Enkle ting [English translation]

oh, how to make roses grow through a long winter when you live so far north

how to feed birds that don’t dare to come near

how to believe in love when you know what it’s like

oh, such simple things

oh, and how to forget words that wouldn’t have hurt so much

if you hadn’t known they were true

and how to forget someone who only sometimes remembers you?

oh, such simple things

oh, how to make roses grow from earth that is so cold

i’ve heard it can be done

oh, such simple things that others know how to do
