Just a quick comment here:
Thanks for all your comment. I approve them as I see them in my admin board. The lyrics in English are not my work, but I’m grateful to everyone who’s helping me with this.
Thank you and enjoy the song and the movie.

My mum told me about this song she had heard – that I just had to listen to.
It’s called Gabriellas Sång (Gabriellas Song) from the Movie “Så som i himmelen ” (English title “As it is in heaven). I haven’t seen this movie, but the song is really beautiful. You can find the same clip on youtube with English lyrics if you prefer that. Just search for Gabriellas Song.
Det är nu som livet är mitt
Jag har fått en stund här på jorden
Och min längtan har fört mig hit
Det jag saknat och det jag fåttDet är ändå vägen jag valt
Min förtröstan långt bortom orden
Som har visat en liten bit
Av den himmel jag aldrig nått
Jag vill känna att jag lever
All den tid jag har
Ska jag leva som jag vill
Jag vill känna att jag lever
Veta att jag räcker till
Jag har aldrig glömt vem jag var
Jag har bara låtit det sova
Kanske hade jag inget val
Bara viljan att finnas kvar
Jag vill leva lycklig för att jag är jag
Kunna vara stark och fri
Se hur natten går mot dag
Jag är här och mitt liv är bara mitt
Och den himmel jag trodde fanns
Ska jag hitta där nånstans
Jag vill känna att jag levt mitt liv

Here is the English translation from the subtitles in the movie: It is now that my life is mine
i’ve got a short time on earth
and my longing has brought me here
all i’ve lacked and all i’ve gained
And yet it’s the way I chose My trust was far beyond words That has shown me little bit Of the heaven i’ve never found i want to feel that I’m alive all my living days I will live as I desire i want to feel that I’m alive knowing I was good enough
Voice chorus
I have never lost who I was I only left it sleeping Maybe I never had a choice Just the will to stay alive
All I want is to be happy Being who I am To be strong and to be free To see day arise from night I am here And my life is only mine And the heaven I thought was there I’ll discover it there somewhere
I want to feel That I lived my life

Heres the lyrics everyone:
Now my life is mune Ive had a while on earth And my longings have lead me here. What I’ve misses and what I’ve been given
This is tha way I’ve chosen My comfort above words That showed me A bit of the sky I never saw
I want to feel alive For every moment I have I will live as I want I wanna feel alive Knowing im good enough
I never forgot who I were Just put it to sleep Maybe I didnt have a choice Just the guts that still is in me
I wanna live happily for who I am And be strong and free See the night become day And the heaven I thought excisted Im gonna finf it somewhere
I want to feel Ive lived my life.

Well Galathriel – the english translation is already here if you scroll down on the comments. It’s a bit bad translation, but it’s something I found on the net. So you can check to see if it’s similar to what you’ve written

lyrics translated to english:
It is now that my life is mine i’ve been given a time here on earth and my longing has brought me here what i’ve missed and what i’ve gained
it is the road i’ve chosen ??? which has shown a small part of heaven i’ve never reached
i want to feel that i live all this time i have i will live as i wish i want to feel that i live know that i’m enough (oh, oh, oh…)
i never forgot who i was i simply let it sleep perhaps i had no choice only the will to be
i want to live happy because i am me be strong and free see how night becomes day
i am here and my life is only mine and the heaven i though was real i will find out there somewhere
i want to feel like i’ve lived my life
i’m not swedish, hence the “???”… i simply just don’t understand it

I watched this movie only this weekend! I had to watch it twice straight after each other. I am so moved by this…I went through a horrible break-up Friday and this song are pulling me through, giving me hope and making me want to lift my head and start running again….runnning toward LIFE! I think Daniel makes the movie moving….he’s calm, he’s mystery and the hope his music gives…

What a bit of heaven. This song made me cry. Went to watch it today at the VA Waterfront. At the end of the movie, the audience sat DEAD quiet. Gosh, getting tearing just thinking about it. What makes the movie so moving?

This is a very beautiful song. Yes I would appreciate if someone can email me the english lyrics at althea@lantic.net. gys Els, I assume you are South African by your desire to translate to Afrikaans. I am also a South African. Thank-you

thankyou

Btw – you can listen to the whole song in the clip.. it doesn’t start at the 2nd verse. When you see the singer it’s at the 2nd verse, but the first starts in the “movie” before that

I am also looking for the lyrics in English. In the clip it only starts at the second verse. I would be very grateful if a Swedish person can send it to me at gels@mweb.co.za. I will traslate into Afrikaans if anybody would be interested. Thnk you. Gys Els
