Dancing Queen
Trond-Viggo Torgersen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl




Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

Kjære Gud, du er så grei!
Hvordan står det til med deg?
Jeg var slem mot mor i kveld,
men hun hadde skylden selv.
Alltid blir det som hun vil.
Be mor om å bli litt snill.

Bestemor fortalte nå
at du alltid hører på
hvis jeg ber om hva som helst.
Men Gud, hvorfor blir man frelst?
Hvis du ikke vet det, så
kan jeg spørre lærer'n og.

Tusen takk for alt du vet!
Hva er ekte kjærlighet?
Bestemor er veldig snill,
for hun vil dø når Jesus vil.
Si til Jesus, kjære Gud,
at han ikke sender bud.

Mor og far de ler av meg
når jeg snakker slik til deg.
Men jeg gjør det likevel,
så kan de la være selv.
Resten sa jeg visst i går,
hilsen Kjetil 8 år.
