15 minuter från Eslöv [English translation]

Dearest, darling,

I hereby announce that I won't be coming home,

because something strange happened

just when I was on my way to you on my new moped.

And I was only

15 minutes from Eslöv.

Oh oh oh, only

15 minutes from you.

I saw a glimpse of Eslöv's lights,

yes, I even saw your house.

And that was when it happened:

I'd got some shit in the carburetor.

It's true, I took the moped,

dragged it, to a little gas station that

was right nearby, it's true.

And I was only

15 minutes from Eslöv

Oh oh oh, only

15 minutes from you.

That1 gas station is run by a girl,

she fixed the moped, said "hello",

I said "OK".

She fixed my moped,

and I, I lay next to her.

She examined my spark plug,

and when she did that, I understood,

that that was it.

And2 the kiss she gave me tasted of gasoline mixed with oil with some added fat.

And I was only 15 minutes from Eslöv, only 15 minutes from you:

I don't want to hurt you, but my life on the gas station is sound,

and I'm stuck.

I will never, never, never, come back to Eslöv again.
