Lyrics of Nu Er Det For Sent - Nik & Jay

Nu Er Det For Sent (original)

Så sød, sik' et syn, fin og yndefuld
I sin sommerkjole, smuk som en sommerfugl
Du vender rundt, kigger på hende, prøver at holde det cool
Men du ka' ikk' holde øjnene fra hende, så hva' gør du nu?
Kender du det — du vender hovedet
Og du stopper op, fordi du ikk' troede
På det du lige så, det der lige gik forbi
Og det der fik dig til at sige, «Hvem?»
Og kender du det — du mister vejret
For et kort sekund og det' så svært
At få det ud af dit system, sidder fast i dit sind
Du ved jo hva jeg mener, ikk'?
Jeg så hende dreje ned ad Frederiksberg Allé
Med en kjole og en krop så vidunderlig
Og et blik i hendes øjne, så fængende, ja, ja
Som en sirene i det fjerne, der kaldt' på mig
Jeg var drejet, jeg blev ledt — hva' var det for noget?
Jeg prøvede at følge efter hende, men hun forsvandt fra mig, ja, ja
(Og der var)
Alt for mange ord jeg ikk' sagde til hende
Alt for mange ting jeg havde i sinde
Jeg ved jeg burde køre tilbage til hende, tilbage til hende
For jeg tænker på, hvor det her ku' ha' taget os hen
Og om jeg nogensinde ser hende igen
Jeg sagde ingenting og nu er det for sent
Nu er det for sent, baby
Kender du det — jeg følte mig som en fan
Som en storm, der kørt' rundt efter hende
For at prøve at finde ud af hvem hun var
Og hvor hun var på vej hen
Og kender du det — jeg gjorde ikk' noget
Kørt' bare alene, så byen på en ny måde
Var det spil fra galleriet, bare en leg fra hendes side?
Hey, det måt' jeg vide, ay
Jeg så hende stop' op på Vesterbrogade
Jeg var lige ved at falde ned af sædet
Hun var så betagende og hun gjorde mig glad, ja, ja
Som en sirene i det fjerne, der kaldt' på mig
Jeg var drejet, jeg blev ledt — hva' var det for noget?
Jeg prøvede at følge efter hende, men hun forsvandt fra mig, ja, ja
(Og der var)
Alt for mange ord jeg ikk' sagde til hende
Alt for mange ting jeg havde i sinde
Jeg ved jeg burde køre tilbage til hende, tilbage til hende
For jeg tænker på, hvor det her ku' ha' taget os hen
Og om jeg nogensinde ser hende igen
Jeg sagde ingenting og nu er det for sent
Nu er det for sent, baby
Jeg så hende på en vinterdag i Magasin
Hun stod ved kassen, smilede sødt i herreafdelingen
Du ved — et af de der smil, der virkelig rammer en
Jeg købt' en skjort', hun spurgt' pænt om hun sku' pak' den ind
Jeg syntes pludseligt, at det føltes virkelig varmt derinde
Hun var så smuk i sin nederdel og bare ben
Fik lyst til at ta' et billede nu og ramme det ind
Så det tydeligt for mig — hende og jeg i samme seng
Hva' nu hvis jeg brugt' 100 kilo på en fingerring?
Gik på knæ og sagde, «Tag mig som din ægtemand»
Problemet var at køen bag mig, den var alt for lang
Og inden jeg havde set mig omkring, så var jeg ude igen
Fandt mig selv hænge ud på trappesten
Prøvede at la' det gå, prøvede at vask' tavlen ren
Hva' nu hvis det var hende, der var den eneste ene
Jeg sagde ingenting og nu er det for sent, damn, damn
(Jeg ved at der var)
Alt for mange ord jeg ikk' sagde til hende
Alt for mange ting jeg havde i sinde
Jeg ved jeg burde køre tilbage til hende, tilbage til hende
For jeg tænker på, hvor det her ku' ha' taget os hen
Og om jeg nogensinde ser hende igen
Jeg sagde ingenting og nu er det for sent
Nu er det for sent, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby

(translation)

So sweet, what a sight, fine and graceful
In her summer dress, beautiful as a butterfly
You turn around, look at her, try to keep it cool
But you can not keep your eyes off her, so what are you doing now?
Do you know it - you turn your head
And you stop because you did not think
On what you just saw, what just passed by
And that made you say, "Who?"
And if you know it - you'll lose your breath
For a brief second and it's so hard
Getting it out of your system is stuck in your mind
You know what I mean, do you?
I saw her turn down Frederiksberg Allé
With a dress and a body so wonderful
And a look in her eyes, so captivating, yes, yes
Like a siren in the distance that called 'on me
I was turned, I was led - what was that for?
I tried to follow her, but she disappeared from me, yes, yes
(And there was)
Too many words I did not say to her
Too many things I had in mind
I know I should drive back to her, back to her
Because I'm thinking about where this could have taken us
And if I ever see her again
I said nothing and now it's too late
Now it's too late, baby
Do you know that - I felt like a fan
Like a storm running after her
To try to find out who she was
And where she was going
And do you know - I did nothing
Drove 'just alone, saw the city in a new way
Was it play from the gallery, just a play on her part?
Hey, I have to know, ay
I saw her stop 'up on Vesterbrogade
I was about to fall off the seat
She was so breathtaking and she made me happy, yes, yes
Like a siren in the distance that called 'on me
I was turned, I was led - what was that for?
I tried to follow her, but she disappeared from me, yes, yes
(And there was)
Too many words I did not say to her
Too many things I had in mind
I know I should drive back to her, back to her
Because I'm thinking about where this could have taken us
And if I ever see her again
I said nothing and now it's too late
Now it's too late, baby
I saw her on a winter day in Magazine
She stood at the checkout, smiling sweetly in the men's ward
You know - one of those smiles that really hits one
I bought 'a shirt', she asked 'nicely if she should' pack 'it
I suddenly felt like it felt really hot in there
She was so beautiful in her skirt and bare legs
Got the urge to take a picture now and frame it
So it was clear to me - her and I in the same bed
What if I spent 100 kilos on a finger ring?
Kneeled and said, "Take me as your husband"
The problem was that the queue behind me, it was too long
And before I knew it, I was out again
Found myself hanging out on the stepping stones
Tried to let it go, tried to wash the board clean
What if it was her who was the only one
I said nothing and now it's too late, damn, damn
(I know there were)
Too many words I did not say to her
Too many things I had in mind
I know I should drive back to her, back to her
Because I'm thinking about where this could have taken us
And if I ever see her again
I said nothing and now it's too late
Now it's too late, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
