Текст и перевод песни Mikael Wiehe - Titanic

Titanic

Det brjade som en skakning p nedre dck
Det fyllde oss vl mer med hpnad n med skrck
Vi frstod inte riktigt orsaken till
Att fartyget sprungit lck
Man hade sagt oss att detta var vrldens modernaste
Osnkbara skepp

Du tog vrt foto av barnen, dina smycken och din hatt
Jag tog en trja
Jag tnkte att havet r skert kallt
Nr vi steg ut ur vr hytt och sg
Hur vattnet brjat strmma in
Sg jag en tr, eller var det kanske en droppe vatten
P din kind

Vi fljde pilar som angav rddningsbtens plats
Det var p versta dck fast det ′gentli'n var frsta klass
Vi var rtt mnga men alla tog det ganska lugnt
Det var vl bara en herre frn tredje klass
Som trngde sej lite dumt

Vi trffa en man som vi hlsat p frut
Han presenterade oss fr sin dotter och sin fru
Nr vi kom upp p dck, sa kaptenen
Att livbten inte gick att f i sjn
Det var visst kedjorna till n′n hissanordning
Som ngon hade glmt

Vi gick till baren och fick ett gratis glas champagne
Och vi sklade fr imperiet och fr varann'
Nu brja skeppet att sjunka snabbare
Och dess lutning var ganska stor
Mnga hoppade i vattnet
Men vi beslt att stanna kvar ombord

Sen lmna rttorna skeppet fr att ska sej mot land
Men vi stod kvar dr p dcket och hll varann' i hand
Vi tnkte, havet r alltfr stort och kallt och vilt
Och i dom btar som satts i sjn fanns inte plats
Fr en enda till

Sen spela fartygsorkestern Nrmare Gud till Dig
Det kndes lite fnigt men nd rtt typiskt
Fr just vr tid
Vi har frlorat den allra sista gnuttan hopp
Vi gr till botten dr vi str
Men flaggan, den gr i topp

Titanic

It started as a shaking on the lower deck
It filled us more with hope than with terror
We didn't really understand the reason why
That the ship had sprung a leak
We had been told that this was the world's most modern
Unsinkable ship

You took our photo of the children, your jewelry and your hat
I took a sweater
I thought that the sea is surely cold
When we stepped out of our cabin and saw
How the water had begun to stream in
I saw a tear, or was it perhaps a drop of water
On your cheek

We followed the arrows that indicated the location of the lifeboats
It was on the top deck though it was 'actually' first class
There were quite a few of us but everyone took it quite calmly
It was only a gentleman from third class
Who pushed his way in a bit stupidly

We met a man whom we had greeted earlier
He introduced us to his daughter and his wife
When we came up on deck, the captain said
That the lifeboats could not be launched
Apparently, it was the chains of some elevator device
That someone had forgotten about

We went to the bar and got a free glass of champagne
And we toasted the empire and to each other
Now the ship began to sink faster
And its tilt was quite large
Many jumped into the water
But we decided to stay on board

Then the rats left the ship to save themselves
But we stood there on the deck and held each other's hands
We thought, the sea is far too big and cold and wild
And in those boats that were launched there was no room
For one more

Then the ship's orchestra played Nearer, My God, to Thee
It felt a bit silly but still quite typical
For our time
We have lost every single spark of hope
We're going to the bottom where we stand
But the flag, it flies at the top
