Two Different Stars

I was looking at the sky tonight
There were only two stars above
They looked so very close
But my eyes were making me blind
Really there were far away
Just like you and me
I’m sitting here all alone
Thinkin’ of you

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you, it’s cold, oh I need you

I know I don’t need to complain
The world has bigger problems
Sorry but I cannot think of anything but you
I could do the same by choosing the wrong way

No! I have to stay
Stay away from you

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you, it’s cold, oh I need you

I’d realized this greaf for you
Had killed me
The stars above far away
Trying to reach me but no no
The light I see in front of me is stronger
I’m not alone in this life

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you I’ll go on now, goodbye love

Nina K. Jorgensen & Malik H. Olsen: 1999


L’extrait choisi provient d’un album collectif sorti en 1999 appelé Inuuneq (la vie); tous les textes évoquent le suicide — un problème particulièrement aigu au Groenland — en affirmant, chacun à sa manière, qu’il n’est pas une solution. Le texte ci-dessus est chanté en anglais; les autres sont en groenlandais.
