Translation of the song lyrics By'n Æ Bor I - D.D.E.

By'n Æ Bor I (original)

Kan æ få vis dæ by’n æ bor i
Veit æ du vil bli glad i’n
Vil du bli med gjennom by’n æ går tur i
Ska du nok trives bra i’n
Hand i hand ska vi gå gjennom gatan
Og finn oss en røykfylt kafe
Men æ veit itj kæm — æ veit itj kor hen du e
Kanskje står du attmed et samleband i Detroit, USA
Kanskje driv du svartebørs på gata i Moskva
Eller kjøre som drosjesjåfør i skyggen av Notre Dame
Kanskje går du arbeidslaus og driv langs kaian i Amsterdam
Kan æ få vis dæ by’n æ bor i
Veit æ du vil bli glad i’n
Vil du bli med gjennom by’n æ går tur i
Ska du nok trives bra i’n
Kinn mot kinn ska vi sett oppå «Klompen»
Og sjå på at sola går ned
Men æ veit itj kæm — æ veit itj kor hen du e
Du bøye dæ og plukke en blomsterbukett i Sarajevo
Du sjer unga som leike på gata i Rio de Janeiro
Du syng allsang over en øl på en pub i Belfast
På en parkbenk i Jerusalem tar du pause fra jag og mas
Kan æ få vis dæ by’n æ bor i
Veit æ du vil bli glad i’n
Vil du bli med gjennom by’n æ går tur i
Ska du nok trivas bra i’n
Hud mot hud ska vi gå inn i natta
Og natta ska vi ha i fred
Men æ veit itj kæm — æ veit itj kor hen du e

By'n Æ Bor I (translation)

Can you show me the city you live in?
Veit æ you will love it
Do you want to join us through the city æ go for a walk
Are you going to feel good in it?
Hand in hand we will walk through the street
And find us a smoky cafe
But I don't know where you are - I don't know where you are
Maybe you're standing next to a rally band in Detroit, USA
Maybe you run a black market on the streets of Moscow
Or drive as a taxi driver in the shadow of Notre Dame
Maybe you're unemployed and drifting along the quay in Amsterdam
Can you show me the city you live in?
Veit æ you will love it
Do you want to join us through the city æ go for a walk
Are you going to feel good in it?
Cheek to cheek we shall sit on top of "Klompen"
And watch the sun go down
But I don't know where you are - I don't know where you are
You bend over and pick a bouquet of flowers in Sarajevo
You see young people playing in the streets of Rio de Janeiro
You sing along over a beer in a pub in Belfast
On a park bench in Jerusalem you take a break from the hustle and bustle
Can you show me the city you live in?
Veit æ you will love it
Do you want to join us through the city æ go for a walk
Are you going to have a good time in it?
Skin to skin we shall enter the night
And the night we shall have in peace
But I don't know where you are - I don't know where you are
