Translation of the song lyrics Down at the Docks - Oslo Ess

Down at the Docks (original)

Down at the docks
Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks
Han så på meg sa:
«Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down»
Det er stille på kaia i kveld
Kun et par ensomme tankere helt for seg selv
Så møt meg på brygga ved pir nummer 5
Presis klokka 2 AM
Og jeg er oppvokst på brygga i Son
Men jeg har aldri vært utfor en slik situasjon
Babord blir bibord
Stranda på land
På tynn is ved Oslo havn
Og det er hvitevarer og sorte penger
De har alt du trenger her
Så sa han bare:
«Down at the docks
Down at the docks»
Han sa:
«Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks»
Jeg bare stod der og sa:
«Down at the docks?»
«Ja, down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down»
Og det tviler jeg ikke på
Han ga meg en lapp med telefonnummer på
Pluss førtifire, null fire tyve også åtte eller tre og noe mer
Og han sa: «Learn this number by heart
Og ikke fly rundt i byen gutt og tro du er smart
Lukten er av trøbbel
Smaken av spenn
En fiende eller en venn
Og det er hvitevarer og sorte penger
De har alt du trenger her
Så sa han bare:
«Down at the docks»
Han så på meg, sa:
«Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks»
«Hva faen mener du med
Down at the docks?!»
«Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down»
Fra New York til Rotterdam
Hamburg, Cape Town
Dubai til Birmingham
Med containere og kontraband
Det er San Antonio, København
Taiwan, Hong Kong
Fra East Bay til Oslo havn
Med containere og kontraband
Down at the docks
Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks
Du veit du finner meg
Down at the docks
Yeah
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down

Down at the Docks (translation)

Down at the docks
Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks
He looked at me said:
«Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down »
It's quiet on the quay tonight
Only a few lonely thinkers all to themselves
Then meet me on the pier at pier number 5
Exactly at 2 AM
And I grew up on the pier in Son
But I have never been in such a situation
Port becomes byboard
Beach on land
On thin ice by the port of Oslo
And there are appliances and black money
They have everything you need here
Then he just said:
«Down at the docks
Down at the docks »
He said:
«Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks »
I just stood there and said:
"Down at the docks?"
«Yes, down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down »
And I do not doubt that
He gave me a note with the phone number on it
Plus forty-four, zero four thieves also eight or three and something more
And he said, "Learn this number by heart."
And do not fly around the city boy and think you are smart
The smell is out of trouble
The taste of buckles
An enemy or a friend
And there are appliances and black money
They have everything you need here
Then he just said:
"Down at the docks"
He looked at me, said:
«Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks »
'What the hell do you mean?
Down at the docks ?! »
«Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down »
From New York to Rotterdam
Hamburg, Cape Town
Dubai to Birmingham
With containers and contraband
It's San Antonio, Copenhagen
Taiwan, Hong Kong
From East Bay to Oslo harbor
With containers and contraband
Down at the docks
Down at the docks
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down at the docks
You know you'll find me
Down at the docks
Yeah
Down at the docks
That’s where I’ll be found
When the deal goes down
