Byens Hotel [English translation]

A sailor set out on a long journey

And the waves crashed against his ship

The dolphins leapt and the captain sang:

“You’ll probably return one day”

But the sailor thought of his girl

While days turned to years

He thought “Aye, I’ll probably return one day. But tell me when, oh when?”

And the girl remembered the very last dance

While days turned to years

Then she finally found a gentle lover, who felt like licking her wounds

And the ship sailed from one port to the next

Eventually, she forgot his name

But time passes the way it wants to

The ship moored one day

He got a cab to the city hotel

She saw him and lost herself completely

They reunited for a single night

A night at the city hotel

A sailor set out on a long journey

And the waves crashed against his ship

The dolphins leapt and the captain sang:

“You’ll probably return one day”
