Lyrics of Når Et Lys Slukkes - Nik & Jay

Når Et Lys Slukkes (original)

Speedometeret viser 65, han kører igennem indre by
Asfalten er våd, hans Benz er forholdsvis ny
Et Rolex-ur bevidner om en sund økonomi
Han dufter, som han skal, hans hår er redt tilbage med gele
Han er en god mand, typen de fleste ka' li'
Men hvor han får sine penge fra, er det, de færreste der ve'
Det' det hurtige liv, livet i overhalingsbanen
Der hvor folk kommer og går, der hvor man sjældent ser hinanden
Der hvor de allerstørste drømme bli’r til virkelighed
Der hvor nogen når skyerne, og andre falder ned
Der hvor han mistede fodfæstet og kom ud i noget rod
Der hvor han havnede i et spil, som han aldrig helt forstod
Gaderne bli’r mindre nu, han skruer op for sin yndlingssang
En halvtømt flaske vodka under sædet ved siden af ham
Et ekstra tryk på speederen, han ser ikk' for godt ud
En tåre triller ned af venstre kind i takt med regnen på hans rude
Alt for høj promille i blodet, alt for mange tanker i hovedet
Rødt lys — han ser ikk' noget, bremseren i bund
Filmen knækker, han lukker øjnene, ved hvor det ender
Hører et brag, og lyset forsvinder
En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv
Der forsvinder på et øjeblik
Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes
Så tændes der et nytEn helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv
Der forsvinder på et øjeblik
Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes
Så tændes der et nyt
I dag har hun det faktisk næsten helt godt
Hun er selv overrasket for i så lang tid, har hendes liv været helt fucked
Siden hendes mand forlod hende for et par år siden
Hvor hun blev vraget for en yngre kvinde
Men i dag dufter alt anderledes, et lysere humør
Så hun får en manicure og går til frisøren
Og da hun forlader shoppen, ringer hendes mobil
Det' hendes datter, der har noget fantastisk at fortælle
Så de mødes i Kongens Have og omfavner hinanden
For mor og datter har virkelig savnet hinanden
Og fra bænken under træerne på alléen
Beslutter de sig for at snak' videre på caféen
Og de går ud af porten og ud på gaden
Og de' tæt omslynget for der' koldt i købstaden
Og datterens kæreste ringer, han slutter sig til dem
Og hun føler sig helt ung igen, når hun går der i midten
De' næsten ved caféen, da hun møder en veninde
Og siger til de andre, de bare ka' vent' derinde
Det' det sidste hun når at sige til dem
Før en bil smadrer over for rødt, direkte ind i dem
En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv
Der forsvinder på et øjeblik
Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes
Så tændes der et nyt
En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv
Der forsvinder på et øjeblik
Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes
Så tændes der et nyt
En mand midt i 30'erne, træder ind i sit hjem
Foran ham venter konen og en tiltrængt weekend
Hans ansigt bærer præg af, at hans profession er hård
Han er falckredder på tiende år
Han sætter sig ved middagsbordet og virker virkelig træt
Han rører ikk' sin vin og nipper kun til sin yndlingsret
Hun spørger ham forsigtigt, «Skat, er der noget galt?»
Han kigger ned og mumler, «Hmm, alt er vel helt normalt»
Men hun kender ham for godt, så hun spørger ham igen
Og denne gang bryder han sammen og si’r med gråd i stemmen
«Et forfærdeligt uheld, tre døde, en bil i brand
En ung mand, hans kæreste og deres ufødte barn»
Hun rejser sig op, hun holder om ham og trøster ham
For hun ka' mærke, at det her virkelig har rystet ham
Men pludselig afbrydes de af en barnestemme, der siger
«Mor, hvorfor græder far?
Far se her!»
De vender sig om, og de ka' ikk' la' være at smile
Der står deres fem-årige søn med maling over det hele
Han har en tegning i hånden, han siger, «Far, du må få den»
Den forestiller deres familie, og en sol der skinner på dem
En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv
Der forsvinder på et øjeblik
Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes
Så tændes der et nyt
En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv
Der forsvinder på et øjeblik
Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes
Så tændes der et nyt

(translation)

The speedometer shows 65, he is driving through inner city
The asphalt is wet, his Benz is relatively new
A Rolex watch testifies to a healthy economy
He smells as he should, his hair is straightened back with gel
He is a good man, the type most ka 'li'
But where he gets his money from is the few who know '
It's the fast life, the life in the overtaking lane
Where people come and go, where you rarely see each other
Where the biggest dreams come true
Where some reach the clouds and others fall down
Where he lost his footing and got into some mess
Where he ended up in a game he never quite understood
The streets are getting smaller now, he is turning up his favorite song
A half-emptied bottle of vodka under the seat next to him
An extra push on the accelerator, he does not look too good
A tear rolls down his left cheek in time with the rain on his windowpane
Too high per mille in the blood, too many thoughts in the head
Red light - he does not see anything, the brake at the bottom
The movie breaks, he closes his eyes, knows where it ends
Hear a bang and the light disappears
A completely normal day, a very special life
It disappears in an instant
But I believe that when one light goes out
Then a new, completely normal day, a very special life, is lit.
It disappears in an instant
But I believe that when one light goes out
Then a new one lights up
Today, she is actually doing almost perfectly well
She herself is surprised because for so long, her life has been completely fucked
Since her husband left her a few years ago
Where she was wrecked for a younger woman
But today everything smells different, a brighter mood
So she gets a manicure and goes to the hairdresser
And when she leaves the shop, her mobile rings
It's her daughter who has something amazing to tell
So they meet in the King's Garden and embrace each other
For mother and daughter have really missed each other
And from the bench under the trees on the avenue
They decide to continue talking at the café
And they go out of the gate and out into the street
And they 'tightly wrapped around there' cold in the market town
And the daughter's boyfriend calls, he joins them
And she feels quite young again when she walks there in the middle
They're almost at the cafe when she meets a friend
And tell the others they can just 'wait' in there
That's the last thing she can say to them
Before a car smashes in front of red, directly into them
A completely normal day, a very special life
It disappears in an instant
But I believe that when one light goes out
Then a new one lights up
A completely normal day, a very special life
It disappears in an instant
But I believe that when one light goes out
Then a new one lights up
A man in his mid-30s, enters his home
In front of him awaits the wife and a much-needed weekend
His face is marked by the fact that his profession is tough
He is a falcon rescuer in his tenth year
He sits down at the dinner table and seems really tired
He does not touch his wine and sips only his favorite dish
She asks him cautiously, "Honey, is something wrong?"
He looks down and mumbles, "Hmm, everything is probably normal"
But she knows him too well, so she asks him again
And this time he breaks down and says with tears in his voice
«A terrible accident, three dead, a car on fire
A young man, his girlfriend and their unborn child »
She gets up, she holds him and comforts him
Because she can feel that this has really shaken him
But suddenly they are interrupted by a childish voice saying
“Mom, why is Dad crying?
Dad, look here! ”
They turn around and they can not stop smiling
There stands their five-year-old son with paint all over it
He has a drawing in his hand, he says, "Dad, you must have it."
It depicts their family, and a sun shining on them
A completely normal day, a very special life
It disappears in an instant
But I believe that when one light goes out
Then a new one lights up
A completely normal day, a very special life
It disappears in an instant
But I believe that when one light goes out
Then a new one lights up
