De Vildeste Fugle [English translation]

I don't quite know exactly when

But some day, at last

I'll pull myself up by my hair1

And wash my black debt white

And you'll look at my without doubting

The tiny smile in my eyes

Saying without blushing the slightest:

You look exactly like yourself

And although you know that I always

Must go see the country in a hurry

You still know how the land lies

The traveller knows their destination

Yeah, he will be on time

He'll come almost exactly

When the wildest of birds have taken off

The last guest has gone home

When the last dance has been danced

He'll know his way home

And there are times when I ask myself

Why I must keep on

Chasing the white stripes

In a bus from place to place

But there are answers in every railway town

Along the straight country lane

We rush out from a truck stop

Before the doubt appears

'Cause tonight, the dream will have wings

After five hours of driving from here

The traveller will sing

About yearning in their body, about love

And if doubt's there

It'll only come when

When the wildest of birds have taken off

The last guest has gone home

When the last dance has been danced

He'll know his way home

When the wildest of birds have taken off

The last guest has gone home

When the last dance has been danced

He'll know his way home

When the last guitar as been put down

The last light has died

I may dream about you laying down

Like sunshine against my skin

No country lane will be closed

But I can get out for a while

Wondering how the birds

Even the wildest of wild birds

Find their way home

When the wildest of birds have taken off

The last guest has gone home

When the last dance has been danced

He'll know his way home

When the wildest of birds have taken off

The last guest has gone home

When the last dance has been danced

He'll know his way home
