Lyrisk
I’m supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown
– Jeg skal vælge en frier til at bære kronen
I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud
– Jeg sagde, at jeg ville vælge, så snart jeg væver dette hylster
They don’t know that every night
– Det ved de ikke hver aften
I unthread all the work I’ve done
– Jeg har trukket alt det arbejde, jeg har gjort
‘Cause I’d rather lie
– For jeg vil hellere lyve
Than allow them to think they’ve won
– End at lade dem tro, at de har vundet
Though I never thought that I’d resort to this
– Selvom jeg aldrig troede, at jeg ville ty til dette
Just know I’ll be here
– Bare ved, at jeg vil være her
But I don’t know how much longer I’ll last
– Men jeg ved ikke, hvor meget længere jeg holder
Since we saw that storm
– Siden vi så stormen
And though it was so close to our kingdom
– Og selvom det var så tæt på vores rige
It was far from the norm
– Det var langt fra normen
Unless
– Medmindre
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
– Åh, kunne det være en slags tegn
That my world is all about to change?
– At min verden er ved at ændre sig?
Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?
– Er det endelig tid til den udfordring, jeg arrangerede?
Though I never thought that it would come to this
– Selvom jeg aldrig troede, at det ville komme til dette
Just know I’ll be here, buying you time
– Bare ved jeg vil være her, købe dig tid
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– Tiden er flygtig, den løber ud
Time to be the man of the house
– Tid til at være manden i huset
Oh, buying you time
– Åh, køber dig tid
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
– Tiden er flygtig, den løber ud
Time to be the man of the house
– Tid til at være manden i huset
Whoever can string my husband’s old bow
– Den, der kan snore min mands gamle bue
And shoot through twelve axes cleanly
– Og skyde gennem tolv akser rent
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
– Vil være den nye konge, sæt dig ned ved tronen
And rule with me as his queen
– Og regere med mig som hans dronning
Let the arrow fly
– Lad pilen flyve
Once you know that your aim is true
– Når du ved, at dit mål er sandt
‘Cause I’d rather die
– For jeg vil hellere dø
Than grow old without the best of you
– End at blive gammel uden det bedste af dig
Though I never thought
– Selvom jeg aldrig troede
That these would be the lengths we go for love
– At disse ville være de længder, vi går efter kærlighed
I would not have it any other way
– Jeg ville ikke have det på nogen anden måde
And though I never thought that it would end like this
– Og selvom jeg aldrig troede, at det ville ende sådan
Just know I’ll be here
– Bare ved, at jeg vil være her
Waiting, waiting
– Venter, venter
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Venter, venter
Penelope
– Penelope
Waiting, waiting
– Venter, venter
Oh
– Oh
