Du var min armé [English translation]

Empty your room

Of teenage thoughts now

You said: Make your choice

Take an independent decision

I held a hand there

Against your warm skin

You said: Close your door

We have something to sort out

And you stood there with your knife

Beside your German car

You cut my cool life

To the pattern of a war

You stole my gaze

You went your own way

You said There are small tricks

That make people mean well

And the songs I have heard

And the films I saw

were the wildest things I have done

But nothing was as great

as when

You stood there with your knife

Beside your German car

You cut my cool life

To the pattern of a war
