Translation of the song lyrics En Morgen I Amsterdam - Lars Lilholt, Lars Lilholt Band, Oh Land

En Morgen I Amsterdam (original)

Jeg så dig en morgen i Amsterdam
Foran en husbåd, en algegrøn pram
Skyggerne flakked', du bad om ild
Gådefuld, lattermild, farlig og vild
Og en blå mandolin fra en gul coffee-shop
Spilled' blues, da solen stod op
Der er et sekund, hvor alting ka' ske
Hvor tiden står stille, og vi skifter ham
Der' altid en bøn, en bøn man ka' be'
Den bad jeg den morgen i Amsterdam
Jeg bad om dit hjerte, bad om et hvæs
Bad om en sang, der ku' synge mig hæs
Bad om en stjernenat af Van Gogh
Vidste, af dig ka' jeg aldrig få nok
Og i min erindring om fremtiden står
Du' her stadig og sætter dit hår
Der er et sekund, hvor alting ka' ske
Hvor tiden står stille, og vi skifter ham
Der' altid en bøn, en bøn man ka' be'
Den bad jeg den morgen i Amsterdam
Der' altid en bøn, en bøn man ka' be'
Den bad jeg den morgen i Amsterdam

(translation)

I saw you one morning in Amsterdam
In front of a houseboat, an algae green barge
The shadows flickered ', you asked for fire
Enigmatic, humorous, dangerous and wild
And a blue mandolin from a yellow coffee shop
Spilled 'blues as the sun rose
There is a second where everything can happen
Where time stands still and we change him
There's always a prayer, a prayer you can pray
I asked for it that morning in Amsterdam
I asked for your heart, asked for a hiss
Asked for a song that could sing me hoarse
Asked for a starry night by Van Gogh
I knew I could never get enough of you
And in my memory of the future stands
You're still here and putting on your hair
There is a second where everything can happen
Where time stands still and we change him
There's always a prayer, a prayer you can pray
I asked for it that morning in Amsterdam
There's always a prayer, a prayer you can pray
I asked for it that morning in Amsterdam
