Paroles et traduction Djämes Braun - Dem Vi Var

Dem Vi Var

Sen sommer i starten af 1.g
Historietimen jeg havde lige røget et G
Skidt knægt med en god karakterbog
Eller jeg mener, det kommer vel an på hvordan man ser på 'et
Stor flok leger bål nede på stranden
Kølet pilsner under vandet, siger dig der var mange
Ubekymret stil, dage blev til nætter
Hånd i hånd med min pige, se hvordan vi letter

Og der var nogen, der klarede den
For andre endte det i et mareridt
Og nogen fik et godt job i farten
Men vi har været i bowlen fra starten, baby

Hvad mon der forsvinder
Tager mig tættere på dengang
Jeg var teenager, langhåret skater
Der hvor vi stod på gaden og hang
Det var dem vi var

Halbal, jeg havde lige snavet en pige i knæ
Men hendes fyr, han var ikke så nede med det
Ja, det var dumt, men man kan altid være bagklog
Så jeg snakkede mig ude af et kæmpestort slagsmål
Videre til byen, smider os ind på et diskotek
16 år, men vi havde jo et falsk ID
Smuglede sprut ind og delte det med venner
Hellere være broke end at være jetsetter

Og der var nogen, der klarede den
For andre endte det i et mareridt
Og nogen fik et godt job i farten
Men vi har været i bowlen fra starten, baby

Hvad mon der forsvinder
Tager mig tættere på dengang
Jeg var teenager, langhåret skater
Der hvor vi stod på gaden og hang
Det var dem vi var

Jeg ved, at du kender det
Fra den tid, hvor du var teenager og hang ud med vennerne
Dit eneste problem det var lektier
Mor og far lavede mad, imens at du så fleischer
Og ja, du troede, at livet det var hårdt
Men så blev du 18 år og fik et girokort
Eyeåbner, blev voksen og fik et voksenjob
Det ku' de godt ha' sagt, der hvor du voksed' op

Så meget vand er løbet under broen
Der var så meget man ik' forstod
Men jeg vil ik' bytte det for noget
Alle billederne i mit hoved

Hvad mon der forsvinder
Tager mig tættere på dengang
Jeg var teenager, langhåret skater
Der hvor vi stod på gaden og hang
Det var dem vi var

What We Were

That summer at the start of 1st grade
History class, I had just smoked a G
Naughty kid with good grades
Or I mean, it depends on how you look at 'a great
Big group playing bonfire on the beach
Cold beer under the water, tells you there were many
Carefree style, days turned into nights
Hand in hand with my girl, see how we lift off

And there were some who made it
For others, it ended up a nightmare
And some got a good job in no time
But we've been in the game from the start, baby

What is it that's disappearing
Taking me closer to back then
I was a teenager, long-haired skater
Where we stood on the street and hung out
That's who we were

Half drunk, I had just kissed a girl on the couch
But her boyfriend, he wasn't so cool with it
Yeah, it was stupid, but you can always be hindsight
So I talked my way out of a huge fight
On to the city, throwing ourselves into a nightclub
16 years old, but we had fake IDs
Smuggled booze in and shared it with friends
Rather be broke than a jetsetter

And there were some who made it
For others, it ended up a nightmare
And some got a good job in no time
But we've been in the game from the start, baby

What is it that's disappearing
Taking me closer to back then
I was a teenager, long-haired skater
Where we stood on the street and hung out
That's who we were

I know you know it
From when you were a teenager and hung out with your friends
Your only problem was homework
Mom and dad cooked dinner while you watched Fleischer
And yeah, you thought life was tough
But then you turned 18 and got a paycheck
Eye-opener, grew up and got a grown-up job
They could have told you that where you grew up

So much water has flowed under the bridge
There was so much that I didn't understand
But I wouldn't trade it for anything
All the pictures in my head

What is it that's disappearing
Taking me closer to back then
I was a teenager, long-haired skater
Where we stood on the street and hung out
That's who we were
