Lyrics and translation Simon Moholt - Utkanten av byen




Utkanten av byen
On the outskirts of town
utkanten av byen bor han
On the outskirts of town he lives
Der ingen kommer i fra
Where no one comes from
Tidlig forsto hver nordmann
Every Norwegian understood early on
Det er ingen poeng dra dra, dø,
There's no point in leaving, dying, dying,
Der, der han bor nyter de ikke mat
There, where he lives, they don't enjoy food
Fluen hører ikke en løyn, det ikke som før
The fly is not a rumor, it's not like before
Det finnes ikke søvn ikke tid for prat
There is no sleep, no time for talk
Han er rødøyd og øver gehør det er
He is red-eyed and practicing by ear, that's
Religion til dagen han dør
Religion until the day he dies
Men det er ikke lønn for det blodet han blør
But it's not a reward for the blood he bleeds
Det er en bøddel en drøm og demonene i skapet
It's a hangman, a dream and the demons in the closet
Demonter skapet, demoene i skapet
Disassemble the closet, the demos in the closet
Visker han i øret at det snart er for sent
Whispering in his ear that it's almost too late
Han hater det han får høre, men han tar det passe pent
He hates what he hears, but he takes it fairly well
Han tar glass rent, u utblandet
He takes a clean glass, u undiluted
Han clean kar, u utdannet
He is a clean guy, u uneducated
Han slo ut tanna framtida brant sine broer
He knocked out the future's tooth and burned his bridges
Og mamma ble forbanna, men hun er en god troer
And Mama got mad, but she's a good believer
Det vil bra til slutt alt ender i lykke
It'll turn out all right in the end, everything ends in happiness
Husk dette gutt, men det at du dør det er bytte
Remember this, boy, but that you die is barter
Du er bytte, du dør du er lykke du er
You are prey, you die you are happy you are
Bytte, før du er lykke du
Prey, before you are happy you must
Bytte, hør du er lykke det er
Trade, listen you are happy it is
Bytte, bytte han jakter lykke det er
Trade, trade he is chasing happiness that is
Bytte i sakte film ser du han flytte
Prey in slow motion you see him move
Alle sine ting til en falleferdig forlatt hytte
All his things to a dilapidated abandoned cottage
Ordene bytter mening om flytter dem
The words change their meaning if they move them
Han bor yters friheten og han ytrer den
He lives on the outside of freedom and he expresses it
Beskytter den som martyren han er
Protecting it as the martyr that he is
Han frykter ikke flammen som føniksens fjær
He does not fear the flame like the phoenix's feather
Han bryter ikke sammen selv om dommedag er nær
He does not break down even though Judgment Day is near
Han kysser ikke leppene til djevelens begjær
He does not kiss the lips of the devil's desire
For gutta starta fra bakken og er her
For the boys started from the bottom and are here
Gutta starta fra bakken og er her
The boys started from the bottom and are here
Gutta starta fra bakken og er her
The boys started from the bottom and are here
Gutta som starta det for takken sin her
The guys who started it for their thank you here
Han putter en finger opp for han er den enste der
He puts up a finger for he is the only one there
Han putter to fingere for pac er nær
He puts two fingers on for Pac is near
Tre fingre opp for Kendricks makten er her
Three fingers up for Kendrick's power is here
Fire finger opp for du putte tid det her
Four fingers up for you have to put time in this here
Ja jeg husker det godt akkurat som i går
Yes I remember it well like it was yesterday
Du hadde blå øyne og blondt hår
You had blue eyes and blond hair
Du hadde mystikk og du hadde masse
You had mysticism and you had a lot
Du hadde ansikt og du hadde maske
You had a face and you had a mask
Og du sa en dag skal vi to bli tre
And you said one day we two shall be three
Men fire fem sekundere var sex viktigere
But four five seconds sex was more important
Syvende himmel og åtte trapper ned
Seventh heaven and eight steps down
Ni av ti ville sagt det var over med det
Nine out of ten would have said it was over with that
Men utkanten av byen bor han
But on the outskirts of town he lives
Der ingen kommer i fra
Where no one comes from
Tidlig forsto hver nordmann
Every Norwegian understood early on
Det er ingen poeng dra
There's no point in leaving
