Текст и перевод песни Lulu Ziegler - Storbyens Ensomhed

Storbyens Ensomhed

Man ser en virksom by og folk går ud, går ind
Ad der til lavet dør med messing skilt
En sol går ned bag skyen
Der ligger bag ved byen
I himmel rummet ordnes alting snildt

Der drejer en kasserne med mange lyse rum
I endnu større rum på klode polen
Og pigen dyd og sjov
Bor begge dør om dør
Og begge kaster blikket op mod solen

De tager begge bad
De drikker begge the
De rører begge rundt i runde kopper
De køber begge brød
De synger begge højt
Og begge ler og græder, går og hopper

De synger begge to
Om kærlighed og død
Og længes sjov mod kvinden
Dyd mod manden
De drømmer begge nøgne
Om natten mellem stjerner
Men de har aldrig set og hørt hinanden.

Loneliness of the City

I see a bustling city, and people walk in and out,
Through doors made for them, with brass signs,
A sun sets behind clouds,
That lie behind the city,
In the sky, all things are ordered gently.

There turns a barracks with many bright rooms,
In even larger rooms at the Earth's pole,
And the girl's virtue and fun,
Both live door to door,
And both cast their gaze up at the sun.

They both take baths,
They both drink tea,
They both stir their tea in round cups,
They both buy bread,
They both sing out loud,
And both laugh and cry, walk and jump.

They both sing,
About love and death,
And desire for fun toward women,
Virtue toward men,
They both dream naked,
At night among the stars,
But they have never seen or heard each other.
