Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hvad ville du så gøre?
Hvad jeg ville gøre?
Jeg tror jeg ville..
hæve lidt penge på min firma konto
løb ned og shop den bil jeg altid havde tænkt på
vink når jeg så min nabo, hallo
Jeg ville ha den pige jeg elsker ved min side
Køre ud mod vandet
Og ik ta noget forgivet
Jeg ville ringe til gamle venner og kærester
fortælle dem at de har gjort mig til den jeg er
kig mig i bakspejlet
og sig "hey det' godt nok"
sæddet tilbage, vinduet ned og volumen op
jeg ville gi en fuck
hvorfor jeg var her
bare smile og nyde, at det var jeg
jeg ville samle mine venner og familie op
og køre videre ud mod vandet i en samlet flok
så ville jeg tænkte på om jeg havde givet nok igen
til dem der har givet mig så meget af dem
jeg ville pakere bilen midt ude på vejen
og der sku være musik, yo, min egen
og alle ville smile og bounce med hinanden
barbarque og kæmpe bål på stranden
jeg ville sige til mine brødre at jeg er stolt af dem
at de sku forstå hvor meget jeg virkelig holder af dem
jeg ville sige til min mor og far at jeg elsker dem
og spørge dem om de ik sku prøve at finde sammen igen
fortælle mine venner at jeg tror på
vores kærlighed er større end man kan sætte ord på
og jeg ville finde min kvinde og sige til hende
at jeg havde lyst til at leve videre i hende
og solen ville gå ned over vandet
mens jeg røg en sidste blå kings
drak et sidste glas rødvin
vind i håret
rockstar briller på
23 år
vi ses mit dannebrog
En dag tilbage
lev mens du gør det
elsk mens du tør det
En dag tilbage
lev mens du gør det
elsk mens du tør det
En dag tilbage
lev mens du gør det
elsk mens du tør det
En dag tilbage
lev mens du gør det
elsk mens du tør det
En dag tilbage
Jeg ville egentlig ik vide hva jeg sku gøre af mig selv
måske kig mig lidt i spejlet, slå tiden lidt ihjel
forlade mit hjem med mit ynglings gear på
de hvideste snicks og cap'en lidt på skrå
jeg ville la bilen stå
og bare slentre gennem kbh
tænke over om jeg havde nået lidt af alt det jeg ville nå
om jeg havde sat pris på det jeg fik
om jeg havde givet for lidt
og ønske jeg ku nå at takke dem der føler vores shit
videre uden de helt store stop
I don't know, måske et sidste måltid på tacco shop
gøre ting jeg normalt ik gør
stop den smukkeste pige
og forføre hende som jeg aldrig havde gjort det før
ta ud forbi mit barndomshjem
fortæl min mor, min far, mine tre brødre
at jeg virkelig elsker dem
jeg ville samle mit team, mine venner
og sige at jeg et eller andet sted ved vi ses igen alle sammen
jeg ville hit foran en club
se godt ud
spille lidt smart
intet andet end love
og et dankort i pendul fart
og jeg ville pop den dyreste champagne
sige til mig selv "vi gjorde det fandme"
forlade stedet
uden at sige det til nogen
med et enkelt glas i hånden
og en slukket telefon
grine lidt for mig selv over en joke vi havde engang
inderst inde nok også være en lille smule bange
dedikere en sidste tanke til min familie og mit crew
og til pigen i mit liv jeg ik har fundet endnu
velvidende om at hun er derude et sted
men fuck nu det
jeg har fået så meget med
og jeg føler det hele, mer' end nogensinde
med nexus på brystet
og oprejst pande
og jeg er alene med mig selv
jeg har det sq godt
og forlader dette sted inden solen står op

Okay, hvis du fik at vide du havde en dag tilbage at leve i
Imagine if you were told that you only had one day left to live
hvad ville du så gøre?
What would you do then?
Hvad jeg ville gøre?
What would I do?
Jeg tror jeg ville..
