ABC - TV-2 перевод на английский

ABC

Her er historien om A, som hadede B
Der på den anden side ikke rigtig kunne C
At D sku være problemet, og man var vel voksne mennesker
Så blev EF taget med på råd
Men de ku ik' bli enige om noget
Og resten af alfabetet blev slet ikke spurgt

Man skrev op og talte ned
De små bogstaver fik klar besked
Vi må spare på sproget, væk med det vi ikke forstår

Først strøg prikken over I'et så røg bollen over Å
Så blev spørgsmålstegnet fyret, svaret bedt om at gå
Det blev meget lettere at være dansker igen

Tilsidst gik sproget helt i stå
Ingen turde sige noget, nogen ku misforstå
Man lod frygten få det sidste ord

Moralen er banal, men alligevel sjældent set
Man begyndte helt forfra med et nyt alfabet
Hvor alle bogstaver havde noget at sige

Så måtte B lære at holde A
Det var svært, men som de sagde
Mellem linierne er vi alle lige store

Man skrev op og talte ned
De små bogstaver fik klar besked
Vi må spare på sproget, væk med det vi ikke forstår

ABC

Here's the story of A, who hated B
While on the other side, B couldn't really handle C
That D was the problem, and we were supposed to be adults
So EF were brought in for advice
But they couldn't agree on anything
And the rest of the alphabet wasn't even asked

We wrote things down and counted down
The lowercase letters got clear instructions
We have to save on language, get rid of what we don't understand

First, the dot over the I was removed, then the loop on the Å disappeared
Then the question mark was fired, and the answer was told to leave
It became much easier to be Danish again, my dear

Eventually, the language came to a complete standstill
No one dared to say anything, someone might misunderstand
We let fear have the last word

The moral is banal, but still rarely seen
We started all over again with a new alphabet
Where all the letters had something to say

So B had to learn to hold A
It was hard, but as they said
Between the lines, we are all equal

We wrote things down and counted down
The lowercase letters got clear instructions
We have to save on language, get rid of what we don't understand
