Lillebror [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Would understand it

If it were you who’d pass me by but didn’t stop then*

Or was that someone else?

Would understand it

If you’d rather turn away and didn’t feel like talking

Where the hell should we start then?

Would understand it

Know that I’m everywhere but nowhere close to you

You may hate me too

I would understand it

[Verse 2]

Could you understand it?

I know that we’re sharing the same blood with wounds too deep

And I am scared of all the feelings you would feel

If you would understand it

There’s probably way too few times I have dared to call you,

Fewer than my fingers

Could you understand it?

That our adults let us down and dumped their burden

We were way too young to bear it

And to understand it

Could you understand it?

Please tell me that you’re forgiving

[Hook]

Do you stay awake at night too when you’re thinking ’bout the questions that we’ve never dared to ask in the past?

I may close my eyes way harder but still feel the tears burn every time I hear anyone saying your name

Do you stay awake at night too when you’re thinking ’bout the questions that we’ve never dared to ask in the past?

I may close my eyes way harder but still feel the tears burn every time I hear anyone saying your name

[Outro]

Could you understand it?

Could you, could you, could you understand it?

Please tell me that you’re forgiving

Could you understand it?

Know that I’m older and I should be feeling bigger

but I feel small in the darkness

Could you understand it?
