If Only As A Ghost - Jonas Alaska

Hoy he escogido algo tranquilo : Jonas Aslaksen (nacido en Åmli , Aust-Agder , Noruega el 3 de abril de 1988), más conocido por su nombre artístico Jonas Alaska ,  cantante y compositor. Él es el hermano de Thomas Aslaksen.

Estudió música en el Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts . Tocó la batería en la banda de Dalton por un tiempo. Lanzó su album homónimo  Jonas Alaska con gran acogida, alcanzando el puesto  5 en la VG-Lista , la lista oficial de Álbumes noruegos. Fue nominado a tres categorías en el 2011 Spellemannprisen por "Mejor compositor", "Mejor Artista Masculino" y "Mejor Artista Revelación del Año". También actuó en festivales como Øyafestivalen , Slottsfjellfestivalen y por: Larm todos en 2011.

El tema elegido para hoy se titula If Only As A Ghost, incluido en su ábum con el mismo nombre. Si alguien se brinda a traducirla, será bien recibida. No la encontré por la red.

Could you please come back to me

If only as a ghost

I might not be alone in grief,

But I need you most

You're not just my older brother

You're my best friend

I never got to tell you that

So please come back again

My sweet wife is sleeping now

And so is my new-born son

I wish you could be with me

As my life just begun

You should see him lying there

He looks just like me

But I sure hope that it is you

That he grows up to be

The day you died

I thought that I was gonna die as well

Everything was shaking

And my life turned to hell

I'm telling you I'm happy that a son was born to me

'Cause sometimes I can't bear the thought

That you're not here to see

Momma, pops, the rest of the bunch

And all our good friends too

We're riding on a swimming horse

And we still talk of you

But in the nights when I'm alone

I think about before

When I was throwing magazines

At you – because you snored

I dream about our arguments

I dream about our love

I can't stand people telling me

You're watching from above

It's given me no comfort thinking

God is now your host

Cause I'm the one who needs you here

If only as a ghost
