Текст и перевод песни Nik & Jay - Forstadsdrømme

Forstadsdrømme

Jeg vokset' op blandt forstadens helte,
Rækkehuse og drømmekage
Og duften af nyslået græs på sommerdage
Husker da vi stjal blommer fra fru. Jensens træ
Og hvordan vi gemte os,
Oppe på skolens tag
Omringet af villaveje og bøgeblade
Dybe skove, der nærmest ingen ende havde
Nye stier tog form, hver gang man tog et skridt
Alt i verden synes stort og forunderligt
Fik mit første skateboard omkring 4. klasse
Lærte at lave en Ollie, over en ølkas'
Lyse nætter, vi hang ud på den røde plads
Pludselig var man teenager, jeg giver den gas
Far var læge
Mor var pædagog
Alligevel er det som at jeg arvede lidt fra begge to
Nu har jeg en doktorgrad i poesi og popmusik
Voksne respekterer mig, og kids'ne synes vi det shit
Havde altid en trang til at bryde ud,
Lagde mit første vers i Jon og Jules i Birkerød
I et lille studie, uden den store erfaring
Ikke desto mindre føles dagen som en åbenbaring
Husker tydeligt Nik sagde, at hvis vi bliver ved
Så skal vi nok en dag blive ligeså store som DGP
Næste morgen blev erstattet af et andet,
Og jeg så min verden blive forvandlet

Det lige meget hvad dagen bringer,
Lige meget hvor rejsen ender,
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig,
Så det okay, okay
Det lige meget hvad dagen bringer,
For hele verden venter,
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig
Og pludselig synger hele landet dit navn
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig
Og pludselig synger hele landet dit navn
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig

Pur' ung punk, skateboard i min fars tunk
Bjergtoppet ventede på at vi skulle bestige dem
BM, se dem, i ved hvem
Bagmændene,
Fra forstæderne og ud i verden
Der var en tid før skræddersyet suits,
Og air ones,
Jeg rockede Wade's pants
Og Reebok pumps
Og mine tanker flyver hen på solsorten,
Jeg begravede under en sten i carporten
Ser et billede af min bror, i en blå pyjamas
I en hospitalsseng, han var sku lige ved at forlade os
Men Gud ske tak og lov, han blev
Du Mægtige Morne, tak for jeg ku' skrive
For jeg er ik' bare en hipster
Næ, jeg er en af de ægte artister
Og det vil vise sig,
Når vi blower op igen og igen
Uden at gå i stykker,
For vi er ik' nogen af dem
Der sidder fast på den røde løber
Og den version af os selv,
Som vi var engang
Dukker op som et fjernt minde i en sang
Som for at sige "Come on, vi lever drømmen videre i morgen"

Det lige meget hvad dagen bringer,
Lige meget hvor rejsen ender,
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig,
Så det okay, okay
Det lige meget hvad dagen bringer,
For hele verden venter,
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig
Og pludselig synger hele landet dit navn
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig
Og pludselig synger hele landet dit navn
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
Bare jeg har drømmene med mig
Åh, åh, åh
Åh, åh, åh
Åh, åh åh,
Åh, og min mor sang "solen er så rød, mor" for mig
Åh, åh, åh
Åh, åh, åh
Åh, åh, åh
Hey, åhh

Suburban Dreams

I grew up among the heroes of the suburbs,
Row houses and dream cake
And the scent of freshly cut grass on summer days
Remember when we stole plums from Mrs. Jensen's tree
And how we hid,
Up on the school roof
Surrounded by residential streets and beech leaves
Deep forests that seemed to have no end
New paths took shape every time you took a step
Everything in the world seemed big and amazing
Got my first skateboard around 4th grade
Learned to do an Ollie, over a beer crate
Bright nights, we hung out on the red square
Suddenly I was a teenager, I'm going all out
Dad was a doctor
Mom was a teacher
Still, it's like I inherited a little from both of them
Now I have a PhD in poetry and pop music
Adults respect me, and the kids think we're the shit
Always had an urge to break out,
Laid down my first verse at Jon and Jules' in Birkerød
In a small studio, without much experience
Nevertheless, the day feels like a revelation
I clearly remember Nik saying that if we keep going
Then one day we'll be as big as DGP
The next morning was replaced by another,
And I saw my world being transformed

It doesn't matter what the day brings,
No matter where the journey ends,
As long as I have my dreams with me,
So it's okay, okay
It doesn't matter what the day brings,
Because the whole world is waiting,
As long as I have my dreams with me
And suddenly the whole country is singing your name
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
As long as I have my dreams with me
And suddenly the whole country is singing your name
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
As long as I have my dreams with me

Young punk, skateboard in my dad's trunk
The mountain top was waiting for us to climb them
BM, see them, you know who
The masterminds,
From the suburbs and out into the world
There was a time before tailored suits,
And Air Ones,
I rocked Wade's pants
And Reebok Pumps
And my thoughts fly to the blackbird,
I buried under a stone in the carport
See a picture of my brother, in blue pajamas
In a hospital bed, he was about to leave us
But thank God and praise, he stayed
You Mighty Morning, thanks for letting me write
Because I'm not just a hipster
No, I'm one of the real artists
And it will show,
When we blow up again and again
Without breaking,
Because we're not one of them
Stuck on the red carpet
And that version of ourselves,
As we once were
Pops up as a distant memory in a song
As if to say "Come on, we'll live the dream on tomorrow"

It doesn't matter what the day brings,
No matter where the journey ends,
As long as I have my dreams with me,
So it's okay, okay
It doesn't matter what the day brings,
Because the whole world is waiting,
As long as I have my dreams with me
And suddenly the whole country is singing your name
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
As long as I have my dreams with me
And suddenly the whole country is singing your name
Na-na-na-na-ne-na-na-ne-na-na
As long as I have my dreams with me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh,
Oh, and my mom sang "the sun is so red, mom" for me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, ohh
