Der er ting, man må bøje sig for,
There are things you'll have to accept
hvis i morgen ska' bli' bedre end i går
if tomorrow is going to be better than yesterday
Der er slag, man bar' må ta', uden at slå tilbag'
There are blows you'll just have to take without striking back
Og der er ting, du ik' ka' løbe fra,
And there are things you can't run away from
det, du har fra din mor og far
the things you have from your mother and father
Der er ting, der går i ring rundt om ingenting
There are things going in circles around nothing
Hvis du er kommet for at slås,
If you've come to fight
for noget eller bare i trods,
for something or just out of spite
så ka' jeg ta', ufat'ligt mange slag, før jeg slår tilbag'
then I can withstand incredibly many blows before I strike back
Men der er ting, man må bøje sig for
But there are things you'll have to accept
