Translation of the song lyrics En stefar - deLillos

En stefar (original)

La meg fortelle om en mann
En som jeg kjente godt som barn
Han giftet seg med mor da jeg var fem
Og forsvant da jeg var ca.
ti
Og kanskje var det ikke meningen
Men jeg ble svært glad i han
Han var snill, sint og morsom og tykk
Og ble ganske lett fornærmet
Nå har det gått, så mange år
Har nesten glemt at han fikk magesår
Men jeg husker varmen i hans stemme
Som om jeg hørte den i går
Hvis jeg tok med meg venner hjem
Så kunne han spøke fælt med dem
Men jeg sa alltid klart ifra at han ikke var min far
Men jeg var stolt alikevel
Og til og med min fars familie
Kunne ikke la være å smile
Mor holdt kontakten med sin eksmanns slekt
Fordi den nye mannen passet inn perfekt
Nå har det gått så mange år
Har nesten glemt mors hjertesår
Da hun kom hjem og hørte et lydbånd
Der han sa «jeg går»
Så selv om du snek deg vekk fra oss
Har jeg nok alltid tenkt til tross
At jeg er takknemlig likevel
For at du gjorde min barndom spesiell
Jeg er takknemlig allikevel
For at du gjorde min barndom spesiell

En stefar (translation)

Let me tell you about a man
One that I knew well as a child
He married my mother when I was five
And disappeared when I was approx.
ten
And maybe that was not the point
But I fell in love with him
He was kind, angry and funny and fat
And was quite easily offended
Now it has been so many years
Have almost forgotten that he got stomach ulcers
But I remember the warmth of his voice
As if I heard it yesterday
If I took friends home
Then he could joke badly with them
But I always made it clear that he was not my father
But I was proud anyway
And even my dad's family
Could not help but smile
Mother kept in touch with her ex-husband's family
Because the new man fit in perfectly
Now it has been so many years
Have almost forgotten my mother's heart wound
When she came home and heard a tape
Where he said "I go"
So even if you sneak away from us
I have probably always thought in spite
That I'm grateful anyway
Because you made my childhood special
I'm grateful anyway
Because you made my childhood special
