Lyrics of Venner for Altid - Rasmus Seebach

Venner for Altid (original)

Jeg husker jeg løb fra de store i gården
Jeg husker jeg snublede og faldt
Skikkelser skærmede for solen fra oven
Jeg troede mine dage var talte
Jeg husker du stillede op
Du sagde, «Pas nu jer selv — la' ham være»
Du sagde, «Nu har han fået nok
I' fire mod én — det' ikk' fair»
Det stod klart at vi sku' være
Venner for altid
Vi svor om broderskab og ære
Om venner for altid
Ååh, venner for altid, ååh
Fra drengene der leger til dumme drengestreger
Der blev vilder' som årene gik
Det gik som det plejer;
med røg og med bajere
Men for dig kom en dag, det slog klik
Jeg sagde, «Hey, slap nu af
Pas nu på dig selv, tag det roligt»
Men du ville ikk' se tilbage
At vi holdt' sammen var egentlig utroligt
Men det stod klart at vi sku' være
Venner for altid
Vi svor om broderskab og ære
Om venner for altid
Ååh, venner for altid, ååh
Vi forstod nok aldrig helt hva' du løb fra
Kun at du havde brug for at bedøve dig
Fuld fart ud i natten den forkerte vej
Vi troede vi havde mistet dig
Du ville altid helt ud til kanten
Vi troede du tog springet, da du fandt den
Fuld fart ud i natten den forkerte vej
Tænk, vi troede vi havde mistet dig
Vi mødes måske et par gange om året
For alting det går jo så stærkt
Historier fortælles, dem har vi tilfælles
Men vi har et liv hver især
Men efter en time eller to
Når vinen og minderne flyder
Så' vi tilbage i gården på skolen
Og ligemeget hvor tåbeligt det lyder
Så vil vi altid være
Venner for altid
Vi sværger broderskab og ære
Vi' venner for altid
Ååh, venner for altid, ååh

(translation)

I remember I ran from the big ones in the yard
I remember I stumbled and fell
Figures shielded from the sun from above
I thought my days were numbered
I remember you lined up
You said, "Take care of yourself now - let him be"
You said, 'Now he's had enough
I 'four against one - it' ikk 'fair »
It was clear that we should be
Friends forever
We swore brotherhood and honor
About friends forever
Oh, friends forever, oh
From the boys playing to stupid pranks
It got wild 'as the years went by
It went as usual;
with smoke and with beers
But for you, a day came, it clicked
I said, 'Hey, relax now
Now take care of yourself, take it easy »
But you would not look back
That we stayed together was really incredible
But it was clear that we should be
Friends forever
We swore brotherhood and honor
About friends forever
Oh, friends forever, oh
We probably never quite understood what you're running from
Only that you needed to stun yourself
Full speed out into the night the wrong way
We thought we had lost you
You would always go all the way to the edge
We thought you took the plunge when you found it
Full speed out into the night the wrong way
Think, we thought we had lost you
We meet maybe a couple of times a year
For everything it goes so fast
Stories are told, we have them in common
But we each have a life
But after an hour or two
When the wine and memories flow
Then we're back in the yard at school
And no matter how silly it sounds
Then we will always be
Friends forever
We swear brotherhood and honor
We're friends forever
Oh, friends forever, oh
