Simmaren [English translation]

They're selling out my homeland

Competition shall be free

So take your life in your own hands

No one's interfering

The naked and the dead

All shall follow

You have only yourself to blame (now?)

If you have an issue

It is your onw issue

Our storytime is changing and we flee from the rhetoric

To charter-white shores

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year and all is forgotten

Let it all be

Let time do the working for us

It's shaken off us at last

But I will never ever forget you

Let it all be

Let it sink just like Titanic

And now the past is over

But I will never ever forget you

What feels like a couple hours

Could be months passing by

Why does time increase in speed

The less of it that one has left

I am a lake concealed in the mists

The one that almost grew again

Where you taught me how to swim

in August 1975*

Let it all be

Let time do the working for us

It's shaken off us at last

But I will never ever forget you

Let it all be

Let it sink just like Titanic

And now the past is over

But I will never forget you

Happiness is confidential

Happiness is private

But you must share your sadness

Or it becomes way to big to handle

Let it all be

Let time do the working for us

It's shaken off us at last

But I will never ever forget you

Let it all be

Let it sink just like Titanic

And now the past is over

But I will never ever forget you
