Background information about the song:
Beatrice has just composed herself after having survived the attempt to blow herself up, and having saved herself from the flames with the help of her seven buckets of tears. She takes up the hunt after father and daughter, who have now been on the run for seven years. Huge forces are at work, she is like a fury, and storms come up wherever she goes. Kenneth is told by Cecilia that Beatrice is on their track, and so he must remain in constant motion and always try to stay a step ahead. Kenneth fears what Beatrice might do with him if she finds them, and hopes that he can tie Violeta so strongly to him that she will stand up against her mother on his behalf if she were suddenly to stand before them, like a devil, in her burnt wedding dress.
Støv og sand | Dust and sand |
Det går en liten jævel rundt og spør seg fram | There's a little devil going around, asking her way |
Om nogen har sett hennes eks av en mann | Whether anyone has seen her ex of a man |
Det kommer røyk ut av kjeften, det er blod på tann | There's smoke coming out of her mouth, there's blood on her tooth |
Og når hu går, legger hu bak seg ei sky av støv og sand | And when she walks, she leaves a cloud of dust and sand behind |
Rett bak deg er det støv og sand | Right behind you there is dust and sand |
Om det som står av profetier inni Bibelen er sant | If all that is written about prophecies in the bible is true |
kan det virke som om han der nere har ett og aent på gang | it might seem as if he down there has one or two things going on |
Du skal kjenne han igjen, enten det er kvinne eller mann | You will recognize him, whether it's a woman or man |
når han stiger ut i ei sky av støv og sand | when he steps out in a cloud of dust and sand |
Rett bak deg er det støv og sand | Right behind you there is dust and sand |
Det er hull i min kalender, og min trailer har full tank | There are gaps in my calendar, and my trailer has a full tank |
Eg ser ikkje bak meg lenger. Lever nå, og tenker fram | I don't look behind me anymore. Live now, and think ahead |
Kom kom kom an BB. Kom kom kom an | Come come come on BB. Come come come on |
Eg skal regna på deg og ditt støv og din sand | I will count on you and your dust and your sand |
Rett bak deg er det støv og sand | Right behind you there is dust and sand |
