Translation to:en

Når et lys slukkes

Speedometeret viser 65Han kører igennem indre byAsfalten er vådHans Benz er forholdsvis nyEt Rolex-ur bevidner omen sund økonomiHan dufter som han skal,Hans hår redt tilbage med gele

Han er en god mandTypen de fleste kan li'Men hvor han får sine penge fraer det de færreste der vedDet er det hurtige livLivet i overhalingsbanenDer hvor folk kommer og gårDer hvor man sjælendt ser hinanden

Der hvor de aller største drømme,bli'r til virkelighedDer hvor nogen når skyerneog andre falder nedDer hvor han mistede fodfæstetog kom ud i noget rodDer hvor han havnede i et spil,som han aldrig helt forstod

Gaderne bli'r mindre nuHan skruer op for sin yndlings sangEn halvtømt flaske vodka under sædetved siden af hamEt ekstra tryk på speederenHan ser ikk' for godt udEn tåre triller ned af venstre kindi takt med regnen på hans rude

Alt for høj promille i blodetAlt for mange tanker i hovedetRødt lys han ser ikke nogetBremsen i bundFilmen knækker, han lukker øjneneHan ved hvor det enderHører et bragOg lyset forsvinder

En helt normal dag, et helt specielt livder forsvinder på et øjeblikMen jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkesså tændes der et nyt

I dag har hun det faktisk næsten helt godtHun er selv overrasketFor i så lang tid har hendes liv været helt fuck'dSiden hendes mand forlod hendefor et par år sidenHvor hun blev vragetfor en yngre kvinde

Men i dag dufter alt anderledesEt lidt lysere humørSå hun får en manicureog går til frisørenOg da hun forlader shoppenringer hendes mobilDet er hendes datterder har noget fantastisk at fortælle

Så de mødes i Kongens Haveog omfavner hinandenFor mor og datterhar virkelig savnet hinandenOg fra bænken under træerne på aléenbeslutter de sig for at snakke videre på caféen

Og de går, ud af portenog ud på gadenOg de er tæt omslyngetfor der er koldt i købstadenOg datterens kæreste ringerHan slutter sig til demOg hun føler sig helt ung igenog hun går der i midten

De er næsten ved caféen,da hun møder en venindeOg siger til de andre,de bare kan vente derindeDet er det sidstehun når at sige til demFør en bil smadrer over for rødtDirekte ind i dem

En helt normal dag, et helt specielt livder forsvinder på et øjeblikMen jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkesså tændes der et nyt

En mand midt i 30'ernetræder ind i sit hjemForan ham venter konenog en tiltrængt weekendHans ansigt bærer præg afat hans profession er hårdHan er falkredderpå 10'ende år

Han sætter sig ved middagsbordetog virker virkelig trætHan rører ikke sin vinog nipper kun til sin yndlingsretHun spørger ham forsigtigt:''Skat, er der noget galt?''Han kigger ned og mumler: ''Hmm, alt er vel helt normalt''

Men hun kender ham for godtså hun spørger ham igenOg denne gang bryder han sammenog siger med gråd i stemmen:''Et forfærdeligt uheld3 døde, en bil i branden ung mand, hans kæresteog deres ufødte barn''

Hun rejser sig op, hun holder om hamog trøster hamfor hun kan mærkeat det her virkelig har rystet hamMen pludselig afbrydes deaf en barnestemme, der siger:''Mor, hvorfor græder far?Far, se her''

De vender sig om,og de kan ikk' lade være at smileDer står deres 5-årige sønmed maling over det heleHan har en tegning i håndenhan siger: ''Far du må få den''Den forestiller deres familieog en sol der skinner på dem

En helt normal dag, et helt specielt livder forsvinder på et øjeblikMen jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkesså tændes der et nyt

When One Light Is Put Out

The speedometer displays 65He drives through the centre of townThe asphalt is wetHis Benz is relatively newA Rolex watch expressesa healthy economyHe smells like he's supposed toHis hair combed back with gel

He is a good manThe kind most people likeBut where he gets his money fromhardly anyone knowsIt's the fast lifeLife in the fast laneIt's where people come and goWhere you hardly ever see each other

It's where the greatest of dreamsturns into realityIt's where someone reaches into the cloudsand others fall downIt's where he lost his footingand got into a messWhere he winded up in a gamethat he never quite understood

The streets are smaller nowHe turns up the volume of his favorite songA half-empty bottle of vodka under the seatbeside himAn additional pressure on the acceleratorHe doesn't look too wellA tear trickles down left cheekConcurrently with the rain on his window

Way too high blood alcohol levelWay too many thoughts in his headRed light, he sees nothingBrakes downEverything falls apart, he closes his eyesHe knows where it endsHe hears a crashAnd the light disappears

A quite ordinary day, a quite special lifeThat disappears in an instantBut I believe that when one light is put outA new one is put on

Today she is actually almost feeling wellShe herself is surprisedCause for so long her life has been totally fuckedSince her husband left hera couple of years agoWhere she was dumpedfor a younger woman

But today everything smells differentA somewhat brighter moodSo she gets a manicureAnd an appointment at the hairdressersAnd when she leaves the shopher mobile ringsIt's her daughterwho has something incredible to tell

So they meet up in Kings Gardenand embrace each otherCause mother and daughterreally missed each otherAnd from the bench under the trees on the avenueThey decide to proceed chatting at the cafe

And they walk out the gateand into the streetAnd they are closely entwinedcause it's cold in the boroughAnd the daughters boyfriend callsHe joins themAnd she feel quite young againand she walks there in the middle

They are almost at the cafewhen she meets a friendAnd tell the others just to wait insideIt's the last thingshe gets to tell thembefore a car runs the red lightdirectly into them

A quite ordinary day, a quite special lifeThat disappears in an instantBut I believe that when one light is put outA new one is put on

A man in his mid 30'senters his homeBefore him awaits his wifeand a much needed weekendHis face bears the stampof his profession being toughHe's a salvage-corps man,going on 10 years now

He sits down at the dinner tableand seem really tiredHe doesn't touch his wineand only nibbles at his favorite dishShe asks him gently:"Honey, is anything the matter?"He looks down and mutter:"Hmm, I guess everything is as usual"

But she knows him too well,so she asks him once moreAnd this time he breaks downand says in a tearful voice"A terrible accident3 dead, a car on fireA young man, his girlfriendand their unborn child

She gets up, she holds himand comforts himCause she can feelthis has really shocked himBut suddenly they're interruptedby a child's voice saying:"Mom, why is daddy crying?Dad, look!"

They turn aroundand can't help smilingThere is their 5-year-old sonwith paint all overHe has a drawing in his handHe says: "Dad, you can have it".It depicts their familyand a sun shining on the them

A quite ordinary day, a quite special lifeThat disappears in an instantBut I believe that when one light is put outA new one is put on
