Lyrics and translation Gaute Ormåsen - Tempo Corvette

Tempo Corvette

Hjemmefester, lange netter,
Raidet barskapet til far.
Ingen visste hvor vi var.

Kjøpte TV til gutterommet,
Vi så Baywatch, Carl & Co.
Hele verden var oss to.

Og du lot deg ikke lure av en fyr på tre-og-tjue
Sjøl om han hadde bil.
Og vi visste ikke mye om hva livet skulle by på
Åssen det skulle bli.

For i de gatene var livet så lett, i 1999
På hver fest var vi.
Du satt bak meg på min Tempo Corvette
Vi drakk øl til musikk på kassett
Og alt var så lett.

Livet skjedde, vi ble eldre
Og jeg ble en annen kar
Mens du ble igjen i dal′n

Ja, jeg ser du lot deg lure av han fyr'n på tre-og-tjue
Det var han som hadde bil
Nei, vi visste ikke mye om hva livet skulle by på
Hvordan det skulle bli

For i de gatene var livet så lett, i 1999
På hver fest var vi.
Du satt bak meg på min Tempo Corvette
Vi drakk øl til musikk på kassett
Og alt var så lett.

Åhhhhha åhhhha åha åhaaaa
Og alt var så lett
Åhhhhha åhhhha åha åhaaaa

Instrumental

For i de gatene var livet så lett, i 1999
På hver fest var vi.
Du satt bak meg på min Tempo Corvette
Vi drakk øl til musikk på kassett
Og alt var så lett.

Åhhhhha åhhhha åha åhaaaa
Og alt var så lett
Åhhhhha åhhhha åha åhaaaa

Tempo Corvette

Home parties, long nights,
Raided the bar my father hid.
No one knew where we were.

Bought a TV for my boys' room,
We watched Baywatch, Carl & Co.
The whole world was just for us two.

And you didn't fall for some guy at twenty-three,
Even though he had a car.
And we didn't know much about what life had in store,
How it was going to be.

For in those streets life was so easy, in 1999,
We were at every party.
You sat behind me on my Tempo Corvette
We drank beer to cassette music
And everything was so easy.

Life happened, we got older
And I became a different man,
While you stayed in the valley

Yes, I see you fell for that guy at twenty-three,
He was the one with a car.
No, we didn't know much about what life had in store,
How it was going to be.

For in those streets life was so easy, in 1999,
We were at every party.
You sat behind me on my Tempo Corvette
We drank beer to music on cassette
And everything was so easy.

And everything was so easy
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

For in those streets life was so easy, in 1999,
We were at every party.
You sat behind me on my Tempo Corvette
We drank beer to music on cassette
And everything was so easy.

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
And everything was so easy
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
