Translation of the song lyrics På ditt skift - Kaizers Orchestra

På ditt skift (original)

Sjå kva katten drog inn
Han trur han traff blink
Skøt seg i foten, kan ikkje gå uten hink
Sjå kva katten drog inn
Og det var en møkka kampanje
Du satte folk opp mot kverandre
Det lukter brendt av dine kastanjer
Sjå kva katten drog inn, katten drog inn
Det var på ditt skift Direktør, på ditt skift
Du gikk aldri i trappå, du tok heisen
Og brukte litå skrift i kontrakten
Og det var dråpen
Du skulle aldri tatt heisen, aldri tatt heisen
Katten drog deg inn og forsvant som en vind
Som en vind
Nå henger eg deg ut sånn at alle som ser inn i mitt vindu i mitt atlier, deg
De ser deg
Og en vakker dag skal en mann gå forbi.
Ser inn på deg med jævelens smil, meg
Det er meg

(translation)

See what the cat pulled in
He thinks he hit the mark
Shot in the foot, can not walk without a bucket
See what the cat pulled in
And it was a dirty campaign
You set people up against each other
It smells burnt from your chestnuts
See what the cat pulled in, the cat pulled in
It was your turn, Director, your turn
You never went upstairs, you took the elevator
And used small print in the contract
And that was the drop
You should never take the elevator, never take the elevator
The cat pulled you in and disappeared like a wind
Like a wind
Now I hang you out so that everyone who looks into my window in my studio, you
They see you
And one fine day a man will pass by.
Looking at you with the bastard's smile, me
That's me
