Lyrics of Egentlig En Danser - Kari Bremnes

Egentlig En Danser (original)

Æ hadde vorre ute
Æ va full av vin og prat
Æ va moden for en taxi
Æ har alltid vorre lat
Det va ingen bila ledig
Alle taklysan va sløkt
Sekkert snakka litt for mye
Sekkert flira litt for høgt
Æ gikk mot St. Hanshaugen
Det va ikkje langt å gå
Det va nye støveletta
De va akkurat for små
Æ fikk stansa en Mercedes
Æ va glad og lealaus
Æ va åpen for å skravle
Men sjåføren min va taus
Det blei nesten litt for stille
Så æ nynna på en låt
Så så æ plutselig I speilet
At sjåføren satt og gråt
Vi va kommet dit æ bodde
Og historia e sann
Her begynte han å snakke:
E du sanger, spurte han:
Æ e egentlig en danser
Men æ danse ikkje meir
Æ kan ikkje lenger danse uten ho
Vi va ett og samme trinn
Samme hjerte, samme kinn
Når vi dansa va vi èn
Og ikkje to

(translation)

I had ours out
I was full of wine and talk
I was ready for a taxi
I've always been lazy
There was no car available
All the ceiling lights were off
Probably talked a little too much
Probably a little too loud
I walked towards St. Hanshaugen
It was not far to go
It was a new boot
They were just too small
I had to stop a Mercedes
I was happy and lealaus
I was open to chatter
But my driver was silent
It became almost a little too quiet
So I hum a song
Then I suddenly looked in the mirror
That the driver sat and cried
We had come to where we lived
And history is true
Here he began to speak:
Are you singing, he asked:
I'm really a dancer
But I do not dance anymore
I can no longer dance without her
We were one and the same step
Same heart, same cheek
When we danced we were one
And not two
