Текст и перевод песни Nik & Jay - Kan Du Høre Hende Synge

Kan Du Høre Hende Synge

Det her er en historie som for engang skyld ikke handler om Nik og Jay
Men som handler om en pige vi har mødt
Hun fortalte os sin historie

Hun var 10 år gammel da hun skiftede skole igen
3. gang på 2 år det var rutine for hende
Og hun vidste udmærket godt hvad der ventede hende da hun tog hjemmefra
Det samme show det samme had de samme kommentarer
Hun var klassens tykke pige
Skolen var et helvede
Hun legede altid kun de samme lege
Og havde altid kun sig selv med
Ledte efter lidt medvind
Men valgte hurtig af at give op
Hun lærte at hade sig selv, sit ansigt og sin krop
Løj sig syg fra skole frygtede timerne pjækkede fra dem
Hun var bange
Græd sig selv i søvne hver aften
Og hendes mor var ligeglad når hun en sjælden gang var hjemme
Hun var den mindste af fire
Man lagde sjælden mærke til hende
Stedfaren drak
Og havde han mulighed for det
Fik hun en lussing eller to
Men kun når mor ikke så det
Så du kunne finde hende på blokkens legeplads
Sønderknust på en gynge
Og når du lyttede godt efter kunne du høre hende synge

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Kan du høre hende synge
Whoa whoa x2

Og hun var til en privatfest en fucked up en af slagsen
Forvirret, fortvivlet kunne aldrig finde takten
Hun følte sig ganske lykkelig når hun var fuld
Men hun endte som altid med at drikke sig selv omkuld
Bedøvet af booze
Halvnøgen i en seng
Og en dreng ved siden af hende fordi døren stod på klem
Hun var så træt
At hun ikke magtede at gøre modstand
Lukkede bare øjnene og tænkte på noget andet
Tænkte på sin drøm
At blive sanger i et band
Om at være på forsiden af blade og have masser af fans
Men efteråret kom
Hun blev gravid
Hun var ligeglad
Folk pegede fingre af hende
Og råbte af hende på gaden
Og ensomme mænd besøgte hende flere og flere
Hun skulle have råd til sprut, stoffer, babytøj og bleer
Men man tog barnet fra hende
Og hun tænkte
Lad bare helvede begynde
Og man kunne høre hende synge

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Kan du høre hende synge
Whoa whoa x2

Og nu skriver hun digte om lys og mørke men mest om mørke
Og hun råber om hjælp
Men ingen hører det
Hun står ude foran hovedbanegården
Det sner
Hun er på vej hjem
Og det er tidlig morgen
Hun sætter sin ynglings plade på sin pladespiller
Alene på sit værelse med en håndfuld sovepiller
Hun lukker øjnene
Hun er klar
Hvisker til englene
Kom og tag mig væk herfra
Hun kikker sig i spejlet
Og hun græder lidt
Forbander den kærlighed som hun aldrig fik
Og nogen hamrer på døren
Men hun hører ingenting
Hun glæder sig bare til det sted hun skal hen
Og du kan høre hende synge

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Kan du høre hende synge
Whoa whoa x2

Han ånder lettet op da lægen fortæller at hun har det bedre
I 12 timer har han ikke flyttet sig nogen steder
Han har ventet på at se hende åbne øjnene igen
Efter han fandt hende kold og livløs i hendes seng
Hun husker ikke meget
Og hun kan knap nok kende ham
Han smiler bare og kysser hende på panden en enkelt gang
Han har altid elsket hende
Men gjorde aldrig noget ved det
Og hun har været for langt ude
Til at overhovedet at kunne se det
Men da han tager hendes hånd
Og aer hendes hår forsigtigt
Er der noget der siger hende
At det her kunne være rigtigt
Hun er her stadig
Og hun er ikke længere bange
Hun lukker øjnene
Glad for at nogen hørte hendes sang

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Kan du høre hende synge
Whoa whoa x2

Can You Hear Her Sing

This is a story that for once isn't about Nik and Jay
But about a girl we met
She told us her story

She was 10 years old when she changed schools again
3rd time in 2 years, it was routine for her
And she knew perfectly well what awaited her when she left home
The same show, the same hate, the same comments
She was the fat girl in the class
School was hell
She always played the same games
And always had only herself
Looking for a little tailwind
But quickly chose to give up
She learned to hate herself, her face, and her body
Lied herself sick from school, feared the hours, skipped them
She was scared
Cried herself to sleep every night
And her mother didn't care when she was rarely home
She was the youngest of four
She was rarely noticed
The stepfather drank
And if he had the opportunity
She got a slap or two
But only when Mom didn't see it
So you could find her on the block's playground
Heartbroken on a swing
And if you listened closely, you could hear her sing

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Can you hear her sing
Whoa whoa x2

And she was at a private party, a fucked up one
Confused, desperate, could never find the beat
She felt quite happy when she was drunk
But she ended up, as always, drinking herself under the table
Numbed by booze
Half-naked in a bed
And a boy next to her because the door was ajar
She was so tired
That she couldn't resist
Just closed her eyes and thought of something else
Thought about her dream
To become a singer in a band
About being on the cover of magazines and having lots of fans
But autumn came
She got pregnant
She didn't care
People pointed fingers at her
And yelled at her on the street
And lonely men visited her more and more
She needed money for booze, drugs, baby clothes and diapers
But they took the child away from her
And she thought
Just let hell begin
And you could hear her sing

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Can you hear her sing
Whoa whoa x2

And now she writes poems about light and darkness, but mostly about darkness
And she cries for help
But no one hears it
She stands outside the central station
It's snowing
She's on her way home
And it's early morning
She puts on her favorite record on her record player
Alone in her room with a handful of sleeping pills
She closes her eyes
She's ready
Whispers to the angels
Come and take me away from here
She looks in the mirror
And she cries a little
Cursing the love she never got
And someone is hammering on the door
But she hears nothing
She's just looking forward to where she's going
And you can hear her sing

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Can you hear her sing
Whoa whoa x2

He breathes a sigh of relief when the doctor tells him she's better
For 12 hours he hasn't moved anywhere
He's been waiting to see her open her eyes again
After he found her cold and lifeless in her bed
She doesn't remember much
And she can barely recognize him
He just smiles and kisses her forehead once
He's always loved her
But never did anything about it
And she's been too far gone
To even see it
But when he takes her hand
And gently strokes her hair
There's something that tells her
That this could be real
She's still here
And she's not afraid anymore
She closes her eyes
Glad someone heard her song

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Can you hear her sing
Whoa whoa x2
