Byens Hotel [English translation]

A seaman headed out for a trip so long

And the waves hit around his ship

The dolphins jumped and the captain sang

"You will come home one day"

But the seaman thought about his girl

And days became years

He thought "Yes, I will come home one day

But tell me when, when?"

And the girl she remembered the ever last dance

While days turned into years

Then she finally found a gentle lover

That licked her wounds

And the seaman sailed from port to port

Eventually she forgot his name

But time passes as time wants

One day the ship set port

He took a taxi to the city hotel

She saw him and completely forgot herself

They saw each other again for one only night

A night at the city hotel

A seaman headed out for a trip so long

And the waves hit around his ship

The dolphins jumped and the captain sang

"You sure will come home one day"
