Sömnlös i Skåne
Timbuktu Lyrics

Gsp, gsp.
An opening sound effect with no specific meaning.

Jag somnar sllan ltt nufrtiden
I have trouble sleeping easily nowadays.

jag tnker fr mycket r hetsk och frvriden
My mind is too active, and I am agitated and twisted.

det passerar mycket vtskor frbi en
There are many bodily fluids passed through me.

jag springer mellan toan och sngen gnolar refrngen
I run back and forth to the bathroom and bed, humming the chorus.

bollar med orden och tankar beatet blir p nattduksbordet jag bankar
I play around with words and thoughts, and the beat echoes on the nightstand as I tap it.

(ut ska bankarna som lagen bjuder)
(The beats that the law allows should be played out loud.)

natten r tyst och jag blir galen nr ljudet ndrar position typ tusen
The night is quiet, and I get crazy when the sound changes its position thousands of times.

gnger hundra planer beslut och nger
Countless plans, decisions, and ideas come to mind.

saker som hnder snt som kommer
Things that happen, things that come.

i smnlshet gr jag arton ronder
In my sleeplessness, I take eighteen laps around.

gr upp ur sngen ppnar ett fnster
I get out of bed and open a window.

fr pigg och sova men trtt p detta mnster
I want to be awake and asleep, but I'm tired of this routine.

tnder en cigg lunkar av och an
I light a cigarette and walk back and forth.

borde runka det funkar bra ibland
I should masturbate because it sometimes helps.

men internet r nere och min fantasi knns just nu som Sinai
But the internet is down, and my imagination feels like a desert.

jag mste hitta tiden och vila i
I need to find the time and rest in it.

fan snart ska jag upp jag har fr lite tid
Damn, I have to wake up soon, and I don't have enough time.

jag snar p att miljoner mnniskor r vakna fem tidzoner till vnster
I'm just realizing that millions of people are awake five time zones to the west.

undra hur mnga som har sex nnu
I wonder how many people are still having sex at this hour.

fett fr dom men jag blir knpp i huvet.
Good for them, but it drives me crazy.

hr tidningsbudet direkt p ljudet jag r tidigt ute i vestibulen
I hear the newspaper delivery person, so I'm early in the hallway.

jag ppnar upp och snackar med han
I open the door and talk to him.

men han r tung han har sjappat redan
But he's tired, and he's already done his job.

gr uti kket fr och koka vattenriktigt lngtrkig bok i handen
I go to the kitchen to boil water with my boring book in hand.

en kopp kammomill och smn r garanterad
A cup of chamomile tea guarantees sleep.

s pigg som jag r s tmmer jag vl hela
Since I am so awake, I might as well finish the whole thing.

stter mig funderar p ------
I sit and contemplate on ------.

nr jag inser att det r ett tobakspris
When I realize it's a price of tobacco.

shit d fr jag lgga mig och rkna fr
Shit, I have to lie down and count for it.

kanske nn timmes smn r skrad d
Maybe an hour of sleep is guaranteed then.

jag hinner blunda men kommer inte mer n till fyra
I manage to close my eyes, but I don't fall asleep until four.

nr jag kommer p att jag r sen med min hyra igen
When I realize that I am late with my rent again.

tredje gngen detta ret slutsovit jag gr och tvttar hret
I've overslept for the third time this year; I go and wash my hair.

borsta flabben, p med stassen frukosten bestr av tv glas vatten
Brush my hair, get dressed, and the breakfast consists of two glasses of water.

hur ska denna storyn sluta
How will this story end?

klockan r sju och jag ska ut p Mllevngstorg och kuta
It's seven o'clock, and I have to go to Mllevngstorg and run.

drar p mig jackan stter mig ner knyter vnster sko och sen... sen..
I put on my jacket, sit down, tie my left shoe, and then...then...
