Текст и перевод песни Ulf Lundell - Club Zebra

Club Zebra

Jag kom gende en natt
Det var i utkanten av stan
Jag sg en skylt som ls i regnet
Det stod Club Zebra
Tv marschaller flmtade
Och drren den var svart och vit
En trappa ner i djupet till Club Zebra
Hett och rkigt, l och whisky
Flickor satt i kn
P unga mn som vlte sin glas
Och skrt och skrek
Bandet hadde redan spelat
Klockan var halv tre
Jag satte mig vid senen helt osynlig
Jag sg mig sjlv med anneli
Min arm runt hennes midja
Hon var varm som en kamin
Och alldeles ljuvlig
Vi kte vra tretti mil
Tre set p en kvll
Trehundra i ett vardagsrum
Och fest sen p ett motorhotell
Dimma ver stan, kriget har brjat
Lttare att va frmling
I frmmande land n hr
Hennes hr r nnu blont av sommarens sol
En bild av henne i tidningen
Jag vet inte vem hon r
Alla frlorade slagna utanfrvarelser
Gr genom grindarna ikvll
Dom bygger ett fort av snger och drmmar
Som Robin Hood och Blind Willie McTell
Du behver nn att lska
Du behver ngra vnner
Du behver nn att leva fr
Du behver ntt att tro p
Men det r ett land fullt av hedningar
Ett land utan sjl, och handen du trycker
Nr du skriver kontrakt r det klor p
Drren har gtt i bakls igen
Du r utlst i ditt eget kvarter
Det ligger ett tempel p kullen i solen
Vill du dit fr du ta trappan ner
Sonny kliver genom spegeln och
Frsvinner, byter namn
Nu kan du se honom i svart och rosa
P Club Zebra
Sara har ett skepp i sjlen
Jolly Roger fladdrar, hon vill kapa
Alla cutters p Club Zebra
Winnifred och Babylon har ett hus
Dom vill vnda ut-och-in p
Gameboy har rymt hemifrn
Han slr dvrat till och spottar
P vgger som Rimbaud -a

Club Zebra

I came wandering one night
It was on the outskirts of the city
I saw a sign that read in the rain
It said Club Zebra
Two torches flickered
And the door was black and white
A staircase down into the depths to Club Zebra
Hot and smoky, beer and whiskey
Girls were sitting on laps
Young men who overturned their glasses
And cursed and screamed
The band had already played
It was half past three
I sat down at the scene completely invisible
I saw myself with Anneli
My arm around her waist
She was warm like a stove
And absolutely lovely
We drove our thirty miles
Three sets in one evening
Three hundred in a living room
And party then at a motor hotel
Fog over the city, the war has begun
Easier to be a stranger
In a foreign land than here
Her hair is still blonde from the summer sun
A picture of her in the newspaper
I don't know who she is
All the lost beaten outsiders
Go through the gates tonight
They build a fort of songs and dreams
Like Robin Hood and Blind Willie McTell
You need somebody to love
You need some friends
You need something to live for
You need something to believe in
But it's a land full of heathens
A land without a soul, and the hand you shake
When you sign contracts has claws on it
The door has been locked again
You're a foreigner in your own neighborhood
There is a temple on the hill in the sun
If you want to get there, you have to take the stairs down
Sonny steps through the mirror and
Disappears, changes his name
Now you can see him in black and pink
At Club Zebra
Sara has a ship in her soul
Jolly Roger flutters, she wants to hijack
All cutters on Club Zebra
Winnifred and Babylon have a house
They want to turn inside out
Gameboy has run away from home
He slams the door and spits
On walls like Rimbaud -a
