Translation of the song Be bab a lu la artist tv·2
Be bab a lu la
Be bab a lu la
Vi elsker disse kolde københavnske nætter
We love these cold Copenhagen1 nights
Så højt som vi elsker os selv
As much as we love ourselves
Se hvor venlige alle smiler
Look how kind everyone smiles
Se hvor følsomt vi sammen slår tiden ihjel
Look how sensitively we kill time together
Og nogen brækker sig af glæde over livet
And some puke out of joy about life
I det nærmeste havnebassin
In the nearest dock
Mens andre morer sig lidt mere diskret
While others are having fun in a slightly more discreet fashion
Snakker verdensfjernt om det rene ingenting
Speaks unworldly about absolutely nothing
Ind til byen, hjem igen og la la la la
Into town and home again and la la la la
Op til baren, ned igen og hva vil du ha?
Up to the bar and down again and what do you want?
Hen til dig og væk igen og tra la la la - ja ja
Towards you and away again and tra la la la - yeah yeah
Begejstringen vil ingen ende ta
There's no end to the enthusiasm
Be bab a lu la, she´s my baby
Be bab a lu la, she's my baby
Op og ned af strøget
Up and down the street
Og hva var det, hvad var det du sagde?
And what was it, what was it you said?
Det er fuld fart frem uden at se sig tilbage
It's full steam ahead without looking back
Det er bevægelse på stedet
It's movement on the spot
Det er be bab a lu la
It's be bap a lu la
Be bab a lu la, she´s my baby
Be bab a lu la, she's my baby
Op og ned af strøget
Up and down the street
Og hva var det, hvad var det du sagde?
And what was it, what was it you said?
Det er spil for galleriet, det er utrolig godt gået
It's play-acting, it's incredibly well done
Det er film for millioner
It's movies for millions
Og sig mig, hva vil du ha!
And tell me, what do you want
Ind til byen, hjem igen og la la la la
Into town and home again and la la la la
Op til baren, ned igen og hva vil du ha?
Up to the bar and down again and what do you want?
Hen til dig og væk igen og tra la la la - la la
Towards you and away again and tra la la la - la la
Begejstringen vil ingen ende ta
There's no end to the enthusiasm
Be bab a lu la, she´s my baby
Be bab a lu la, she's my baby
Op og ned af strøget
Up and down the street
Og hva var det, hvad var det du sagde?
And what was it, what was it you said?
Det er fuld fart frem uden at se sig tilbage
It's full steam ahead without looking back
Det er bevægelse på stedet
It's movement on the spot
Det er be bab a lu la
It's be bap a lu la
Be bab a lu la, she´s my baby
Be bab a lu la, she's my baby
Op og ned af strøget
Up and down the street
Og hva var det, hvad var det du sagde?
And what was it, what was it you said?
Det er spil for galleriet, det er utrolig godt gået
It's play-acting, it's incredibly well done
Det er film for millioner
It's movies for millions
Og sig mig, hva vil du ha!
And tell me, what do you want
Og der står du og ser dig selv i øjnene
And there you are facing yourself
Drømmer om den helt store kærlighed
Dreaming about the greatest love of all
Mens andre veloplagte og med stor rutine
While others energetically and with great routine
Keder sig, og gaber kæben af led
Gets bored and yawns their jaws out of joint
Be bab a lu la, she´s my baby
Be bab a lu la, she's my baby
Op og ned af strøget
Up and down the street
Og hva var det, hvad var det du sagde?
And what was it, what was it you said?
Det er fuld fart frem uden at se sig tilbage
It's full steam ahead without looking back
Det er bevægelse på stedet
It's movement on the spot
Det er be bab a lu la
It's be bap a lu la
Be bab a lu la, she´s my baby
Be bab a lu la, she's my baby
Op og ned af strøget
Up and down the street
Og hva var det, hvad var det du sagde?
And what was it, what was it you said?
Det er billed uden lyd, det er lyd uden ord
It's pictures without sound, it's sound without words
Det er ord uden mening
It's words without meaning
Det er be bab a lu la
It's be bap a lu la
