lyrics

KASTAT BORT ALLT
En gång höll jag henne i min famn
En gång föll vi varje dag för varann
Men ve det som varar
Jag kan inte förklara
Nu har jag kastat bort allt

En gång höll jag berg uppå min hand
Såg hur dess floder mellan fingrarna rann
Men ve det som består
Jag kan inte förstå
Nu har jag kastat bort allt

Kärleken är allt, den driver vår värld
Kärleken, bara den, det är sant
Vad det än är värt
Om lyckan är dej kär
Så lyss till en som varit där

Så om du finner nån att hålla kär
Ta det till ditt hjärta och håll det där
För en sak kan jag lova
Att du kommer bli sårad
Om du kastar bort allt
Om du kastar bort allt

Back-translation
THROWN IT ALL AWAY
I once held her in my arms
We once fell in love with each other every day
But woe betide what lasts (it’s difficult to translate the Swedish word “ve” (“woe betide” is the closest expression, and both “ve” and “woe betide” are archaic (even though “ve” lives on in some phrasings, and fits perfectly in Swedish for the lyrics, which is both romantic, somehow old-fashioned but also has modern expressions in it, but it’s not spot on. “Ve” is the same as an ominous prediction that something bad will happen, in this case seen in retrospect.)
I can’t explain
Now I’ve thrown it all away

Once I held mountains in the palm of my hand
I watched how their rivers ran between my fingers
But woe betide what lasts (The Swedish words “varar” and “består” both mean “last”)
I can’t understand
Now I’ve thrown it all away

Love is all there is, it makes the world go around
Love and only love, it’s true
So for what it’s worth
If happiness is dear to you
Listen to one who has been there

So if you find someone to love
Take it to your heart, and keep it there
For one thing I can promise
You will surely be a-hurtin'
If you throw it all away
If you throw it all away
