Når jeg ser på en skærm, hvad de skriver om mit land
When I see on a screen the things they're writing about my country
Og jeg ser de der, vi valgte, stå og lyve på TV
And I see the ones we elected lying on TV
Det' som en bil, der' gået i stå
It's like a stagnated car
En masse børn, der spørg' om de må
A lot of children asking if they can
Sidde på forsædet
Sit in the front seat
Danmark, jeg ga' dig mine bedste år
Denmark, I gave you my best years
Men du knuste min drøm
But your broke my dream
Jeg troede, vi var mere end det
I thought we were more than that
Det lovede du mig faktisk
You actually promised me that
Med en sol, der' rød, og en nat, der' blevet sort
With a red sun and a night which has gone black
Så tænker jeg, at ingen alligevel ka' mene det, de si'r
I think that no one can mean what they say, anyway
Lille du, hvad skal vi nu?
Little one, what are we going to do now?
Jeg si'r farvel
I'm saying goodbye
Til noget af mig selv
To a part of myself
La' os se, hvem der falder først
Let's see who'll fall first
Danmark, jeg ga' dig mine bedste år
Denmark, I gave you my best years
Men du knuste min drøm
But your broke my dream
Du tog alt, jeg havde, med
You took everything I had with you
Og kastede det i grøften
Throwing it into the ditch
Danmark, jeg ga' dig mine bedste år
Denmark, I gave you my best years
Men du knuste min drøm
But your broke my dream
Jeg troede, vi var mere end det
I thought we were more than that
Det sagde du i hvert fald selv
At least that's what you said yourself
Danmark, jeg ga' dig mine bedste år
Denmark, I gave you my best years
Men du knuste min drøm
But your broke my dream
Jeg købte ellers alt det, du sagde
I actually believed everything you said
Men jeg har ingenting tilbage
But I've got nothing left
Danmark, jeg ga' dig mine bedste år
Denmark, I gave you my best years
Men du knuste min drøm
But your broke my dream
