En dag när du blir stor [English translation]

Merry Christmas, I wish a merry christmas

For all those who long away

Somewhere else, warm and safe

Where you can sleep

And no one quarrels

Right now

Dear you, I know that you are crying

That it is hard to feel faith

When everything is cold and dark

And you are weak

But you, it will not always be like that

For one day when you grow up

A table will be set

In your home where you live

With your family, I believe

That one day when you grow up

They will gather around your table

And the christmas you never got

You shall have

Someday when you grow up

Merry christmas, I want ot wish a merry christmas

For little me. when I was a child

Mother gave us everything and more besides

But something was missing

I missed my father the most

Right then

When everyone was sleeping on christmas morning

Silently forward on toes I sneaked down

And sat at the foot of the tree and looked out

I remeber I promised

That everything will be like before

For one day when I grow up

A table will be set

In my home where I live

With my family, I believe

That one day when I grow up

They shall gather around my table

And the christmas we never got

We shall have

Someday when I grow up

Stars and light

It is warm in our house

But out there it blows cold

We gather around the food

Dance for a while around the tree

Oh, the children they wait for Santa

And long to see what they will recieve

Merry christmas and a really happy new year, oh

Yes, one day when you grow up

A table will be set

In your home where you live

With your family, I believe

Because today when I am big

I want to wish these words

To those who may have it difficult

Merry christmas and a happy new year
