Translation of the song Lille filantrop artist Annika Aakjær
Lille filantrop
Little Philanthropist
Mit ungdomssløvsind
My youthful lethargy
Kommer aldrig til at passe ind
Will never fit in
Det har jeg hørt så tit
I've heard that so often
Det har jeg hørt så tit
I've heard that so often
Min mor og min far
My mother and my father
Ved ikke, hvor jeg har det fra
Don't know where I've got it from
Det har jeg hørt så tit
I've heard that so often
Det har de sagt tit
They've said that often
De si'r: Din lille filantrop, vågn nu op!
They say, You little philanthropist, just wake up!
Læs dit horoskop og gi' langsomt op!
Read your horoscope and give up slowly!
Der findes ingen Peter Pan
There's no Peter Pan
Og ingen lever af at lege hele dagen
And no one can live by playing all day
Det har jeg hørt så tit
I've heard that so often
Det har jeg hørt så tit
I've heard that so often
De si'r: Din lille filantrop, vågn nu op!
They say, You little philanthropist, just wake up!
Læs dit horoskop og gi' langsomt op!
Read your horoscope and give up slowly!
Op! (Kom nu, kom nu)[x3]
Up! (Come on, come on)[x3]
Kom nu, kom nu
Come on, come one
Kom nu
Come on
Du bli'r glad i længden for den gave
You'll be happy about the gift in the long run
Det klæ'r dine albuer med sådan et par rundsave
It suits your elbows with a couple of circular saws
Og her er bajonetter til dine skulderblade
And here are bayonets for your shoulder blades
Et værn mod verden, der' fuld af kulde og had
A protection against the world so full of cold and hatred
Og nu skal du husk' at knapp' jernskjorten
And remember to button up your iron shirt
Og du skal holde op med at være fjorten
And you must stop being fourteen years old
Drop de der drømme, de gi'r bagslag
Forget those dreams, they'll backfire
Livet er ikk' Martin Luther lagkage
Life isn't a piece of Martin Luther cake1
Det' den stemme, der bli'r ved med at snakke
It's the voice which keeps on talking
Jep, den sidder også i min nakke
Yup, it's in the back of my neck
Den har jeg hørt så tit
I've heard it so often
Den har kørt på repeat
It's been going on repeat
Det er skørt, det skidt
That shit is crazy
Det har ført for vidt
It's gone too far
Det bli'r ikke sandt af at blive gentaget
It won't become true by being repeated
Så jeg ta'r nålen af vinylen og knækker den plade
So I take the needle off the vinyl and break the record
Så nemt at gøre, hva' der bli'r sagt
It's so easy to do what you're told
Bare ta' den hånd, du får rakt
Just take the hand reaching out for you
Det har jeg hørt så tit
I've heard that so often
Men det her liv er mit
But this life is mine
Så hver en filantrop, vågn nu op!
They say, You little philanthropist, just wake up!
Og glem dit horoskop og gi' aldrig op!
And read your horoscope and give up slowly!
Så hver en filantrop, vågn nu op!
They say, You little philanthropist, just wake up!
Og glem dit horoskop og gi' aldrig op!
And read your horoscope and give up slowly!
Hver en filantrop, vågn op!
They say, You little philanthropist, just wake up!
Glem dit horoskop og gi' aldrig op!
Read your horoscope and give up slowly!
(Fuck you! I won't do what you tell me!)
(Fuck you! I won't do what you tell me!)
