kent, vapen & ammunition

[cimorene]

i know nobody cares about this because everybody who cares about kent already knows the lyrics better than i do. however, translating from swedish is a good exercise for me, and i've been having so many urges to translate kent songs that i decided to just go ahead and do it.


pearls
("pärlor" from vapen & ammunitionen)

stories for children who are like you
(about a tunnel at the end of the light)*
i am your friend and we learn from each other
(that's one of the reasons)
give them the finger and warm my hand
(in an ice-cold ikea land)
you're my friend and we learn from each other
(only one of the reasons, one of the reasons)

so spin my world around again
the radio plays our song
stockholm is abandoned and the world holds its breath
(what color the soul has!)
spin my world around again
for all we dreamed once upon a time
everything you do turns to pearls on my forehead

give us a chance, we are older now
(we see the light at the end of the tunnel)
give us a chance, we can learn from each other
(that's one of the reasons)
stories for children who are grown up now
(the tv's on as background noise)
i am your friend and we learn from each other
(only one of the reasons)
