Текст и перевод песни Peter Sommer - De Gamle Stoffer

De Gamle Stoffer

De gamle stoffer
Virker ikke mere
Så er det nu vi stopper
Eller tar nogle flere

Lægger det bag os
Tar det hele forfra
Er det her en slags mantra
Man ikke bør gentage?

Den rus sku vi ha
Livet var en chance
Som vi mente man sku ta

Men hvilken vej skal man ta
Den ene peger fremad
Den anden går tilbage

Vi læser avisen
Når vi vil informeres
Ser skriften på væggen
Når vi vil vide mere

Hører ure der tikker
Hører hjerter der banker
Før var vi så sikre
Vi kom på andre tanker

Den rus sku vi ha
Livet var en chance
Som vi mente man sku ta

Men hvilken vej skal man ta
Den ene peger fremad
Den anden går tilbage

The Old Drugs

The old drugs
Don't work anymore
So now we stop
Or take some more

Put it behind us
Start all over again
Is this some kind of mantra
That you shouldn't repeat?

We had to have that rush
Life was a chance
That we thought we should take

But which way should we go
One points forward
The other goes back

We read the newspaper
When we want to be informed
See the writing on the wall
When we want to know more

Hear clocks ticking
Hear hearts beating
We used to be so sure
We changed our minds

We had to have that rush
Life was a chance
That we thought we should take

But which way should we go
One points forward
The other goes back
