Himlen är oskyldigt blå [English translation]

The sky is innocently blue

like the eyes of small children

That raindrops fall like tears do

is not the fault of the stars

Darling I know how it feels

when the bridges to safety are burned

Although the time has pushed us in to a corner

the sky is so innocently blue

When we grew up, life was a game

We were eternitys hope

It was obvious that our future would be

untouchable

Summer swept along

the earth warmed our feet where we ran

the rye swayed, and the grass turned green

All the life was so beautiful

The sky is so innocently blue

like the eyes of small children

That raindrops fall like tears do

is not the fault of the stars

Darling I know how it feels

when the bridges to safety are burned

although the time has pushed us in to a corner

the sky is so innocently blue

Frozen on a beach

we flew with kites as the time floated ashore

We were children that no evil could reach

The sky was so blue

Now the clouds touch the ground

I was blinded by the strong sunlight

But my eyes are always going to smile at you

Can anything more be asked of me

The sky is so innocently blue

the deepest sea too

that raindrops fall like tears do

is not the fault of the stars

Darling I know how it feels

when the bridges to safety are burned

although the time has pushed us in to a corner

the sky is so innocently blue
