Translation of the song Farfar Sang artist Rasmus Seebach

[Vers 1]

[Verse 1]

Jeg puster støv af de gamle plader

I blow dust off of the old records

Så mange minder gemt i hver melodi

So many memories hidden in every melody

Jeg ser hvordan du reagerer på stemmen

I see how you react to the voice

Måske den lyder som min

Perhaps it sounds like mine

La' mig fortælle dig om manden, der synger

Let me tell you about the man who's singing

Ja, jeg har nemlig ogs' engang haft en far

Well, I've also had a father once, too

Måske ikk' verdens allergladeste eventyr

Maybe it's not the happiest fairy tale in the world

Men det' der, vi kommer fra

But it's where we come from

[Omkvæd]

[Chorus]

De sagde, Tommy han var noget for sig

They said Tommy was something very special

Og levede et liv på landeveje

And lived a life on the road

Farfar sang

Grandpa sang

Og der var kvinder, der dansede

And there were dancing women

Og drengene, de skålede natten lang

And the boys toasted all night long

Og når han nåede til det store refræn

And when he reached the grand refrain

Så mærkede han alvor blive til leg

He felt serious things turn into a game

Så farfar sang

So grandpa sang

Og selv når festen den sluttede

And even though the party ended

Så sluttede den aldrig for ham

It never ended for him

Farfar sang

Grandpa sang

Kom, vi finder minderne frem

Come, we'll go find the memories

Og så' der kvinder, der danser

And then there are dancing woman

Og drengene, de skråler natten lang

And the boys scream all night long

[Vers 2]

[Verse 2]

Til farfars sange om kærlighed

To grandpa's songs of love

Om at sige det, som det er, og gi' ren besked

About saying it the way it is and saying things straight

Så var der dem, der stod og himlede i hjørnet

Then there were those who uttered themselves loudly in the corner

Nok lidt for kloge til at være med

Maybe a bit too smart to join in

Men hvis han var her, så ville farfar ha' sagt til dig

But if he were here, then grandpa would have told you

At dem der tvivler, ska' du ikk' lytte til

That you shouldn't listen to those who doubt

Gå ud i verden, vær dig selv til det sidste

Go out into the world, be who you are to the end

Bare la' dem sige lige hva' de vil

Just let them say whatever they want

[Omkvæd]

[Chorus]

Åh, de sagde, Tommy han var noget for sig

They said Tommy was something very special

Og levede et liv på landeveje

And lived a life on the road

Farfar sang

Grandpa sang

Og der var kvinder, der dansede

And there were dancing women

Og drengene, de skålede natten lang

And the boys toasted all night long

Og når han nåede til det store refræn

And when he reached the grand refrain

Så mærkede han alvor bli' til leg

He felt serious things turn into a game

Så farfar sang

So grandpa sang

Og selv når festen den sluttede

And even though the party ended

Så sluttede den aldrig for ham

It never ended for him

Farfar sang

Grandpa sang

Kom, vi finder minderne frem

Come, we'll go find the memories

Og så' der kvinder, der danser

And then there are dancing woman

Og drengene, de skråler natten lang

And the boys scream all night long

Til farfar

For Grandpa

[Kontraststykke]

[Bridge]

Der' nogle nætter hvor savnet det fylder alting

There are some nights when my loss takes up everything

Jeg bli'r vred over at I aldrig lært' hinanden at kende

I get angry that you never got to know each other

Så smiler du, og jeg ka' høre ham i et ekko

Then you smile, and I hear him in an echo

Jeg tror han er i os begge to

I think he is in the both of us

[Omkvæd]

[Chorus]

For Tommy han var noget for sig

They said Tommy was something very special

Han levede et liv på landeveje

And lived a life on the road

Farfar sang

Grandpa sang

Der var kvinder der dansede

Og drengene, de skålede natten lang

[Outro]

Til farfars sang (til farfars sang)

To grandpa's song (to grandpa's song)

Vi finder minderne frem

We go find the memories

Og så' der kvinder der danser

And then there are dancing woman

Og drengene, de skråler natten lang

And the boys scream all night long

Til farfar

For grandpa
