Rock’n’Roll [English translation]

I don't want a car

I don't want to write a book

I don't want to meet the pope

I don't want to stay silent

I don't want to go

on Saturdays to Ikea and Jumbo

I don't want to raise

the flag to the pole on flag days

Come evening shimmer and the dark

Come soon and repeat my name when

I want to go where gangs scream

jump and roar until the rivers change directions

let me drown in rock'n'roll

the song coaches his singer

knows how I feel in the small hours

I don't want to run

faster than anyone else

I don't want to think

whether I'm 60 or 62 kilos heavy

I don't want to know

how to become intact

or how to knit socks

and bake really good pullaa (buns)

Come evening shimmer and the dark

Come soon and repeat my name when

I want to go where gangs scream

jump and roar until the rivers change directions

let me drown in rock'n'roll

the song coaches his singer

knows how I feel in the small hours

*Repeat chorus x2*
