2017 [English translation]

[Verse 1]

They met at a night club in central city

He was straight forward, she was a little more shy

He's hit as by a lead bullet

But the girl she was cool and thought he was ridiculous

He had gotten used to playing the field well

But this girl she was hard to impress

He said: ”let's beat it, no one is watching”

I think this could become something beautiful

[Build]

But the girl she was ice

Said, ”Hey Romeo

Tell me what is it you really want

Cause I'm careful

About to whom I give my heart

You're talking about love

While running around breaking hearts

You, you are not remotely ready yet”

[Chorus]

But maybe some day

We could meet in the future

I think, he said

”Don't let it be too long”

When the sun sets over the roofs of the city

If only there was no way back (back, back)

And that's how two became three

One day in the year 2017

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

Stop pretending

That this nightlife is not suddenly empty

He said to himself with a drink in his hand

But the nights kept spinning around like a carousel

And even though he had been under the impression

That he probably was not the type to settle down

He stood there a late night on Østerbro1

And said, ”I wanna be with you”

[Build]

But the girl she was ice

Said, ”Hey Romeo

Tell me what is it you really want

Cause my mother taught me

To be careful about to whom you give your heart

You're talking about love

While running around breaking hearts

You, you are not remotely ready yet”

[Chorus]

But maybe some day

We could meet in the future

I think, he said

”Don't let it be too long”

When the sun sets over the roofs of the city

If only there was no way back (back, back)

And that's how two became three

One day in the year 2017

Oh, oh, oh

In the year 2017

[Bridge]

She looks at the baby sound asleep

There by her side

She can feel the heartbeat

She looks at her family and starts smiling

Cause just think about it

The night she said to him

[Alternative Chorus]

Maybe some day

Meet in the future

I think, he said

Don't let it be too long

Maybe some day

Meet in the future

I think, he said

Don't let it be too long

[Chorus]

But maybe some day

We could meet in the future

I think, he said

”Don't let it be too long”

When the sun sets over the roofs of the city

If only there was no way back (back, back)

And that's how two became three

One day in the year 2017

Oh, oh, oh

In the year 2017
