LIBRETTO (original version in Danish)
Ene, alene
Ensom (ensom)
Ene, alene (ene)
Ensom, åh
At være del af noget
fri til at gøre, være, det jeg vil og føler mig forstået.
Tør mere når nogen har min ryg
Åh, mit hjerte vokser med tid kærligheden fylder størst.
Det mærkes virkelig tydeligt når den ikke er der…
Så lidt skal der til for at spolere det.
Tag det ikke for givet.
En gruppe er ikke stærkere end det svageste led,
det svageste led er ikke,
ikke en person,
men ledet imellem, uh (men ledet imellem)
Ikke alene?
Ikke alene!
Det er vildt vigtigt
Virkeligt
Kan mærke det at være fysisk sammen,
Det gør mig super!
Superglad!
Kan mærke det at være ønsket,
at føle sig elsket,
have indflydelse
at betyde noget for andre
og ikke kun er ved sig selv!
En del af noget større,
At høre til,
At klinge i kor og stemme i,
Hvert hjerte i en sang
Hjerter i en klang.
At vokse sammen og ikke alene.
Åh, aldrig alene.
Ikke bange,
men bange for det,
for det.
Ah!
Alle familier der er blevet brudt op
alle dem der er blevet såret
alle der har mistet.
Mistet livet, hinanden og det.
Mit hjerte skær
Del af noget større
at høre til
at stå sammen
At stemme i
At klinge i kor:
Og ikke tage det for givet
At ville hinanden og verden vi deler
I tiden vi sammen vokser
Kærligheden fylder størst.
Kærligheden må fylde størst.

LIBRETTO (English translation)
To grow together
Lyrics by Sankt Annæ Pigekor, Agnete Hannibal Petri & Lil Lacy
Composition by Lil Lacy
Solo, Alone
Lonely (lonely)
Solo, alone solo
Lonely, oh
To be part of something
free to do, be, what I want and feel understood.
Dare more when someone has my back
Oh, my heart grows with time love fills the most.
This is really noticeably felt when it's not there...
So little is needed to spoil it.
Don't take it for granted.
A group is not stronger than the weakest link,
the weakest link is not,
not one person
but the link in between, uh (but the link in between)
Not alone?
Not alone!
It is wildly important
Really
Can feel it being physically together,
It makes me super!
Super happy!
Can feel the feeling of being wanted,
feeling loved,
having influence
to mean something to others
and is not only by oneself!
To be part of something bigger,
To belong
To sound in chorus and join in,
Every heart in one song
Hearts in unison.
To grow together and not alone.
Oh, never alone.
Not afraid,
but afraid of this,
of that.
Ah!
All the families that have been broken up
all those who have been hurt
all who have lost.
Lost life, each other and this.
My heart aches
Part of something bigger
to belong to
to stand together
To join in
To sound in chorus:
And not take it for granted
To want to love each other and the world we share
In time we grow together
Love fills the most.
Love must fill the most
