‘Ya un berger qui chante
Oh helas, ya un berger qui chante.
O chantez belle o chantez dans
O chantez belle o chantez dans
Que votre chanson est belle Oh helas
Que votre chanson est belle
O si je saurais chantez
O si je ne saurais chantez
Mais j’ai eut trop de peine oh helas
mais j’ai eut trop de peine.
Mon frere et mon marie sont mort
Mon frere et mon marie sont mort
Sont tous deux mort a la guerre oh helas
Sont tous deux mort a la guerre
O quelle regretter vous le plus?
O quelle regretter vous le plus?
Du mari ou de frere oh helas
Du mari ou de frere?
Un mari j’en a trouvererai un
Un mari j’en a trouvererai un
mais j’naurais plus de frere, Oh helas
mais j’naurais plus de frere

(The only things I miss
are things that never were
so I enter bliss
like wiping dust off a mirror) (not sung out loud, just thought)
In Oslo you can take your dog on the bus
thus,
every trip is taken in the presence of someone you can trust
No matter how drunk
No matter how sad
No matter how angry
No matter how bad
No matter how lonely
No matter who died
No matter who betrayed you
No matter who lied
All in all a less lonely place
All in all a less lonely place
Traveling with a familiar face
all in all...
In Norway you can take your dog on the train
therefore,
every trip is taken in the company of someone with a brain
No matter how crazy
No matter how tired
No matter you’ve failed
everything you’ve tried
no matter you take.........
everything too far
you don’t have a ticket
here comes the conductor
(The only things I regret
Are the things I wouldn’t change)
In Norway you can take your dog on the boat
therefore, every trip is taken in the presence of someone wearing a fur coat
No matter how poor
No matter how cold
No matter how hungry
No matter no smokes
No matter how old.........
No one laughs at your jokes
No matter how crippled
trying to look normal
All in all...
A dog lends a certain grace
when you’re giving up on the human race

Like Helen

Among us there are people who
life has given so much to
they ope their hand to receive the gift
praise and laughter on their lips
on the day they were born
a hundred church-bells shook the morn
money, home and family
making sure they never see the gaping maw of poverty
or a woman standing on the street
like Helen.
I met her when she was young
out by where the stars are hung
leaving home - nowhere to go
struggling against the undertow
holding out her empty bowl
she must go on living anyhow.
As they suffer day by day
these are the lambs on whom people prey.
Holding out her empty bowl
down to the corner she could go
taking drugs so she could live
not the kind the doctors give
Hastings, Princess in the end
no one saw her again.
A rich actor driving down
says “I can’t believe this is my town”
“Who are these people of the night?”
One of them might
have been Helen.
Among us there are people who
life has given so much to
they ope their hand to receive the gift
praise and laughter on their lips
on the day they were born
a hundred church-bells shook the morn
money, home and family
making sure they never see the gaping maw of poverty
or a woman standing there
dirty shoes and messy hair
with a thousand-yard stare...
In this world there is the shrew
in the same world the whale
there are those who much is given to
then there are the rest, who fail.
