Det Var En Decemberkväll När Våra lyrics with English translation

Each line in the original and in English. Translation and romanization by AI, to help you follow the song.

Det var en decemberkväll när våra vägar möttes,

It was a December evening when our paths met,

snart sex år har gått sen våra hjärtan började slå.

soon six years have passed since our hearts began to beat.

Dina barn och mina, så små då i början,

Your children and mine, so small then in the beginning,

nu har tiden sprungit och vi sett dem växa upp ändå.

now time has flown and we've seen them grow up anyway.

Vi byggde något eget, på vårt alldeles egna sätt,

We built something of our own, in our very own way,

några mil emellan men vi fann alltid rätt.

some miles between us but we always found the right way.

Vi tog vara på stunderna, på allt vi hann få,

We cherished the moments, all that we managed to get,

och jag trodde aldrig att vi skulle hamna här ändå.

and I never thought we would end up here anyway.

[Pre-refräng] · Pre-chorus

För någonstans på vägen tappade vi tråden,

Because somewhere along the way we lost the thread,

orden blev till bråk och tystnaden tog plats.

words turned into arguments and silence took its place.

Vi står på olika håll och verkar inte riktigt nå varandra,

We stand on different sides and don't seem to reach each other,

men under allt det där finns kärleken kvar.

but beneath all that, love remains.

[Refräng] · Chorus

Jag vill hitta tillbaka till oss,

I want to find our way back to us,

till den kärlek som en gång var vår.

to the love that once was ours.

Till alla drömmar vi bar på tillsammans,

To all the dreams we carried together,

till känslan som fortfarande finns kvar.

to the feeling that still remains.

Jag vill inte vinna våra bråk,

I don't want to win our arguments,

jag vill bara vinna tillbaka dig.

I just want to win you back.

Vi har så mycket kvar att uppleva,

We have so much left to experience,

så snälla, hitta tillbaka till mig.

so please, find your way back to me.

För jag älskar dig än, mer än du förstår,

Because I still love you, more than you understand,

och jag vill att det ska vara vi, även alla kommande år.

and I want it to be us, even all the coming years.

[Vers 2] · Verse 2

En junidag vid vattnet, vid vår plats vid sjön,

One June day by the water, at our spot by the lake,

där jag tog mod till mig och ställde frågan med en dröm.

where I gathered courage and asked the question with a dream.

Jag föll på knä och frågade om du ville bli min,

I fell to my knees and asked if you wanted to be mine,

och i mitt hjärta visste jag att det var du och ingen annan.

and in my heart, I knew it was you and no one else.

Sen kom Loke in i livet, för snart ett år sen,

Then Loke came into our lives, almost a year ago,

du var lite tveksam först, men se på er igen.

you were a little hesitant at first, but look at you two again.

Vem kunde tro att en liten hund kunde förändra så mycket?

Who would have thought that a small dog could change so much?

Nu finns det ännu mer kärlek i det som blivit vårt.

Now there is even more love in what has become ours.

[Pre-refräng 2] · Pre-chorus 2

Jag vet att jag inte alltid är så lätt att förstå,

I know I'm not always easy to understand,

jag är brutalt ärlig och vill mer än jag kan nå.

I am brutally honest and want more than I can reach.

Jag har drömmar, jag har längtan, jag vill upptäcka allt,

I have dreams, I have longing, I want to discover everything,

och jag vill göra hela resan tillsammans med dig.

and I want to do the whole journey together with you.

[Refräng] · Chorus

Jag vill hitta tillbaka till oss,

I want to find our way back to us,

till den kärlek som en gång var vår.

to the love that once was ours.

Till alla drömmar vi bar på tillsammans,

To all the dreams we carried together,

till känslan som fortfarande finns kvar.

to the feeling that still remains.

Jag vill inte vinna våra bråk,

I don't want to win our arguments,

jag vill bara vinna tillbaka dig.

I just want to win you back.

Vi har så mycket kvar att uppleva,

We have so much left to experience,

så snälla, hitta tillbaka till mig.

so please, find your way back to me.

För jag älskar dig än, mer än du förstår,

Because I still love you, more than you understand,

och jag vill att det ska vara vi, även alla kommande år.

and I want it to be us, even all the coming years.

[Brygga – lugnt och naket] · Bridge – calm and bare

Vi behöver inte vara perfekta,

We don't have to be perfect,

vi behöver inte alltid tycka lika.

we don't always have to agree.

Men vi måste våga prata, våga lyssna,

But we must dare to talk, dare to listen,

våga mötas där vi en gång stod.

dare to meet where we once stood.

Våra barn är en del av våra hjärtan,

Our children are a part of our hearts,

och Loke springer lyckligt mellan oss.

and Loke runs happily between us.

Jag vill inte se det fina gå förlorat,

I don't want to see what's beautiful be lost,

för jag tror fortfarande på oss.

because I still believe in us.

Jag vill se världen genom dina ö

I want to see the world through your eyes
