Pas på pigerne [English translation]

Mind the girls

Burhan G

Sometimes I get scared, of the world I've put you in.

I hope it's a place where there will be room for play.

For you're so small, we have not even taught you to count to ten.

And before we do that, everything may have changed.

There are so many things I would like to say, but the world you grow up in.

Is a different place than when I was a child.

And maybe one day you travel out into space, at a thousand light-years per second.

But then remember my advice when you arrive.

Because, you see, some things, they will always be the same.

Hey, whatever you do out there, mind the girls.

I'm sure they will tear down the walls if they really want to.

And if you must, then go.

A journey into love.

And take care of her heart the day she gives it to you.

For some things will always be the same.

My father has always said that you should look people in the eye.

Meet the world with a smile and reach out your hand.

He said, "Keep both feet on the ground, but don't be afraid of the heights."

I hope you'll just get a little bit with you of him.

And I could give you everything I know about the world.

In rhymes and strings of words, so you could learn them.

To the day when I won't be here anymore.

But maybe one day you travel out into space, at a thousand light-years per second.

I actually do not know what will happen.

So the best I can give you comes here:

Hey, whatever you do out there, mind the girls.

I'm sure they will tear down the walls if they really want to.

And if you must, then go.

A journey into love.

And take care of her heart the day she gives it to you.

For some things will always be the same.

I know very well that when you look at a picture of your mum and me.

Then we probably look like some who had a plan.

But we learned everything, along the way.

We arrived at it by guessing and we made mistakes.

In fact, no one really has an answer.

But should it happen one day, that you'll be in doubt, then you must know.

That you arrived here in love.

And the best thing I've done is to become your father.

So keep that in mind, in every step you take.

Although one day, I would have to leave here.

So keep that in mind, in every step you take.
