A popular television figure in DR´s childrens television series "Skæg med tal" (fun with numbers) and "Skæg med bogstaver" (fun with letters) - originally a swedish concept.

Hr. Skæg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Finland (Hvor er mine ting?)

Jeg har en masse ting
som nogle gange bliver væk
så må jeg atter rundt at lede
timevis i træk
Jeg leder til jeg giver op
men det er ikk' så slemt

for ting der er forsvundet
har det med at blive glemt

Det er tid til at lede
looking up, looking down
se fra side til side
looking under
and around
Finder ting uden navne
uden tid, uden hjem
Ting jeg glemte at savne
til den dag de dukkede frem

Selv mennesker kan godt forsvinde
andre steder hen
og det er ikke altid let
at finde dem igen
Men selvom tiden skjuler mange
venner jeg har kendt
så håber jeg de ved
de aldrig helt vil blive glemt

Det er tid til at lede
looking up, looking down
se fra side til side
looking under
and around
Finder spor i mit hjerte
fra de folk jeg har kendt

som jeg altid kan mærke
uanset hvor de tog hen

Jeg har en masse ting
I own a lot of things

som nogle gange bliver væk
Sometimes those things go missing

så må jeg atter rundt at lede
I have to search for them again

timevis i træk
Hours on end

Jeg leder til jeg giver op
I search until I give up

men det er ikk' så slemt
But it's not so bad

for ting der er forsvundet
Because things that are lost

har det med at blive glemt
Have a way of being forgotten

Det er tid til at lede
It's time to search

looking up, looking down
Looking up, looking down

se fra side til side
Looking from side to side
