Handens Fem Fingrar [English translation]

I know you, I know you so well

Your horrors, your anguish are in my soul too

You are my flesh and blood

It carries a precious name, its my unconditional love

I do what I can

So big and strong during the day, but so tiny in the middle of the night,

when nobody sees, nobody knows, comes the tears in the middle of the laugh

Five fingers will shelter you.

One is the moon, one is the sun, one is the pole star behind the cloud.

One is hope, one is belief

The five fingers will cradle you until you are calm.

Hmmm...

The darkness is vast now.

The moon is split in half,

But it is night that makes the light of the day and in the light there's you,

And this world is round,

is there anyone who can make me despair?

And something that is as true,

You are afraid of your shadows,

all the threat that can never reach you.

I will sing you a promise,

and I know that you understand me.

Five fingers will shelter you.

One is the moon, one is the sun, one is the pole star behind the cloud.

One is hope, one is belief

The five fingers will cradle you until you are calm.

If you remember the path in the forest,

that we wander sometimes

we climbed down the path to the water.

Your hand in mine.

Look so far down into the deep waters,

in the bottom of the lake,

there is a silver treasure that glimmers,

that is yours tonight.

So slumber in and dream.

Five fingers will shelter you.

One is the moon, one is the sun, one is the pole star behind the cloud.

One is hope, one is belief

The five fingers will cradle you until you are calm.

The five fingers will cradle you until you are calm.

Yeeeeeaaaaa...
