Du' Det Dejligste [English translation]

A cigaret smoking itself

on the edge of my white piano

Paints with smoke the notes in the air

that I am composing

And it's supposed to turn into a song

that says all the things I never say

What you mean

Everything you give

But it's so hard to get it out

All the pretty words I get ruined

Cause how should I be able to dedicate to you

words that sounds a little beautiful

Those I come up with everyone else used

It's so hard to get it out

There I was with all my senses roused

Jotted down a simple message

I'll say it brief as it was:

"You are the most wonderful thing I have"

The keys at the end

of my finger falls into place

My melody for you it sounds

exactly how I want it to

With the words it's not as easy

Even though I've often attempted

writing you songs

A verse that was yours

But it's so hard to get it out

All the pretty words I get ruined

Cause how should I be able to dedicate to you

Words that sounds a little beautiful

Those I come up with everyone else used

It's so hard to get it out

There I was with all my senses roused

Jotted down a simple message

I'll say it brief as it was:

"You are the most wonderful thing I have"
