If you left me now...

jag kanske skulle leta upp någon yngre

som en fjäder i hatten

det skulle bli för tomt om ingen fanns där

som värmde mig i natten

men jag skulle aldrig ha tålamod nog

att bli förstådd

ingen känner mig så väl som du

jag skulle fastna i min ensamhet igen

om du lämnade mig nu

-Lars Winnerbäcks Om du lämnade mig nu-

~~~~~

(Quickly translated by me:

maybe I would go searching for someone younger

as a feather in my hat

it'd be too empty if there was noone there

too keep me warm at night

but I wouldn't have enough patience

to be understood

nobody knows me as well as you do

I would get stuck in my loneliness again

if you left me now)

A friend sent me an email yesterday that had me reflecting on past relationships, break ups and my life as it is now. The five last rows in this verse from Lars Winnerbäck's Om du lämnade mig nu kept coming back to me.

I didn't think I'd have the patience. I'm glad I was wrong.
