Paroles et traduction Birthe Kjær - Den Gamle Tennessee Waltz

Den Gamle Tennessee Waltz

Det var forår, vi var unge
Og de spilled' Tennessee Walt,
Til den fest, hvor jeg først, mødte dig.

Du imponered', da vi dansed', og med et,
Der ku' jeg mærke,
At Amors vilde pil, ramte mig.

Og vi to, svæved afsted,
Til den gamle Tennesse Waltz,
Mens du sagd', jeg var den, du ville ha'.
Med et kys på, mine læber,
Med din arm om min hals,
Dansed' vi, til den gamle Tennessee Walt.

Men du rejste, dagen efter,
Og i flere år var du borte,
Så jeg jeg tro'de, at alt var forbi.
Men så i aftes, løb jeg på dig,
I en café, hvor de spilled', den sang,
Som vi begge ku' li'.

Og vi to, svæved afsted,
Til den gamle Tennesse Waltz,
Mens du sagd', jeg var den, du ville ha'.
Med et kys på, mine læber,
Med din arm om min hals,
Dansed' vi, til den gamle Tennessee Walt.
Jeg husker, at vi dansed',
Til den gamle Tennessee Walt.
Dansed' vi, til den gamle Tennessee Walt.

The Old Tennessee Waltz

It was spring, we were young
And they played the Tennessee Waltz,
At the party where I first met you.

You impressed me when we danced, and with a,
I could feel it,
That Cupid's wild arrow hit me.

And the two of us, we floated along,
To the old Tennessee Waltz,
While you said, I was the one you wanted.
With a kiss on my lips,
With your arm around my neck,
We danced to the old Tennessee Waltz.

But you left the next day,
And for years you were gone,
So I thought everything was over.
But then last night, I ran into you,
In a cafe, where they played the song,
That we both liked.

And the two of us, we floated along,
To the old Tennessee Waltz,
While you said, I was the one you wanted.
With a kiss on my lips,
With your arm around my neck,
We danced to the old Tennessee Waltz.
I remember we danced,
To the old Tennessee Waltz.
We danced to the old Tennessee Waltz.
