Jeg husker jeg løb fra de store i gården
I remember that I was running from the big boys on the playground
Jeg husker jeg snublede og faldt
I remember that I tripped and fell
Skikkelser skærmede for solen fra oven
Figures blocked the sun above out
Jeg troede mine dage var talte
I thought I was done for
Jeg husker du stillede op
I remember that you stood up
Du sagde, Pas nu jer selv - la' ham være
You said, Mind yourselves - leave him be
Du sagde, Nu har han fået nok
You said, He's had enough now
I' fire mod én - det' ikk' fair
You're four against one - that's not fair
Det stod klart at vi sku' være
It was obvious we were meant to be
Venner for altid
Friends forever
Vi svor om broderskab og ære
We swore about brotherhood and honor
Om venner for altid
About being friends forever
Ååh, venner for altid, ååh
Ooh, friends forever, ooh
Fra drengene der leger til dumme drengestreger
From the playing boys to stupid pranks
Der blev vilder' som årene gik
Becoming rougher over the years
Det gik som det plejer; med røg og med bajere
It went as it usually does; with smoke and beers
Men for dig kom en dag, det slog klik
But for you, there came a day when you snapped
Jeg sagde, Hey, slap nu af
I said, Hey, calm down
Pas nu på dig selv, tag det roligt
Take care of yourself, take it easy
Men du ville ikk' se tilbage
But you didn't want to look back
At vi holdt' sammen var egentlig utroligt
It's actually incredible that we stuck together
Men det stod klart at vi sku' være
But it was obvious we were meant to be
Venner for altid
Friends forever
Vi svor om broderskab og ære
We swore about brotherhood and honor
Om venner for altid
About being friends forever
Ååh, venner for altid, ååh
Ooh, friends forever, ooh
Vi forstod nok aldrig helt hva' du løb fra
We probably never really understood what you were running from
Kun at du havde brug for at bedøve dig
Only that you needed to tranquilize yourself
Fuld fart ud i natten den forkerte vej
Full speed forward into the night in the wrong lane
Vi troede vi havde mistet dig
We thought we had lost you
Du ville altid helt ud til kanten
You always wanted to go all the way out to the edge
Vi troede du tog springet, da du fandt den
We thought you would jump off of it when you found it
Fuld fart ud i natten den forkerte vej
Full speed forward into the night in the wrong lane
Tænk, vi troede vi havde mistet dig
Imagine, we thought we had lost you
Vi mødes måske et par gange om året
We meet up maybe a couple of times a year
For alting det går jo så stærkt
'Cause everything goes by so quickly
Historier fortælles, dem har vi tilfælles
Stories are told, we have those in common
Men vi har et liv hver især
But the both of us have our own lives
Men efter en time eller to
But after an hour or two
Når vinen og minderne flyder
When the wine and the memories flow
Så' vi tilbage i gården på skolen
We're back on the playground at our school
Og ligemeget hvor tåbeligt det lyder
And no matter how stupid it may sound
[Alternativt omkvæd]
[Alternative chorus]
Så vil vi altid være
We'll always be
Venner for altid
Friends forever
Vi sværger broderskab og ære
We swear brotherhood and honor
Vi' venner for altid
We're friends forever
Ååh, venner for altid, ååh
Ooh, friends forever, ooh
