We're Still Alive

Clique para ver a letra original (Sueco)

We have walked with open eyes into the time of expectation;

We have turned a blind eye in disappointment when everything was past; But we're still alive.

We have climbed up the mountain to the triumphant highest peak;

We plunged downhill then we finally came up;

But we're still alive, but we're still alive.

We have walked in the community with those we cherish;

We have suffered through all the lonely anguish; But we're still alive.

They have welcomed us with warmth and with loving words;

They have shown us a chill that has iced our blood;

But we're still alive, yes, we're still alive.

So it seems that life is an antagonism in itself;

Every love carries a memory of a hate;

Every moment of happiness carries a shadow of a grief;

Every security rests on a wandering;

We're still alive, yes, we're still alive.

We have said that there is nothing that can't be managed;

We have sometimes believed that one day everything still falls apart;

But we're still alive, yes, we're still alive.

So we continue to wander, yes, we continue to go;

We do not know how we stop, we have gone too many years;

And we're still alive, yes we're still alive.

So we cling to the idea of striving towards a goal,

then may time show if you take yourself there.

You want to know that you are still making something of your only life;

Should you fall, you should do it in battle;

We're still alive; Yes, we live.

Obrigado! ❤

About Vi Lever Ännu, Björn Afzelius wrote
"En något dyster sång om att livet är som en berg- och dalbana. Men också om att finns det liv så finns det hopp"
(A somewhat somber song that life is like a mountain and a rollercoaster. But also that if there is life there is hope)

This song is an inspirational look at the difficulties one faces in life and the rewards for carrying on. Many thanks to Maria Strand and Arsene for their help in editing this translation.
