Fulla för kärlekens skull [English translation]

Somewhere the clock strikes four now

And it's pouring down outside

I'm leaving in an hour

Maria's sleeping yet

We sat on Rörstrand Street

Last night and drank some wine

The autumn leaves filled up our hearts

Two lovers is what we were

The suitcase is already packed now

But I don't want to go

How do you leave the one you love?

I will never understand

Long ago there was a time

When my heart was made of stone

I could leave everything and everyone

I just changed my role and scene

Now tears roll down my cheeks

As I drive out through South Toll

Tonight I will get drunk, for the sake of love

Sunday night in the town I was born

I stand in a bar with old friends

We swore the pact when we were young

All for one whatever happens

But the wild life it tore me

Someone leaves and someone stays

God's honour to those who stay

And carry the dead to their graves

Now I walk the street of memories

Through a land of olden trams

Through the smog of the factories

Before the jobs disappeared

And pictures of my hometown, they chase me through my dreams

This is for everyone who never made it

To the other side of the dream

People aim guns to their foreheads

Or kill somebody else

And we drink for the sake of love

We are drunk for the sake of love

I've travelled ten thousand miles

My life is train and boat and car

I walk out naked in the night

I am an island and you're the water

And it's summer for just one second

And I remember everything

When we went to the sea for the sake of love

When we got drunk for the sake of love

And death and loneliness have called and booked a table

Between the walls of the church, echo a thousand years of words

And we talked in the dark

I said "Honey, tell me what you want

Forget the serious games, I'm coming back for real"

And I sit down in my car

And I smoke a cigarette

Yeah, the sort that don't do it right, they still make it yet

And my brother sits beside me

Like a lost Don Quixote

With the guitar around him tightly

Always ready to take a shot

We're on our way to a new day

We're on our way to Stockholm City

We'll get drunk for the sake of love

We have broad wings of gold

And we fall down to our knees

And we are drunk for the sake of love

We are drunk for the sake of love

We are drunk for the sake of love
