Engang Min Bror [English translation]

[Verse 1: Søren Karim]

You were my best friend, my loyal companion

My blood, my brother, my squire in the battle of childhood

But the years rushed by, and we couldn't keep up

I'd wish I could rewind time

[Pre-chorus: Lau]

So that you may blow your own cloud

And you may sail in your own lake1

But never forget who was there from the start

And you may build your own town

But don't count on getting a visit

But if everything crumbles, I'll be there

[Chorus: Lau]

Once my brother

Always my brother

Once my brother

Once my brother

Always my brother

[Verse 2: Mads]

We grew up side by side, and I remember for better or worse

We laughed, we cried, did all we could get to do

I haven't seen you in a thousand years, and you know how my blues goes

Too busy, too much, lost in a moment

[Pre-chorus: Lau]

So that you may blow your own cloud

And you may sail in your own lake

But never forget who was there from the start

And you may build your own town

But don't count on getting a visit

But if everything crumbles, I'll be there

[Chorus: Lau]

Once my brother

Always my brother

Once my brother

Once my brother

Always my brother

[Verse 3: Loke Deph]

We could kill a man together

Let me know, I've got it all under control, let the clouds come crashing down

We'll drive to Saltholm2 when the shadows grow long

Getting close to one another, don't be afraid

Do you recall what you said when you said once?

I thought it was permanent, we made the plan

But if anything's up, say my name three times

And I'll be ready, just call me, let's talk

[Chorus: Lau]

Once my brother

Always my brother
