Etta(original) |
| Förr färdades jag med strömmen och vinden i obönhörlig takt |
| Som sanden i timglaset |
| Nu har man lärt mig accelerera |
| Så kom, min Iris, låt oss ligga tillsammans i åtta G |
| Så som en ljuvlig mö faller i tattarens famn pendlar vi till Copernicus |
| Spindelvävens glob |
| En ständigt, i natten bortflyende |
| Skalbaggen i den mörka vedboden |
| Den nyaste metoden är att pendla |
| Aldrig mera raketstarter och brinnande gräs |
| Håll dig i mig, min Iris, som vore vi på tivoli |
| Håll mig i dig… |
| Så som en svärdfisk faller tillbaka i havet faller vi mot Copernicus |
| Nolla |
| (translation) |
| I used to travel with the current and the wind at an unrelenting pace |
| Like the sand in the hourglass |
| Now I have been taught to accelerate |
| So come, my Iris, let us lie together for eight G's |
| So as a lovely maiden falls into the arms of the tattar, we commute to Copernicus |
| Cobweb globe |
| A constantly, in the night fleeting away |
| The beetle in the dark wood shed |
| The newest method is to commute |
| No more rocket launches and burning grass |
| Hold on to me, my Iris, as if we were at a fun fair |
| Keep me in you… |
| As a swordfish falls back into the sea, we fall against Copernicus |
| Zero |
