Lyrics:
Himlen är oskyldigt blå
som ögon när barnen är små
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör
Det rår inte stjärnorna för.
Äskling jag vet hur det känns
När broar till tryggheten bränns
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå
Himlen så oskyldigt blå
När vi växte opp
Lekte livet vi var evighetens hopp
Det var helt självklart att vår framtid skulle bli
Oförbrukat fri.
Somrar svepte fram
Jorden värmde våra fötter där vi sprang
Rågen gungade och gräset växte grönt
Hela livet var så skönt
Himlen är oskyldigt blå
som ögon när barnen är små
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör
Det rår inte stjärnorna för
Äskling jag vet hur det känns
när broar till tryggheten bränns
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå
Himlen så oskyldigt blå
Frusna på en strand
Flög vi med drakar medan tiden flöt i land
Vi var barn som ingen ondska kunde nå
Himlen var så blå
Nu tar molnen mark
Jag var förblindad av att solen sken så stark
Men mina ögon kommer alltid le mot Dig
Kan det begäras mer av mig
Himlen är oskyldigt blå
Djupaste hav likaså
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör
Det rår inte stjärnorna för
Äskling jag vet hur det känns
När broar till tryggheten bränns
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå
Himlen så oskyldigt blå

The sky is innocently blue
Like eyes of children so small
That raindrops are falling like tears from the eye
Can't be blamed on the stars
Darling, I know how it feels
When bridges to safety's aflame
Though time has chased us into corners dark
The sky is innocently blue
When we grew up
Life was joyful, we were eternity's hope
It was so obvious that our future should be
Unclaimed and free
Summers passed us by
The earth was heating our feet as we ran
The rye was swaying and the grass was grown and green
The whole of life was so nice.
The sky is innocently blue
Like eyes of children so small
That raindrops are falling like tears from the eye
Can't be blamed on the stars
Darling, I know how it feels
When bridges to safety's aflame
Though time has chased us into corners dark
The sky is innocently blue
Frozen on a beach
We flew kites while the the time was flowing by
We were children that no evil could reach
The sky was so blue
The clouds are gaining ground
I'm emblinded by the sun's so strong shine
But my eyes will always smile to you
Can more be asked of me
The sky is innocently blue
The deepest of oceans as well
That raindrops are falling like tears from the eye
Can't be blamed on the stars
Darling, I know how it feels
When bridges to safety's aflame
Though time has chased us into corners dark
The sky is innocently blue
could anybody translate it for me or tell me where I can find a translation.. I'm Dutch, so I don't understand any of it. I can sing along, but it's nice to know what it is that you sing..
Thanks already!

Well - It's really difficult to translate this kind of songs, because it's like poetry. This song has actually an english version - the name of that song is "Blue Virgin Isles" - the meanpoint in both songs are like looking back to their innocent childhood .... the song is telling a story about sweet childmemories.

The sky is innocent blue
like eyes of little children
That raindrops are falling like tears can not the stars be blamed for
Darling I know how it feels when bridges to security are burning
Though the time has chased us in a corner the sky is still so innocent blue When we growed up and played and lived we were the hope of eternity
Our future was obvious free
Summers come and went and the earth warmed our feets when we ran
The rye swayed and the grass was green
The life was so sweet
