Radio Paradise (mobile)

En ensam kvinna söker en man
Svar till "Hjärtat talar sant"
En pessimist i sitt livs form
Jag vädrar blod, det luktar sorg
En utomjordings kärlekstörst
En undran vem som svek vem först
Ät fett och socker tills du spyr
Eller blir en fyra-tonsmartyr
Sälj dig, sälj dig dyrt
Kom låna törnekronan min
Lid för konsten eller brinn
Jag slåss och håller kroppen varm
En dröm om mammas ömma famn
En utomjordings kärlekstörst
En undran vem som svek vem först
Och jag blir gärna en martyr
Vi behöver nog en ny
Sälj dig, sälj dig dyrt
Ett långfinger åt döden
Vi gick över lik
Och skylta' med vår kärlek,
Vårt rika inre liv
Men plåtarna till himlen
Var slut när vi kom dit
Och priset vi betalat
För att klassas som elit
Var att vi blev som dom andra
Vi blev som dom andra
Vi blev som dom andra
Vi blev som dom andra
Och vi kommer inte längre
Vi är tillbaks på noll
Men ingen kommer sörja
Vi har spelat ut vår roll
Vi glömmer hela skiten
Det betyder ingenting
Vi skulle kommit längre
Men räckte inte till
Vi blev som dom andra
Vi blev som dom andra
Vi blev som dom andra

Every language is unique and has its own 'hidden messages' swirling around the words, so you'll never be able to translate 1-to-1. But as far as I can see you did a great job. Agreed. Thank you, bikinikaratebabe. Even in English, the words have their own nuance and evocative presentation. I had never heard this before, but I like it a lot. More so now that I have an idea of what's being conveyed in the lyrics. Very interesting phrasing and some wicked-good imagery. Giving this a 7 until I hear it a few more times... [ Reply ]

Then everybody builds the same big honkin' house and the next thing you know you have a valley or hill side full of similar houses in what has become a boring low-density suburb. Now the place looks like crap... Sounds like the Eagles' "Last Resort" the way you describe it there ;) Different point of course, but still... [ Reply ]
savoyard Dec 01, 2008 - 08:55	Thanks for this translation. I always wondered what they were saying in this song. I wish they would do a few more songs in English, but maybe it's a lot of work to try and translate. I know that my Swedish bikinikaratebabe wrote: Thought i could give you guys a quick translation of the lyrics... It's quite hard to translate it because the lyrics are pretty weird in swedish too. it's one of ultimate favorite songs,but being norwegian I'm sure there are some of the sentences i don't translate right because of the slight differences in the languages.
