Lyrics and translation Anne Linnet - Nattog

Nattog

Nattog,
Øde og, og næsten helt forladt,
Nattog,
Herinde midt i mørket, ja,
Der ka' vi måske pludselig se,
Alt det man ellers aldrig ser,
Og mærke det der virkelig sker og virkelig er,
Et nattog kører forbi.

Der er lys der glimter,
Alle andre sover,
Ingen synes at bemærke
Evigheden rækker ud og gi'r sig selv
Et øjeblik til dem som ikke bare snuer,
I drømmene og i bøger,
Men kigger hvor vi er,
Metal mod metal.

Nattog, ja ja,
Ligger sammen i et nattog, ja ja,
Alle andre sover,
I vores verden er der kun metal og metal.

Nattog, ja ja,
Vi ligger tæt sammen i et nattog,
Alle andre sover,
Vi ligger her og ser,
Alt det man ellers aldrig ser,
Og mærker det der virkelig sker,
Det der virkelig er,
Et nattog kører forbi.

Udenfor er der lys der glimter,
Af og til, som spots og månen
Som en kæmpe tangokugle langt derude,
Et sted blandt stjernerne,
Men de jo flere millioner lysår væk,
Vi er lige her og nu,
Knib dig selv i armen,
Eller mig, aaauuuw,
Metal mod metal.

Vi ligger tæt sammen i et nattog.

He, metal mod metal, ja ja,
I et natog,
Herinde midt i mørket, ja ja,
Her er alting øde og,
Sort og næsten helt forladt, ja ja,
Ligger i et nattog,
Dybt inde i natten,
Alle mørkets magter viger,
Store tunge hjul der skriger,
Imod skinner, lyden af metal,
Og ingen her der siger, hvad vi skal, og ikke skal, og ikke må,
Et nattog kører forbi.

Vi ligger tæt sammen i et nattog,
Vi elsker i et nattog,
Alle andre sover, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja.

Vi ligger i et nattog.

Lyden af metal mod metal mod metal,
Vi ligger sammen i et nattog, ja ja,
Vi ligger tæt sammen i et nattog, ja ja,
Metal mod metal mod metal, metal, ja ja,
Ja ja,
Tsch tsch tsch tsch tsch-tsch, ja ja
Ja ja,
Mmmm, et nattog kører forbi,
Et nattog kører forbi, ja ja,
Et nattog kører forbi, ja ja,
Et nattog kører forbi...

Night Train

Night train,
Deserted and almost completely abandoned,
Night train,
Here in the middle of the darkness, yes,
Where perhaps we suddenly can see,
Everything one otherwise never sees,
And feel what really happens and really is,
A night train passes by.

There is light that flickers,
Everyone else is sleeping,
No one seems to notice
Eternity reaches out and gives itself up
A moment for those who don't just snooze,
In dreams and in books,
But look where we are,
Metal against metal.

Night train, yes yes,
Lying together on a night train, yes yes,
Everyone else is sleeping,
In our world there is only metal and metal.

Night train, yes yes,
We are lying close together on a night train,
Everyone else is sleeping,
We lie here and see,
Everything one otherwise never sees,
And we feel what really happens,
What really is,
A night train passes by.

Outside there is light that flickers,
From time to time, like spotlights and the moon
Like a giant disco ball far out there,
Somewhere among the stars,
But they're millions of light-years away,
We are right here and now,
Pinch yourself on the arm,
Or me, aaauuuw,
Metal against metal.

We are lying close together on a night train.

Hey, metal against metal, yes yes,
On a night train,
Here in the middle of the darkness, yes yes,
Everything here is deserted and,
Black and almost completely abandoned, yes yes,
Lying on a night train,
Deep in the night,
All the powers of darkness recede,
Big, heavy wheels that scream,
Against the rails, the sound of metal,
And no one here to tell us what we can and can't and mustn't do,
A night train passes by.

We are lying close together on a night train,
We are making love on a night train,
Everyone else is sleeping, yes-yes, yes-yes, yes-yes, yes-yes, yes-yes.

We are lying on a night train.

The sound of metal against metal against metal,
We are lying together on a night train, yes yes,
We are lying close together on a night train, yes yes,
Metal against metal against metal, metal, yes yes,
Yes yes,
Tsch tsch tsch tsch tsch-tsch, yes yes
Yes yes,
Mmmm, a night train passes by,
A night train passes by, yes yes,
A night train passes by, yes yes,
A night train passes by...
