Dét der er med livet Lyrics Translation – Malte Ebert
The lyricist mentions the cultural habit of men carrying their pain alone. A key line from August Møller Fogh and Malte Ebert promises that even on dark days, summer will come again. This piece calls for effort, stating that life doesn’t live itself.
Jeg Ved Hvor Du Kommer FraI know where you come from,
Men Sig Mig Hvor Skal Du HenBut tell me, where are you going?
Vi Skåler Drikker Tæt På En BarWe’re toasting and drinking at a bar,
Men Vi Så Langt Fra HinandenBut we’re so far from each other.
Ups Jeg Kom Til Det IgenOops, I did it again.
Jeg Turde Ik’ Spørge IndI didn’t dare to ask,
Til Det Der Tynger Dit SindAbout what’s weighing on your mind.
Måske Det Fordi Vi Er MændMaybe it’s because we’re men.
At Vi Går Med Det SelvThat we carry it all ourselves,
Ik’ Rækker Ud Efter HjælpAnd don’t reach out for help.
Selvom Det Ser Sort UdEven though things look dark,
Så Lover Jeg Dig At Det Bliver Sommer – IgenI promise you that summer will come again.
Og På De Lange Nætter Bare Stol PåAnd on the long nights, just trust,
At Bedre Dage Kommer IgenThat better days will come again.
Der Er Bjerge Der Skal BestigesThere are mountains that have to be climbed,
Det Det Der Er Med LivetThat’s the thing about life.
Det Skal Leves IhjelIt has to be lived to the fullest.
Jeg Ved Det Svært Men Jeg Siger Bliv VedI know it’s hard, but I’m telling you to keep going.
Det Det Der Er Med LivetThat’s the thing about life,
Det Lever Ik’ Sig SelvIt doesn’t live itself.
Hvad Gemmer Der Sig Bag Ved De TingWhat’s hiding behind the things,
Du Ik’ Sætter Ord PåThat you don’t put into words?
Dit Blik Er Lige Så Tomt Som Din DrinkYour gaze is as empty as your drink.
For Du Mangler Noget Du Tror PåBecause you’re missing something to believe in.
Ups Du Kom Til Det IgenOops, you did it again,
Sige Det Ik’ Er Så SlemtSaying it’s not so bad.
Ved Du Ik’ Har Det NemtI know you don’t have it easy,
Men Nu Må Du Stole På Din VenBut now you have to trust your friend.
Du Ska’ Ik’ Gå Med Det SelvYou shouldn’t carry it all yourself,
Kom Nu Bare Luk’ Mig IndCome on, just let me in.
Vi Tog Det Lidt For GivetWe took it a bit for granted.
Det Det Der Er Med LivetThat’s the thing about life.
Det Lever Ik Sig SelvIt doesn’t live itself.
Der Så Meget Mere At SigeThere’s so much more to say,
Det Derfor Du Skal BliveThat’s why you have to stay.
Lige Her Min VenRight here, my friend.
