Nitton år [English translation]

The dreams ended when school was over.

Was it really the way my future should be?

Nineteen years and left out and no one cares why.

My day has been so long, my night an eternity.

I go without a goal on a sea of loneliness.

But my body is young and strong;

Why won't you let me show what I know?

You can give me a chance, give me a hope,

give me something to believe in.

I want to have a task, I want to have a place;

I want to have a future.

I create nothing, people are a burden.

I blame myself, it is my very worst punishment.

You waste my only life;

Can it really be worth it to push me aside?
