Inspired by this song “Welcome Home” [link] A duet between the Norwegian soprano, Sissel Kyrkjebø, and the Danish pop/rock singer Poul Krebs. It’s a reinterpretation of the English song ”Never Alone”.
The picture was just the first image that popped into my head when I head the song, but I like the man/woman version because it sounds like a mother and father talking to their child.
A rough translation: (Woman) I want the angles to see you And that everything good will happen to you The road you walk on will lead you home I wish your glass will be full And that people will praise you in song And the dream and the road will lead you on
(Man) May you, when it counts, get the right strength So you easily can master the wildest steam May golden moments give you minutes of wonder I will stay here an wait You’re welcome home
(Woman) Welcome home, Welcome home You can stay for as long as you like You’re welcome home I know you have to go, but remember what I said You'll still be here in my heart and you’re welcome home
(Man) But you will have to tackle and stumble and stagger And fight with longing in wind and rain
(Woman) And when the darkness wants to take you Own you and have you, come here behind the hillside You’re welcome home
(Both) Welcome home, Welcome home You can stay for as long as you like You’re welcome home I know you have to go But remember what I said You'll still be here in my heart and you’re welcome home
+ even if the song is really nice too, it reminds me a lot of really popular lullaby in Finland: Sunshine and the goblin.
