Текст и перевод песни Danser Med Drenge - De dygtige drenge

De dygtige drenge

Jeg husker de dygtige drenge
Hvor fint & naturligt de sad
Helt oppe foran med fingrene oppe
De gjorde altid læreren glad
Og de var så gode til alting
De havde det hele med hjemmefra
Når jeg blev spurgt, ku′ jeg aldrig svare
For dem var det nemt nok - de kunne det bare
Det eneste jeg ville var at være som dem
Håbed' jeg ku′ blive deres bedste ven
Men der er ingen mennesker, der vil ha' dig nær
Så længe du selv tror, at du er mindre værd
End de dygtige drenge ...
De trofaste små soldater
Trådte aldrig ved siden af
De holdt altid med de rigtige - og de led
Aldrig et nederlag
Lidt efter lidt forstod jeg
At jeg var ikke så lærenem
Skæbnen ville, at jeg aldrig kunne
Leve op til dem
Det eneste jeg ville, var at være som dem
Håbed' jeg ku′ blive deres bedste ven
Men der er ingen mennesker, der vil ha′ dig nær
Så længe du selv tror, at du er mindre værd
End de dygtige drenge ...
Så jeg blev vred på de dygtige drenge
Fordi de altid havde ret
Lærte at hade alt hvad de stod for
Blev bare modsat
Jeg bygged mit eget forsvar op
For at overleve selv
Jeg gik op imod systemet
Der var intet at tabe alligevel
Jeg gik imod alle regler
Imod alle reglerne, de kendte så godt
Jeg gik imod alle ord
Imod alle ord, som de beherskede flot
Jeg gik imod alle bøger
Imod alle bøgerne, de ku' udenad
Imod alt det, de ku′
Imod alt det, de ku' - det var ligegyldigt hvad
Var der en person, som de ikke ku′ li'
Så fik han al min støtte og min sympati
Jeg gik helt solo - ville være helt fri
Så det var lysende klart, at jeg aldrig ku′ bli'
Som de dygtige drenge ...
Det eneste jeg ville var at være som dem
Håbed' jeg ku′ blive deres bedste ven
Men der er ingen mennesker, der vil ha′ dig nær
Så længe du selv tror, at du er mindre værd
End de dygtige drenge ...
Vi mødtes ved jubilæet
Og vi fik historiens dom
I dag er de ikke så dygtige mere
Og meget er blevet vendt om
De har ikke nogen mening
De husker kun hvad læreren sagde
Og drømmen de solgte for længe siden
For en god karakter - den kommer aldrig tilbage ...
Det eneste jeg ville var at være som dem
Håbed' jeg ku′ blive deres bedste ven
Men der er ingen mennesker, der vil ha' dig nær
Så længe du selv tror, at du er mindre værd
Det eneste jeg ville var at være som dem
Håbed′ jeg ku' blive deres bedste ven
Men der er ingen mennesker, der vil ha′ dig nær
Så længe du selv tror, at du er mindre værd
End de dygtige drenge ...
Det eneste jeg ville var at være som dem
Håbed' jeg ku' blive deres bedste ven
Men der er ingen mennesker, der vil ha′ dig nær
Så længe du selv tror, at du er mindre værd
End de dygtige drenge ...

The Talented Boys

I remember the talented boys
How perfectly and naturally they sat
Right up front with their fingers raised
They always made the teacher glad
And they were so good at everything
They had it all from home
When I was asked, I could never answer
For them it was easy enough - they just knew it
The only thing I wanted was to be like them
I hoped I could become their best friend
But there are no people who will have you near
As long as you believe you are worth less
Than the talented boys ...
The faithful little soldiers
Never stepped out of line
They always sided with the right ones - and they suffered
Never a defeat
Little by little I understood
That I wasn't so quick to learn
Fate would have it that I could never
Live up to them
The only thing I wanted was to be like them
I hoped I could become their best friend
But there are no people who will have you near
As long as you believe you are worth less
Than the talented boys ...
So I became angry at the talented boys
Because they were always right
Learned to hate everything they stood for
Just became the opposite
I built up my own defense
To survive myself
I went against the system
There was nothing to lose anyway
I went against all the rules
Against all the rules they knew so well
I went against all the words
Against all the words they mastered so beautifully
I went against all the books
Against all the books they knew by heart
Against everything they could do
Against everything they could do - it didn't matter what
If there was a person they didn't like
Then he got all my support and sympathy
I went solo - wanted to be completely free
So it was crystal clear that I could never be
Like the talented boys ...
The only thing I wanted was to be like them
I hoped I could become their best friend
But there are no people who will have you near
As long as you believe you are worth less
Than the talented boys ...
We met at the anniversary
And we received the judgment of history
Today they are not so talented anymore
And much has been turned around
They have no opinion
They only remember what the teacher said
And the dream they sold a long time ago
For a good grade - it never comes back ...
The only thing I wanted was to be like them
I hoped I could become their best friend
But there are no people who will have you near
As long as you believe you are worth less
The only thing I wanted was to be like them
I hoped I could become their best friend
But there are no people who will have you near
As long as you believe you are worth less
Than the talented boys ...
The only thing I wanted was to be like them
I hoped I could become their best friend
But there are no people who will have you near
As long as you believe you are worth less
Than the talented boys ...
