Huvudet Högt [English translation]

It was a night along time ago, when I was told

That everything was over, you have passed away

The last time I saw you, you were old and tired

But your whole life, you held your head high

The clouds in the sky sail by

Your life is over, your soul is free

And when everything went wrong, you were at a man's house

Who laid in bed, and held his hed up high

I went here on earth, with ashes in my hand

The steps, to another country

Something new will come from everything that died

I stood at your grave and held my head high

I left my home nearly 30 years ago

I went forward and back

Between the stage and the dressing room

Too much has been said, and too much has been forgotten

But none of it got to me

And I held my head up high

Now I'm standing the room I lived in before

I was someone else, behind a closed door

I was 17, I was the craziest person I knew

When I went out the door and held my head high

You can only love and lose

There will always things you won't get to do

Follow your heart, five words that I bought

You can only lose and keep your head held high
