Fråga stjärnorna [English translation]

I have just passed

A big neon-green sign

Where someone yelled: "hey you,

I can tell your fortune

You look pretty lost."

There was a man in the doorway

Compelling me

I thought "What do I have to lose

I'll give in

I'm going in"

He said: "the stars tell

Who you are as an individual

Jump if you dare

Risk your life

And you don't know half

Of what I'm reading here

But remember before you jump,

Ask the stars when."

He took me on a trip

A guided tour of my life

And soon we passed the border

To what's called the future

I should've left but there was

Something holding me back

Yes, wanting to know

What's waiting for me someday

He said: "the stars tell

Who you are as an individual

Jump if you dare

Risk your life

And you don't know half

Of what I'm reading here

But remember before you jump,

Ask the stars when."

"You might meet someone

Who puts lives at risk"

I got up to leave and said

"Whatever happens, happens"

But I'm not a slave

Of the powers that control

I have free will

I don't need to flee"

He said: "Ask the stars when"

I remember the green sign

And the smell of burning asphalt

And somewhere inside me

A door was left ajar

Even though I don't believe

In the stars

It's been hard for me to forget

Those words he said:

"the stars tell

Who you are as an individual

Jump if you dare

Risk your life

And you don't know half

Of what I'm reading here

But remember before you jump,

Ask the stars when."
