Translation of the song lyrics Gravøl - Jokeren, L.O.C., Niarn

Gravøl (original)

Jeg ta’r det, som det er
Har set så meget lort, yo
Min sjæl den deles her
Men når det stopper, ved jeg, hvor jeg er
Jeg har set dem komme, set dem gå
Set dem få deres boogie på, set dem stå
Forrest oppe i baren, indtil natten er omme
Jeg har set dem tabe deres terræn tomme for tomme
Set dem trække en kniv og gøre noget ved det
For derefter at splitte, hva' skal man sige til det?
Set dem tage deres ungdom for givet
Set dem vælge hårde stoffer frem for livet
Set dem alle med en isklump i maven
Ende I rendestenen, fængsel eller graven
Set dem gøre syge ting, fordi de ku'
Set dem på et gadehjørne, ser dem endnu
Har set, hvad livet det kan gøre ved en mand
Set mig selv I øjnene — har taget et valg
Set mig selv nede på knæ for den kvinde, jeg vil ha'
Og valgt at fyre op for rim I stedet for at fyre den af
Jeg ta’r det, som det er
Har set så meget lort, yo
Min sjæl den deles her
Men når det stopper, ved jeg, hvor jeg er
Jeg har set, alting blive som jeg ville ha' det
Set nitten bli' trukket og bare smilt af det
Hvordan nogle folder papir og bliver blinde af det
Set mænd gå fra konger til indsatte
Har set venner melde sig ind I klub 27
Og sige at de gerne vil dø uden at lyve
Jeg har set folk med knækket mod hælde spirt i deres blod
Og hoes fra hele kloden spytte og ta' den til roden
Har krydset og brændt broen, og sest dem skride uden
Gevinsten, efter de har knækket knoden
Har set folk miste alting med et smil
Set dem brænde pisset af uden ild
Har set forsiden fra bagsiden igennem røgen
Og oplevet 25 timer på et døgn
Har set dem hæve glasset for at smadre det
Men kun set et par stykker bli' hæderlig'
Jeg ta’r det, som det er
Har set så meget lort, yo
Min sjæl den deles her
Men når det stopper, ved jeg, hvor jeg er
Jeg har set alting klart i min bedøvelse
Hørt alarmen gå, uden det var en øvelse
(Set) Tillid blive knækket og kneppet med fjenden
(Jeg har set) At de si’r, der er lys for enden
Har drukket min del rød og modtaget nadver
(Jeg har set) Hvor I får jeres had fra
Har optrukket grænser og trådt over dem
Følelser, har såret dem, men også selv båret dem
Jeg har set deres silkebløde sind blive til læder
Set dem vinde priser og hæder og købe fede slæder
Set dem falde og famle i blinde
Set dem tabe kampen, mens de prøvede at vinde
Jeg har set dem sælge ud, har set dem falme
Set dem blive ved, selvom folk fik kvalme
Har set nogle af dem blive født på ny
Og vende hjem til deres barndomsby og søge ly
Jeg ta’r det, som det er
Har set så meget lort, yo
Min sjæl den deles her
Men når det stopper, ved jeg, hvor jeg er

(translation)

I take it as it is
Have seen so much shit, yo
My soul it is shared here
But when it stops, I know where I am
I've seen them come, seen them go
Watched them get their boogie on, watched them stand
At the front of the bar until the night is over
I have seen them lose their terrain inch by inch
Seen them pull a knife and do something about it
To then split, what's to say to that?
Seen them take their youth for granted
Seen them choose hard drugs over life
Put them all with a lump of ice in your stomach
End in the gutter, prison or grave
Seen them do sick things because they ku '
Seen them on a street corner, see them yet
Have seen what life it can do to a man
Look myself in the eye - have made a choice
Put myself on my knees for the woman I want '
And chosen to fire up for rhyme Instead of firing it off
I take it as it is
Have seen so much shit, yo
My soul it is shared here
But when it stops, I know where I am
I've seen everything turn out the way I wanted it to
See the nineteen get 'pulled and just smile at it
How some fold paper and get blinded by it
Seen men go from kings to inmates
Have seen friends sign up for club 27
And say they want to die without lying
I have seen people with the crack against pouring alcohol into their blood
And shout from all over the globe spit and take it to the root
Have crossed and burned the bridge, and seen them slip without
The win after they have broken the knot
Have seen people lose everything with a smile
Watch them burn the piss off without fire
Have seen the front from the back through the smoke
And experienced 25 hours in a day
Have seen them raise the glass to smash it
But only seen a few pieces become 'honorable'
I take it as it is
Have seen so much shit, yo
My soul it is shared here
But when it stops, I know where I am
I have seen everything clearly in my anesthesia
Heard the alarm go off without it being an exercise
(Set) Trust being broken and fucked with the enemy
(I have seen) That they say there is light at the end
Have drunk my share red and received communion
(I have seen) Where you get your hatred from
Has drawn boundaries and stepped over them
Emotions, have hurt them, but also themselves carried them
I have seen their silky soft minds turn into leather
Seen them win awards and honors and buy cool sleds
Seen them fall and grope in the blind
Watched them lose the fight while trying to win
I've seen them sell out, have seen them fade
Saw them go on even though people got nauseous
Have seen some of them be born again
And return home to their childhood town and seek refuge
I take it as it is
Have seen so much shit, yo
My soul it is shared here
But when it stops, I know where I am
