Ring ring [Bara du slog en signal] [English translation]

The telephone is silent and dead

I'm standing there, it's almost like mockery

You don't call me and say "Darling" now, like you did before

Everything is so quiet now, compared to before

Nobody knocking on my door

The things that enticed me doesn't tempt me, no, like it should

Nothing amuses me right now

No-one else, only you

Ring ring, if only you gave me a call

Ring ring, the silence is so complete

Ring ring, scatter the anxiety that grinds

If I heard a call, I took a leap

My heart made a somersault, ding-dong bing-bong

If you rang--rang--rang me even once

If you rang--rang--rang me even once

That a telephone can be

Just as silent every day

If only, there was something wrong after all, but unfortunately

If only it made a sound

If only it didn't just remain silent

If I got rewards for a single prayer by our lord

Nothing amuses me right now

No-one else, only you

Ring ring, if only you gave me a call

Ring ring, the silence is so complete

Ring ring, scatter the anxiety that grinds

If I heard a call, I took a leap

My heart made a somersault, ding-dong bing-bong

If you rang--rang--rang me even once

If you rang--rang--rang me even once
