Innan mörkret faller [English translation]

Before the darkness falls

I'll leave a few warm lines

I'll be your strong friend

I'll show a few better sides

and promise you something again

Before the morning comes

I'll turn all coats back1

and trust my power a bit more

I'll fetch something I've lost

a will that I've actually had

I've lost days and a hopeless year

I've worn down new paths where the borders go

and you'll never be a friend again

one against one

'til the morning comes

Before the darkness falls

I want to sort a few things

no right and no wrongs

I want to open up for a truce

you have your and I have my part

and before the morning comes

I want to bleed a few drops against the stone

there is time for a few tears yet

and make it clear to my northern star

that I'll never go down again

I have lost days and a hopeless year

It is like how I feel when the thunder strikes

and you'll never be a friend again

one against one

til' the morning comes

yes, til' the morning comes

My eyes are too wet

to give the epilogue justice

I can take anymore words

no more power for a beautiful exit

I do not leave a made table

but before the morning comes

I want to leave a few warm lines

maybe we'll meet a spring again

I do not regret any steps by your side

I water your plants still

I have lost days and a hopeless year

It is like how I feel when the thunder strikes

and you'll never be a friend again

one against one

til' the morning comes

I've lost days and a hopeless year

I've worn down new paths where the borders go

and you'll never be a friend again

one against one

'til the morning comes

'til the morning comes

1. Probably alludes to the expression "Vända kappan efter vinden" (to turn your coat according to the wind), ie to be "follow the stream"
