Byens Hotel [English translation]

A sailor went on a very long journey

And the waves was all around his ship

The dolphins jumped and the captain sang

"You'll probably come home once"

But the sailor thought of his girl

And the days turned into years

He thought "Yeah, I'll probably come home once

But tell me when? when?"

And the girl remembered the very last dance

As the days turned into years

Then shy finally found a gentle lover

Who would lick her wound

And the sailor sailed from port to port

Eventually, she forgot his name

But time goes as time wants to

One day the ship put in

He got a taxi to the local hotel

She saw him, and forgot all about herself

They were together for a single night

A night at th local hotel

A sailor went on a very long journey

And the waves was all around his ship

The dolphins jumped and the captain sang

"You'll probably come home once!"