I think I would..
hæve lidt penge på min firma konto
Withdraw some money from my business account
løb ned og shop den bil jeg altid havde tænkt på
Run down and buy the car I've always dreamed of
vink når jeg så min nabo, hallo
Wave at my neighbor when I see them, hello
yo, bilen er ny og 24 tommer allo
Yo, the car is new and has 24-inch wheels
Jeg ville ha den pige jeg elsker ved min side
I would want the girl I love by my side
Køre ud mod vandet
Drive towards the water
Og ik ta noget forgivet
And not take anything for granted
Jeg ville ringe til gamle venner og kærester
I would call old friends and exes
fortælle dem at de har gjort mig til den jeg er
Tell them that they have made me who I am
kig mig i bakspejlet
Look at myself in the rearview mirror
og sig "hey det' godt nok"
And say "hey, that's good enough"
sæddet tilbage, vinduet ned og volumen op
Lean back, roll down the window, and turn up the volume
jeg ville gi en fuck
I would not care
hvorfor jeg var her
Why I am here
bare smile og nyde, at det var jeg
Just smile and enjoy that it was me
jeg ville samle mine venner og familie op
I would gather my friends and family
og køre videre ud mod vandet i en samlet flok
And drive further towards the water as a group
så ville jeg tænkte på om jeg havde givet nok igen
Then I would think about whether I had given enough back
til dem der har givet mig så meget af dem
To those who have given me so much of themselves
jeg ville pakere bilen midt ude på vejen
I would park the car in the middle of the road
og der sku være musik, yo, min egen
And there would be music, yo, my own
og alle ville smile og bounce med hinanden
And everyone would smile and bounce together
barbarque og kæmpe bål på stranden
Barbecue and a huge bonfire on the beach
jeg ville sige til mine brødre at jeg er stolt af dem
I would tell my brothers that I am proud of them
at de sku forstå hvor meget jeg virkelig holder af dem
That they should understand how much I truly love them
jeg ville sige til min mor og far at jeg elsker dem
I would tell my mother and father that I love them
og spørge dem om de ik sku prøve at finde sammen igen
And ask them if they shouldn't try to reconcile
fortælle mine venner at jeg tror på
Tell my friends that I believe in
vores kærlighed er større end man kan sætte ord på
That our love is greater than words can describe
og jeg ville finde min kvinde og sige til hende
And I would find my woman and tell her
at jeg havde lyst til at leve videre i hende
That I wanted to live on through her
og solen ville gå ned over vandet
And the sun would set over the water
mens jeg røg en sidste blå kings
While I smoked a last blue Kings cigarette
drak et sidste glas rødvin
Drank a last glass of red wine
vind i håret
Wind in my hair
rockstar briller på
Rockstar sunglasses on
23 år
23 years old
vi ses mit dannebrog
Goodbye my Danish flag
En dag tilbage
One day left
lev mens du gør det
Live while you do it
elsk mens du tør det
Love while you dare
Jeg ville egentlig ik vide hva jeg sku gøre af mig selv
I would actually not know what to do with myself
måske kig mig lidt i spejlet, slå tiden lidt ihjel
Maybe look at myself in the mirror, pass the time a little
forlade mit hjem med mit ynglings gear på
Leave my home wearing my favorite gear
de hvideste snicks og cap'en lidt på skrå
The whitest sneakers and the cap tilted slightly
jeg ville la bilen stå
I would leave the car behind
og bare slentre gennem kbh
And just stroll through Copenhagen
tænke over om jeg havde nået lidt af alt det jeg ville nå
Think about whether I had achieved some of the things I wanted to achieve
om jeg havde sat pris på det jeg fik
If I had appreciated what I got
om jeg havde givet for lidt
If I had given too little
og ønske jeg ku nå at takke dem der føler vores shit
And wish I could thank those who appreciate our music
videre uden de helt store stop
Continuing without any major stops
I don't know, måske et sidste måltid på tacco shop
I don't know, maybe a last meal at the taco shop
gøre ting jeg normalt ik gør
Doing things I wouldn't normally do
stop den smukkeste pige
Approach the most beautiful girl
og forføre hende som jeg aldrig havde gjort det før
And seduce her like I had never done before
ta ud forbi mit barndomshjem
Go visit my childhood home
fortæl min mor, min far, mine tre brødre
Tell my mother, my father, my three brothers
at jeg virkelig elsker dem
That I really love them
jeg ville samle mit team, mine venner
I would gather my team, my friends
og sige at jeg et eller andet sted ved vi ses igen alle sammen
And say that somewhere deep down, I know we'll all meet again
jeg ville hit foran en club
I would hang out in front of a club
se godt ud
Look good
spille lidt smart
Act a bit cool
intet andet end love
Nothing but love
og et dankort i pendul fart
And a credit card in rapid motion
og jeg ville pop den dyreste champagne
And I would pop the most expensive champagne
