Lyrics of Elektrisitet - deLillos

Elektrisitet (original)

Jeg så det på blikket til min bestefar
Og de va’kke fordi han var så gammel og rar
Da han slo på en bryter og ble imponert
Av at rommet ble opplyst av elektrisitet
Han hadde jo levet en tid uten strøm
Så han opplevde dette hver gang som en drøm
Nå kunne han styre over tiden sin selv
Og fortsette dagen til langt ut på kveld
Han gledet seg stort over utviklingen
Og følte nok selv at han deltok i den
Men det skjedde noe som var utenfor hans kontroll
Og dette kalte man en natt for Rock’n Roll
Unge mennesker begynte straks å dyrke seg selv
Ville ikke ta ansvar over styre og stell
Og verden ble nok aldri slik som den var
Da elektrisiteten ga sin makt til en gitar
Og noen trodde at de så på Jesus Krist
Der oppe på scenen han var solo gitarist
Og bestefar sa at de var noen fjols alle sammen
Idioter

(translation)

I saw it in my grandfather's eyes
And they woke up because he was so old and weird
When he hit a switch and was impressed
Because the room was lit by electricity
He had lived for a time without electricity
So he experienced this every time as a dream
Now he could control his own time
And continue the day until well into the evening
He was very pleased with the development
And probably even felt that he participated in it
But something happened that was beyond his control
And this was called Rock'n Roll one night
Young people immediately began to cultivate themselves
Would not take responsibility for board and care
And the world probably never became the way it was
Then the electricity gave its power to a guitar
And some thought they were looking at Jesus Christ
Up on stage he was a solo guitarist
And Grandpa said they were all some fools
Idiots
