Daj

Give

Give what won’t make you poorer, so that you give as much as you can
Give what clearly none wanted to give before
Give what will redden my eyes and tickle my heart
Give what I want from you and not from others.
 
Give me that place in the palm of your hand that no-one kisses1
Give what is left after him, the one you regret
Give me that place on your face where you ran out of lipstick
That is completely enough for me, I will turn this into love.
 
Give, give on a blue-sky morning, give on a long evening
Give, after all you can change your mind later
Give what I won’t give back again, give straight into my hands
Give what won’t make you poorer, however much I take.2
 
Give me that place next to you that you look at by night
Let yourself be helped sometimes, even if you don’t want help
Give me that place next to you that is empty at dawn
I will make it into a long, interesting life for myself.
 
Give me that place next to you that is empty at dawn
I will make it into a long, interesting life for myself.
 
Give me that place next to you!
Give me that place next to you!

  • 2. lit. ‘even if I take the most’

Thank you! The lyrics seems simple, but few lines suddenly turned out to be unclear to me.
