Billistan blues

Mun sihkun buot dutnje, baby, jus it áiggo oaidnit dan šat
Mun sihkun buot dutnje, baby, jus it áiggo oaidnit dan šat
Go it luohte šat munnje it luohte šat munnje
 
Mun sihkun buot dutnje baby, vai it galgga dárbbašit
Jurddašit boares áššiid, mun sihkun buot dutnje dál
Mun sihkun dál buot boares áššiid, baby
 
Dál ii leat šat mihkke báhcán, dál ii leat munnos mihkke šat
Dál ii leat šat mihkke báhcán, dál ii leat munnos mihkke šat
Mun lean sihkkon buot maid čálášeimme
 
Mun vikkan dál geahččat ovddos, in vikka šat jurddašit
Vikkan dál geahččat ovddos, in vikka šat jurddašit
Muhtumin guoktálasttán – háliidan jorggihit
 
Jorggihit dutnje, baby, jorggihit dutnje fas
Jorggihit dutnje, baby, jorggihit dutnje fas
Dál go guoros árkkat leat livččii han vejolaš
 
Deaivvadit rabas máilmmis, deaivvadit máilmmis fas
Deaivvadit rabas máilmmis, deaivvadit máilmmis fas
Jus mun vuolggán meahccái, it go vuolgge maid?
 
Mun sihkun buot dutnje baby, vai besse fas deaivvadit
Mun sihkun buot dutnje baby, vai besse fas čálašit
Mun vuorddán du dieđu, vuorddán du dieđu
 
It go čále šat munnje, baby, it go čále šat maidege?
It go čále šat munnje, baby, it go čále šat maidege?
Mun livččen háliidan du jiena gullat oktii vel
 
Mun in ádde manne galgá ná leat, mun in ádde manne galgá ná
Mun in ádde manne galgá ná leat, mun in ádde manne galgá ná
Manne nubbi galgá billistit nuppi eallima?

Destruction Blues, translated by Julie Whitehorn and Ville Söderbaum

I’ll erase it all for you, baby, if you don’t want to see it anymore
I’ll erase it all for you, baby, if you don’t want to see it anymore
When you don’t trust me anymore, you don’t trust me anymore
 
I’ll erase it all for you, baby, so that you don’t need
To think about the past, I’ll erase it all for you now
I’ll erase all the old things now, baby
 
Now nothing is left, we don’t have anything anymore
Now nothing is left, we don’t have anything anymore
I have erased everything we wrote
 
Now I try to look forward, I don’t try to think anymore
Now I try to look forward, I don’t try to think anymore
Sometimes I hesitate – and I want to turn back
 
Turn back to you, baby, turn back to you again
Turn back to you, baby, turn back to you again
Now that the sheets are blank, would it be possible
 
To meet in the open world, to meet in the world again
To meet in the open world, to meet in the world again
If I go to the mountains, won’t you come along too?
 
I erase it all for you baby, so that we can meet again
I erase it all for you baby, so that we can write again
I wait for your message, I wait for your message
 
Won’t you write me anymore, baby, won’t you write anything?
Won’t you write me anymore, baby, won’t you write anything?
I would like to hear your voice once more
 
I don’t understand why it should be like this, I don’t understand why
I don’t understand why it should be like this, I don’t understand why
Why must we destroy each other’s lives?
