Lyrics of Blinkar Blå - Adolphson & Falk

Blinkar Blå (original)

P panelen ser jag lamporna som lyser.
Processens steg str under min kontroll.
Jag hller gonen p datorns analyser.
Hr har ovissheten spelat ut sin roll.
Kontrollen blinkar bl,
En signal fr det skra.
Kontrollen blinkar bl,
D r allt som det ska.
Om skrmen r normal
Finns inga skl att tveka.
Nr kontrollen blinkar bl,
D r allt som det ska.
Men i nattens tysta timmar har jag undrat
Vad som hnder dr tekniken inte ser,
Vad som dljer sig i tujatrdens skugga.
Och jag knner oron vxa mer och mer.
Men kontrollen blinkar bl …
Men det finns frgor datorn inte kan besvara,
Signaler som jag inte kan frst.
Det finns s mycket som vi inte kan frklara.
Det finns krafter som vi aldrig kan r p.
Men kontrollen blinkar bl …

(translation)

On the panel I see the lights shining.
The steps of the process are under my control.
I put my finger on the computer's analytics.
Hr the uncertainty has played its part.
The control flashes, among other things,
A signal for the scream.
The control flashes, among other things,
There is everything as it should be.
If the screen is normal
There is no reason to hesitate.
When the control blinks,
There is everything as it should be.
But in the quiet hours of the night, I have wondered
What happens where technology doesn't see,
What dwells in the shadow of the thousand-tree.
And I can feel the worries growing more and more.
But the control blinks...
But there are questions the computer cannot answer,
Signals that I can't understand.
There is so much we cannot explain.
There are forces that we can never r p.
But the control blinks...
