Translation of the song En Joke artist Kristian Leth

Danish

En Joke

English translation

A Joke

Alt har en pris, og kærlighed har to

Everything has a price and love has two

Vi kørte i bil, indtil vi måtte gå

We drove in a car until we had to walk

Men der var ingenting tilbage i dit blik

But there was nothing left in your eyes

Da du kigged' ud ad vinduet

When you looked out the window

Livets formål virker meningsløst, sagde du

The purpose of life seems meaningless, you said

Der' alt for mange træer og ikke nogen skove

There are far too many trees and no forests

Hvor ska' vi hen? sagde du til mig

Where are we going? you asked me

Du havde ikk' set, at jeg var gået min vej

You hadn't seen that I'd left

Det var en joke, du ikk' forstod

It was a joke you didn't understand

Du kigged' ud ad vinduet

You looked out the window

Vi så det ske, vi så det begge to

We saw it happen, the both of us saw it

Et langsomt styrt i ophøjet ro

A slow crash in elevated peace

Men der var intet liv tilbage i mit dyb

But there was no life left in my depth

Da du kigged' ud ad vinduet

When you looked out the window

Livets formål virker hult og tomt, sagde du

The purpose of life seems hollow and empty, you said

Og træerne stod så tæt, at der ikk' var nogen skove

And the trees were so close that there were no forests

Hvor ska' vi hen? sagde du til mig

Where are we going? you asked me

Du havde ikk' set, at jeg var gået min vej

You hadn't seen that I'd left

Det var en joke, du ikk' forstod

It was a joke you didn't understand

Du kigged' ud ad vinduet

You looked out the window

Alt dét du ser og alt ???

Everything you see and everything ???

Alt du vidste og alt dét du tog med

Everything you knew and everything you took with you

Det er en joke, du stadig ikk' forstår

It is a joke you still don't understand

Nu vi kigger ud ad vinduet

Now that we're looking out the window
