Min Kærlighed Til Dig
Bamses Venner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jeg har trukket tusind spor
Jeg har lært af sorg og glæder
Hvad der dur på livets bord
Giv ikke gude mine drømme
Det vil vise vinter vej
De ka' tag hvad ved jeg
Men aldrig tag min kærlighed til dig
Det var det jeg ville sige
Hvorfor netop nu vi to
Det sku' li' være andet lige
Jeg for streg for sjælen ro
Her ved dine bløde lager
Har jeg alt jeg ønsker mig
De ka' tag min sidste krone
De ka' tag hvad ved jeg
Men aldrig tag min kærlighed til dig
Du kan sover ganske rolig
Også når jeg hjemme fra
Når jeg bor i fremmet bolig
Er retur billetten Klar
Du er med i mine drømme
Og du smiler varmt til mig
De ka' tag den sidste krone
Jeg skal nok finde vej
For ingen ta'r min kærlighed til dig
Ja De ka' tag min sidste krone
De ka' tag hvad ved jeg
Men aldrig tag min kærlighed til dig

Jeg har været tusind steder
I have traveled to many places
Jeg har trukket tusind spor
I have left my mark everywhere I go
Jeg har lært af sorg og glæder
I have learned from both sorrow and joy
Hvad der dur på livets bord
What works at the table of life
Giv ikke gude mine drømme
Don't dictate my dreams
Det vil vise vinter vej
I will find my own way through the winter
De ka' tag min sidste krone
They can take my last coin
De ka' tag hvad ved jeg
They can take whatever else they want
Men aldrig tag min kærlighed til dig
But they can never take away my love for you
Det var det jeg ville sige
That's what I wanted to say
Hvorfor netop nu vi to
Why now, you and me
Det sku' li' være andet lige
It could have happened under different circumstances
Jeg for streg for sjælen ro
I find peace for my soul
Her ved dine bløde lager
Here, with you, in your soft embraces
Har jeg alt jeg ønsker mig
I have everything I could ever wish for
Du ka' sover ganske rolig
You can sleep soundly
Også når jeg hjemme fra
Even when I'm away from home
Når jeg bor i fremmet bolig
When I live somewhere foreign
Er retur billetten Klar
I always have a return ticket ready
Du er med i mine drømme
You are always in my dreams
Og du smiler varmt til mig
And you smile warmly at me
Jeg skal nok finde vej
I will find my way
For ingen ta'r min kærlighed til dig
Because no one can take my love for you
Ja De ka' tag min sidste krone
Yes, they can take my last coin
Men aldrig tag min kærlighed til dig
But they can never take away my love for you
