Background information about the song:
Beatrice raises her daughter Violeta and transfers her life's wisdom to her: All that you can dream can also happen. You don't have to accept all limits that you meet in life, but you should rather search for new openings and opportunities, and be guided by your heart. Beatrice has qualities and talents surpassing those of ordinary men, and she's sure that her daughter inherited these special qualities. And so she wants to help her use her talents instead of fearing and suppressing them, like the father Kenneth wants her to. He kidnapped his own daughter and is on the run with her in the wide world, just to avoid Violeta becoming like her mother. Beatrice is balancing between being mentally sound and ill. She's hallucinating, and sometimes she thinks that she hears someone ringing at the door. She knows that's not real, but nevertheless she's asking: Is it you? Come in and get yourself some coffee...

Når du har brutt alle reglar som bryta går | When you broke all the rules that can be broken |
Og du har slikt av dine sår | And you have licked your wounds |
Og det er verken din anger eller pasjon som rår | And it is neither your remorse nor your passion that reigns |
Kem sitter du igjen med då? | Who are you left with then |
La det vara | Let it be |
Når det er slutt på en sesong | When a season has ended |
Når det er tomt i min kartong | When my carton is empty |

Du og meg i en sang | You and me in a song |
Prøv og grav ner, prøv og grav ner dine hemmelighetar | Try to bury your secrets |
Alt du vil at ingen andre skal veta | All that you don't want anybody else to know |
Og det går år før det du sår kan voksa | And it will take years before what you sow can grow |
Prøv å hold ut for meg då | Try to hang on for me |
Du vett, alt du kan drømma, alt det kan henda | You know that all you can dream can happen |
Akkurat som alt som er vakkert kan brenna | Just like everything that is beautiful can burn |
Og mens ingenting hender, kan du ingenting gjera | And while nothing happens, you can do nothing |
Du må bare la det vara | You just have to let it be |
Ding dong | Ding dong |
Kem er det som banker på nå? Er det du? | Who is knocking now? Is it you? |
Kom inn og få deg litt | Come in and get yourself some |
kaffi | coffee |
