Ankerstjerne "Lysbillede" lyrics

Translation to:en

Lysbillede

Jeg' fra en lille by midt i et lille landFra et kvarter, hvor vi lærte at kæmpe til sidste mandSøn af en sekretær, der blev skilt fra hendes mandOg lærte at overleve kun på kærlighed og kildevandI folkeskolen lærte vi om dét, vi ikke kanFor der' ikk' plads til alt for store drømme i et lille landOg hvis de si'r det nok, tror vi til sidst, det' sandtMen jeg ku' se på stjerner, sad med fødderne i kviksand

Malet på byens murer, ridset mit navn i træetLidt bål i gaden, så der var noget at efterladeOg vi gik aldrig i kirke, og snakked' ikke om GudMen jeg ved, min mor, hun bed en bøn, den nat jeg droppede udDet føles som den mindre by ble' mindre dag for dagOg jeg ku' enten blive kvalt eller stikke afOg til jer, der satte grænser for, hva' jeg ku' nåJeg lover jer, de næste par år bli'r svære at se på

Jeg' på en motorvej nu, føles, som bilen flyverLytter ikk' længere til tvivl; tvivl lyverLyset fra lygtepæle, der flyver over forrudenOg natten venter forude

I'm from a tiny town in the middle of a tiny countryFrom a neighborhood where we learned to fight to the last manSon of a secretary who got divorced from her husbandLearned to survive on love and mineral waterIn school, we were taught about all the things we couldn't do'Cause there's no room for too big dreams in a tiny countryAnd if they say it enough, we'll eventually believe it's trueBut I could see stars, sat with my feet in quicksand

Painted the city walls, etched my name into the treeBonfires in the streets so that there was something to leave behindAnd we never went to church and didn't spoke about GodBut I know my mother, she prayed for me the night I dropped outIt feels as if the small town got smaller day by dayAnd I could either have suffocated or run awayAnd to those of you who decided what I could achieveI promise, the following couple of years will be hard to observe

Now I'm on a highway, it feels as if the car were flyingI don't listen to doubt anymore; doubt is a liarThe light of lampposts rushing by above my windshieldAnd the night is waiting ahead of me
