Lyrics of Titanic - Mikael Wiehe

Titanic (original)

Det brjade som en skakning p nedre dck
Det fyllde oss vl mer med hpnad n med skrck
Vi frstod inte riktigt orsaken till
Att fartyget sprungit lck
Man hade sagt oss att detta var vrldens modernaste
Osnkbara skepp
Du tog vrt foto av barnen, dina smycken och din hatt
Jag tog en trja
Jag tnkte att havet are skert kallt
Nr vi steg ut ur vr hytt och sg
Hur vattnet brjat strmma in
Sg jag en tr, eller var det kanske en droppe vatten
P din kind
Vi fljde pilar som angav rddningsbtens plats
Det var p versta dck fast det 'gentli'n var frsta klass
Vi var rtt mnga men alla tog det ganska lugnt
Det var vl bara en herre frn tredje klass
Som trngde sej lite dumt
Vi trffa en man som vi hlsat p frut
Han presenterade oss fr sin dotter och sin fru
Nr vi kom upp p dck, sa kaptenen
Att livbten inte gick att f I sjn
Det var visst kedjorna till n’n hissanordning
Som ngon hade glmt
Vi gick till baren och fick ett gratis glas champagne
Och vi sklade fr imperiet och fr varann'
Nu brja skeppet att sjunka snabbare
Och dess lutning var ganska stor
Mnga hoppade I vattnet
Men vi beslt att stanna kvar ombord
Sen lmna rttorna skeppet fr att ska sej mot land
Men vi stod kvar dr p dcket och hll varann' I hand
Vi tnkte, havet are alltfr stort och kallt och vilt
Och I dom btar som satts I sjn fanns inte plats
Fr en enda till
Sen spela fartygsorkestern Nrmare Gud till Dig
Det kndes lite fnigt men nd rtt typiskt
Fr just vr tid
Vi har frlorat den allra sista gnuttan hopp
Vi gr till botten dr vi str
Men flaggan, den gr I topp

(translation)

It started like a shaking on the lower deck
It filled us with more hope than fear
We did not really understand the reason for
That the ship ran aground
We had been told that this was the most modern in the world
Undesirable ships
You took our photo of the kids, your jewelry and your hat
I took a three
I thought the sea was very cold
When we got out of our cabin and so on
How the water started to flow in
Did I say a tree, or was it maybe a drop of water
On your cheek
We followed arrows indicating the location of the lifeboat
It was on the worst deck though it 'gentli'n was first class
We were quite many but everyone took it pretty easy
I guess it was just a gentleman from third grade
Who needed a little stupidity
We meet a man we heard from
He introduced us to his daughter and his wife
When we got on deck, said the captain
That life could not be f I sjn
It must have been the chains for a lift device
As someone had forgotten
We went to the bar and got a free glass of champagne
And we fought for the empire and for each other '
Now the ship begins to sink faster
And its slope was quite large
Many jumped into the water
But we decided to stay on board
Then leave the rights of the ship to go ashore
But we stood there on the deck, holding each other's
We thought, the sea is too big and cold and wild
And in the boats that were put in the sea there was no place
For one more
Then play the ship orchestra Nrmare Gud till Dig
It felt a little quirky but quite typical
For just our time
We have lost the very last bit of hope
We go to the bottom where we are
But the flag, it goes I top
