Petter Carlsen - Majestet

From my new album 'Glimt' (due 31.03.2017)
order the vinyl, cd or dl from www.pettercarlsen.com

A friend of a friend of mine had a conversation with his father while driving from one place to another. He asked him what he wanted to be in his next life. Father said "I want to be an eagle". Shortly after this, his father passes. While saying goodbye, an eagle comes flying over them, circling once, then continues towards the mountains in the horizon.

I've attached the lyrics translated to english underneath the norwegian ones.

MAJESTET
Æ trur at det finnes nå mer enn øyet kan se
ørna som sirkla rett over ditt hvilested
et øyeblikk kommer igjen, et øyeblikk kommer igjen
æ huske det va nåt du sa

Æ ser deg høyt oppe over husan
kom du hjem, har du fred, e du fri?
send et signal til meg
Du ser ned til meg før du drar videre
vingeslag, du blir vag, vingeslag
i ensom majestet
en fri majestet

Æ huske det godt, du fortalte ka du ville bli
den fineste av alle fugla, så mektig og fri
æ håpe og trur du kom hjem, æ håpe og trur du fant frem
At det finnes mer enn vi ser, et øyeblikk kommer igjen

MAJESTY
I believe that there is more than meets the eye
the eagle that circled above us, while saying goodbye
a moment returns
a moment returns
I remember something you said

I see you high above the rooftops
Are you home, in peace, are you free? send me a signal
You look down on me before you move on
beating wings, you fade, beating wings
In lonely majesty
an unbound majesty

I remember it well, you told me, what you wanted to become
The fairest of all birds, so mighty and free
I hope and believe you came home, I hope and believe you made it there
That there is more than meets the eye, a moment returns


All the best,
Petter C
