lyrics
JOF: Mia! Jag ser dem Mia!
Jag ser dem!
Där borta på den mörka ovädershimlen.
De är där allihop.
Och den stränge Herren Döden
bjuder dem till dans.
De träder bortåt,
bort från gryningen
i en högtidlig dans,
bort mot de mörka landen,
medan regnet sköljer
över deras ansikten,
tvättar deras kinder
från tårarnas salt…
MIA (Ler): Du med dina syner och drömmar.
………..
JOF: Mia! I see them, Mia!
I see them!
Over there against the dark, stormy sky.
They are all there.
And Death, the severe master,
invites them to dance.
They dance away from the dawn
and it's a solemn dance
towards the dark lands,
while the rain washes their faces
and cleans the salt of the tears
from their cheeks.
They dance away from the dawn
and it's a solemn dance
towards the dark lands,
while the rain washes their faces
and cleans the salt of the tears
from their cheeks.
MIA: (smiling) You with your visions and dreams.