sige til mig selv "vi gjorde det fandme"
Say to myself "we fucking did it"
forlade stedet
Leave the place
uden at sige det til nogen
Without telling anyone
med et enkelt glas i hånden
With a single glass in hand
og en slukket telefon
And a turned off phone
grine lidt for mig selv over en joke vi havde engang
Laugh a bit to myself over a joke we had once
inderst inde nok også være en lille smule bange
Deep down, probably also be a little bit scared
dedikere en sidste tanke til min familie og mit crew
Dedicate a last thought to my family and my crew
og til pigen i mit liv jeg ik har fundet endnu
And to the girl in my life I haven't found yet
velvidende om at hun er derude et sted
Knowing that she is out there somewhere
men fuck nu det
But fuck it now
jeg har fået så meget med
I have experienced so much
og jeg føler det hele, mer' end nogensinde
And I feel it all, more than ever
med nexus på brystet
With Nexus on my chest
og oprejst pande
And an upright forehead
og jeg er alene med mig selv
And I am alone with myself
jeg har det sq godt
I feel fucking good
og forlader dette sted inden solen står op
And leave this place before the sun rises

Okay, if you were told you had a day left to live in
What would you do then?
What would I do?
I think I would
Withdraw some money into my company account
Run down and shop 'the car I had always thought of
Wink ', when I saw my neighbor, "Hello"
Yo, the car is new and 24 inches allu
I wanted the girl I love by my side
Drive out towards the water and do not 'take' anything forgiven
I would call old friends and girlfriends
Tell them they made me who I am
Look at me in the rearview mirror and say, "Hey that's good enough"
Seat back, window down and volume up
I wanted to give a fuck why I was here
Just smile and enjoy that it was me
I wanted to pick up my friends and family
And drive on towards the water in a united flock
Then I would wonder if I had given enough again
To those who have given me so much of them
I wanted to park the car in the middle of the road
And there's going to be music, yo, my own
And everyone would smile and bounce with each other
Barbecue and huge bonfire on the beach
I would say to my brothers that I am proud of them
That they should understand how much I really care about them
I would say to my mom and dad that I love them
And ask them if they will not try to find each other again
Tell my friends that I believe in
Our love is greater than one can put into words
And I would find my woman and say to her
That I wanted to live on in her
And the sun would go down over the water while I smoked one last Blue Kings
Drank one last glass of red wine
Wind in the hair, rockstar glasses on
23 years, we see my Dannebrog
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
I really did not want to know exactly what to do with myself
Maybe look at me a little in the mirror, kill time a little
Leaving my home with my favorite gear on
The whitest snicks and the cap a little at an angle
I would leave the car and just stroll through KBH
And think about whether I had achieved a little of everything I wanted to achieve
Whether I had appreciated what I got, whether I had given too little
And I wish I could thank those who feel our shit
Further without the really big stops
I do not know, maybe one last meal at the Taco Shop
Doing things I do not normally do
Stop 'the most beautiful girl and seduce her like I had never done before
Take me past my childhood home
Tell my mom, my dad, my three brothers that I really love them
I wanted to assemble my team, my friends
And to say that I know somewhere we will all see each other again
I wanted to hit in front of a club, look good and play a little smart
Nothing but laws and a Dankort in shuttle service
And I would pop 'the most expensive champagne
Say to myself, "We did that damn thing"
Leave the place without telling anyone
With a single glass in hand and an off phone
Laugh a little to myself over a joke we once had
Deep down, I'm probably a little scared, too
Dedicate one last thought to my family and my crew
And to the girl in my life I have not yet found
Knowing she's out there somewhere
But now fuck what I've got so much with
And I feel it all, more 'than ever
With Nexus on chest and erect forehead
And I 'alone with myself, I'm damn well
And leave this place before the sun rises
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left
One day left
One day left
One day left
live while you can, love while you can
One day left

I used to listen to this song a lot when I was in Denmark in 2004. I was a small kid back then. Just 10 years old. Searched for this song after coming back to Sri Lanka but since it was in Danish I couldn't find it. 16 years later, I accidentally came across this today. Found out it has a nice meaning too. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️
@hektozrex8669
the song didn't exist in 2004?
