Translation of the song Jeg Ved artist Annika Aakjær

Jeg ved

I don't know

Ikk', hvor du er

Where you are

Om du røg op eller ned

If you went up or down

Eller er et sted lige her

Or if you are somewhere right here

Og jeg ved

And I don't know

Ikk', hvor du var

Where you were

Da jeg var lille og havd'

When I was little and

Såd'n brug for dig

Really needed you

Men jeg ved

But I know

Du ikk' var klar

You weren't ready

Til at ta' herfra

To leave this world

Lige så lidt klar

Just as little ready

Som du var

As you were

Til at bliv' min far

For being my father

Men nogen gange sker den slags bar'

But sometimes, those things just happen

Og jeg ved

And I don't know

Ikk', hvor du ville hen

What you hoped would happen

Med bare at sætte dig ned

By just sitting down

Og aldrig rejse dig igen

And never getting back up

Men jeg ved

But I know

Præcis hvordan, det er

Exactly how it feels

Når livet lægger dig ned

When life pins you to the ground

Og du ikk' ka' få vejret

And you can't breathe

Og jeg ved

And I know

At jeg en dag skal herfra

That some day, I'll leave this world

Og at det eneste, der er tilbage

And that the only thing there'll be left

Er den jeg var

Is who I used to be

Og at nogen gange sker den slags bare

And that sometimes, those things just happen
