Hemmet [English translation]

I have been and taken a blow again

at a home for people like me

They said, I needed to rest for a while

then everything should be fine

But I sleep with open eyes

and I rest with open mouth

And as widely I understand it is the opposite

that it becomes worse every second

LalalalaAlala..

The head nurse asks me nicely

"How are we today?"

I don't know at all how I feel

but she doesn't look like she feels good

So when I bow and whisper

that I feel well as I must feel

then she nods happily and gives me a laugh

and pretends like she understands

LalalalaAlala...

Today is tomorrow and yesterday is today

And there is nothing that differs them

If I have been here a month or many years

I can scarcely remember

But it is nothing, if one wishes for

something, one should want to get

they will come tomorrow, you will see

or it probably ended yesterday

LalalalaAlala..

Yes, in here everything is normal

which is abnormal outside

Therefore you must look and go carefully with

everything which you don't do.

when one plays in their game

and plays along in their game

Because in here, like there outside

the right is most often wrong

LalalalaAlala...
