Två ljus [English translation]

Lie down next to me and hold me a little,

soon I'll retreat into myself.

I wish there was some comfort to be found,

but I know that there is no help.

Now I must go into the darkness,

now I must go down into my well,

where no one I know can hear

how I scream.

So I want you to leave me alone

when you think I have fallen asleep;

I don’t want you to see me like this.

You know that I have never believed in any God,

but sometimes I go into His house.

So when dusk falls tomorrow

I'll go into the church and light two candles;

One for those I have hurt,

for friends I have let down,

and for the tears that they have cried

for my sake.

The other that I shall find a love with the strength to last,

and a woman who can for once love me

as I am.

A candle for those souls I have hurt,

for friends I have let down,

and for the tears that they have cried

for my sake.

The other that I shall find a love with the strength to last,

and a woman who can for once love me

as I am.
