Translation of the song lyrics Irene Mudder - Shu-Bi-Dua

Irene Mudder (original)

Hun bor på Ovengaden neden under vandet
Hun prøved' en masse steder, men ku' ikke finde andet
På store puder ligger hun og tuder
Irene Mudder
Det started' ellers lovende for lille Irene
Hun voksed' op på landet og var aldrig alene
For der var stalde og fyre, hun ku' knalde
Irene Mudder
Så tog hun ind til byen for at se noget nyt
Mødt' en masse mennesker og spist' en masse flütes
På værtshus hele natten med tilfældige mænd
Vi ka' næsten ikke kende Irene igen
Hun havde ikke let ved at finde melodien
(Der er sgu' næsten heller ikke nogen i hende)
Men så en mandag aften drak hun frit af vanvidsvin
Irene tumler rundt i den kolde by
Med smerter i sjælen og fødder som bly
Irene Mudder, dit liv er gået i kludder
Irene Mudder
Hun tog hjemmefra med en illusion
Om at få en masse venner, men fik sig ikke nogen
Nu ligger hun og roder i svinestien
Hun drak for frit af vanvidsvin
Hun bor på Ovengaden neden under vandet
Hun prøved' en masse steder, men ku' ikke finde andet
På store puder ligger hun og tuder

Irene Mudder (translation)

She lives on Ovengaden below the water
She tried a lot of places but couldn't find anything else
On big pillows she lies and hoots
Irene Mudder
It started otherwise promisingly for little Irene
She grew up in the country and was never alone
Because there were stables and guys she could knock
Irene Mudder
Then she went into town to see something new
Met a lot of people and ate a lot of flütes
In pubs all night with random men
We hardly recognize Irene again
She didn't have an easy time finding the tune
(There's hardly any in her either)
But then one Monday night she drank freely of mad wine
Irene tumbles around in the cold city
With pain in the soul and feet like lead
Irene Mudder, your life is a mess
Irene Mudder
She left home with an illusion
About making a lot of friends but not making any
Now she lies and rummages in the pig pen
She drank too freely of mad wine
She lives on Ovengaden below the water
She tried a lot of places but couldn't find anything else
On big pillows she lies and hoots
