Skulder ved skulder [English translation]

You don't have any wrinkles on your forehead

and not even a mere worry in the world

You don't believe in God or anybody else

And you are not afraid of pain

And you make me laugh

Mostly at myself

And you make life seem like

something we could make it through anyway

And if somebody came and claimed that you drink too much,

the I would make sure to become even more drunk than you

And when somebody stands there and tells you that I am over the top,

then, you would stand right there shoulder to shoulder next to me

And say that

I am like a light in the wind

And I say that you are the biggest

Or at least as big as Anne Linnet

Meanwhile neither of us dies of thirst

And if someone came and claimed that you drink too much,

then I would make sure to become even more drunk than you

And if someone goes and thinks that I am over the top

then, you would stand there right shoulder to shoulder next to me

And now I actually care

to become more than 60 (sixty)

If you, too, are still here

at a bench at the lakes, happy and chill

We'll drink beer and smoke cigarettes, yeah

And should you die before me because you smoke a little too much

Then, I will sit at the lakes every summer and think of you

And if I go and think that life is becoming a little too much

then, you will sit right there like an angel at my shoulder

Absolutely without any wrinkles on your forehead

and not even a mere worry in the world
