Kokain
Lalla Carlsen Lyrics

Jeg er så glad jeg synes at hele verden er min
I am extremely happy and feel that I have limitless power over the world

traderade rullan dei
Repeated use of a nonsensical phrase to express ecstasy

For jeg har nettop tatt mig en en liten schnufs kokain
I have just snorted a small amount of cocaine

Jeg var på café med han Lammers
I was at a café with a person named Lammers

og fikk mig et pulver i schmug av en fyr
I obtained a substance in secret from another person

jeg tok det med hjem på mitt kammers
I took it home to my private room

da blev jeg så deilig og yr
I became extremely pleasurable and lightheaded

Alltingen seilet saktelig til min salige fryd
Everything drifted slowly towards my blissful joy

Bløtt gjennem eterbøljene stevnet senga mot syd
Through the waves of ether, the bed was sailing south

Jeg svevet så fri og så ledig
I was floating so freely and unrestricted

farvel Stortingsgata og "Sagene Ring"
Goodbye to streets named Stortingsgata and Sagene Ring

Jeg drømte jeg var i Venedig
I dreamt that I was in Venice

og svømte på gaten deromkring
And swimming through the streets there

I de azurblå bølger lot jeg mitt legeme gli
I let my body slide through the azure blue waves

Det var'ke snakk om her å bli tatt for løssvømmeri
I was not worried about being accused of swimming without permission

Nei, Welhaven kom som et "fata morgana" imot mig med roser i favn
No, a mirage of Welhaven appeared to me with roses in his arms

"Velkommen, velkommen til gata, du dronning fra islandets havn"
"Welcome, welcome to the street, you queen from the harbor of Iceland"

Over lagunen svevet hr. Wilhelm Olsen på hjul
Mr. Wilhelm Olsen floated above the lagoon on wheels

drysset "chateubriander" og små sosisser og fugl
He sprinkled chateubriand steak and small sausages and birds

Til dansens palats blev jeg båret
I was carried to the palace of dance

vedgullporten der stod hr. Pålsen så trinn
By the golden gate stood Mr. Pålsen looking so graceful

han bar hyacinter i håret
He had hyacinths in his hair

og enslige damer slapp inn
And only single ladies were let in

Han Casanova slo'an på mig og sa: "Hei på dig"
Casanova made advances towards me and said: "Hello there"

Jeg synes det var hr. Sveen som sa: "Bli med hjem til mig"
I thought it was Mr. Sveen who said: "Come home with me"

Jeg var i den gullpurpurkjolen
I was wearing a gold and purple dress

ifra Katharina av Medicis slekt
From the lineage of Catherine de' Medici

og den atte rodde gondolen
And the eight-oared gondola

var sjelveste Hannibal Feght
Was the great Hannibal Feght

Elskovens rus og edderduns dyne, egen lakei
The thrill of love and a down duvet, with a personal servant

Gyllen tokayer rissla som bayer ner gjennom mig
Golden Tokay wine flowed through me like a river

I brudegave till'a Tilla trilla inn en villa
A villa rolled in as a wedding gift for Tilla

ifra Casanova som sov som et svin
From Casanova who was sleeping like a pig

om natten hadde'n hatt en bitte bitten liten dilla
He had a tiny little addiction at night

det var kokain, kokain
It was cocaine, cocaine
