Christine Guldbrandsen - Dove lyrics

Quis dabit mihi

pinnas columbae

ut requiescam

ut procul abeam

et commorer

in deserto semper

You saw how I closed

my eyes to tears

and closed my heart to love;

you opened wide my prison

released me.

You are the gentle air

that holds me up,

a dove set free,

I play in your love.

You are the wind that

blows me free of care,

a dove set free

I play in your love.

(english translation)

[If I had

the wings of a dove

I would be at peace

and always stay

far away

in the wilderness]
