresistible urge that she can’t logically explain - she has to find the person who wrote the letter. And so her search begins. She tries everything possible but fails every time. She's about to leave at the last marina, feeling defeated, when he hails her from the dock. He reads the letter - and recognizes her. When he says “I meant every word,” it all comes flooding back to her as well - as they’re reunited in this life. Fate, like the sea, clings to many secrets and can be breathtakingly cruel. But sometimes even Fate gives second chances… Merknader: En kvinne som besøker en vintagebokhandel oppdager et kjærlighetsbrev i en bok og kan ikke hvile før hun finner ut hvem som skrev det. [Spoiler] Det er en historie om reinkarnasjon.
