Текст и перевод песни Anne Linnet - Den Nye Ejer

Den Nye Ejer

Nu er han gået
Og mit sind er tømt
For gamle klager
Og for slidte ord
Det hele er kun noget vi har drømt
Og der gror ingen tanker i dets spor

Uvrdigt var det liv vi førte her
Luvsligt er vanens lille grå tyran
Vi vidste begge vi var bedre værd
Men hang dog sammen uden mål og plan
Indtil vi ikke mere var i stand til et skænderi
Da hver sårbar plet lå blottet som en nerve i en tand
Hvor det at skilles kun var alt for let

Nu er han gået og et nederlag
Er fuldbragt og forsejlet og gemt ned
Og alle stjerner synker mod en dag
Der venter mig med ubrudt ensomhed
Jeg savner ingenting men denne nat
Begræder jeg at der er intet savn
Jeg er en bolig nogen har forladt
Snart hvisker jeg den nye ejers navn

The New Owner

Now you're gone
And my mind is empty
Of old complaints
And of worn-out words
It was all just something we dreamed
And there are no thoughts growing in its tracks

Undignified was the life we led here
Habit's little gray tyrant is lovely
We both knew we were worth better
But still hung together without aim or plan
Until we could no longer stand an argument
When every vulnerable spot was exposed like a nerve in a tooth
Where it was all too easy to part ways

Now you're gone and a defeat
Is accomplished and sealed and hidden away
And all the stars are sinking towards a day
That awaits me with unbroken loneliness
I miss nothing but on this one night
I mourn that there is no longing
I am a dwelling someone has left
Soon I will whisper the new owner's name
