Kent - Klåparen
du gr p ditt oefterhrmliga stt
ver skolgrdens grus fr dig sjlv
i ditt nyklippta hr likt en irlndsk idols
din spegelbild i fnsterglas
beundrar varje steg du tar
och s blinkar det till
grna rda gula ljus
du var p nlar nr du kom
med ditt insmugglade rus
och s slcker dom ner
fr en sista stilla chans
och allting svartnar i panik
nr du ser att alla redan har en dans
och allt r som frut
du minns den du var med frakt, lite hat
man blir lik sin mor eller far
du har frndrat ditt stt, suddat ut varje spr
men i sjlen din
ja lngt lngt in Kent - Klåparen - http://motolyrics.com/kent/klaparen-lyrics-english-translation.html
ekar tonringens vrl
och s blinkar det till
och dom tnder alla ljus
du var ensam nr du kom
nu har magin brunnit ut
och s slcker dom ner
alla skyltar alla ljus
och nr parken ligger tom inser du
att din kvll just tagit slut
och allt r som frut
och s blinkar det till
och dom tnder alla ljus
du var ensam nr du kom
du r lika ensam nu
och s slcker dom ner alla gator alla hus
och nr staden ligger tom inser du
att det r s ditt liv ser ut
och allting r som frut
Kent - The Bungler (English translation)
You walk in your inimitable way
across the gravel of the school yard on your own
with your newly cut hair like an irish idol.
Your reflection in the window glass
admires every step you take.
And then it indicates
green, red, yellow light.
You were on pins when you came
with your smuggled rapture.
And then they shut down for a last silent chance,
and everything blackens in panic when you see that everybody already has a dance,
and everything is like before.
And your recall who you were with contempt, a bit of hate,
and one becomes like one's mum or dad.
You have changed your style, erased every trace.
But deep, deep down in your soul echoes the wail of a two-year-old.
And then it flashes.Kent - Klåparen - http://motolyrics.com/kent/klaparen-lyrics-english-translation.html
And they switch on all lights,
and you were lonely when you came, now the magic has burned out.
And then they shut down...
Everybody puts out all light.
And when the park is empty, you realize that your evening has just ended,
and everything is like before.
And then it flashes...
And they switch on all lights,
and you were lonely when you came,
and you are just as lonely now.
And then shut down all streets, all houses,
and when the city is empty, you realize
that this is how your life is,
and everything is as before.
