Gaderne er Dine

Fremmed i en fremmeds land
Fejlpladseret i mere end én forstand
Her er ik' mer', jeg vil
Jeg sænker flaget, og ta'r af sted
 
For gaderne er dine nu
Det her er din by
Skik følge
Eller land fly
 
Vi fik sagt så meget
Af det, der ikke si'r sødt
Ordene der størkner nu
Og trækker mørkerødt
 
For gaderne er dine nu
Det her er din by
Skik følge
Eller land fly
 
Men jeg vender tilbage
Hejser flaget på ny
For når alt kommer til alt
Er det her os' min by
 
Men gaderne er dine nu
Det her er din by
Skik følge
Eller land fly
 
Translation

The Streets are Yours

A stranger in a stranger's country
Misplaced in more than one way
There's nothing else I want here
I lower my flag and head off
 
'Cause the streets are yours now
This is your city
Follow the customs
Or flee the country1
 
We got to say so much
Of the things that aren't said nicely
The words are solidifying now
And are pulling dark-redly
 
'Cause the streets are yours now
This is your city
Follow the customs
Or flee the country
 
But I'll return
Raising my flag anew
'Cause in the very end
This is my city as well
 
But the streets are yours now
This is your city
Follow the customs
Or flee the country
