Title

Skolens HÃ¸jeste Snit

Source language: Danish

Det er ikke sÃ¥ lÃ¦nge siden, jeg sÃ¥ dig gÃ¥ gennem byen
jeg tÃ¦nkte, der gÃ¥r min barndoms prinsesse, et helt uvirkeligt drÃ¸mmesyn
Jeg husker dig som var det for altid, en uopnÃ¥elig pige klÃ¦dt i hvidt
og da du gik ud af klassen var det med skolens hÃ¸jeste snit

MÃ¥ske er der en sammenhÃ¦ng
som mellem forbryder og hÃ¦vner
â€“ det hÃ¸jeste snit tiltrÃ¦kker
laveste fÃ¦llesnÃ¦vner

Du tog for dig af chancerne og forhindringer blev skudt ned
du strÃ¸g forbi de andre i rÃ¦kken, der var ikke Ã©n som kunne fÃ¸lge med
Ikke fordi du egentlig Ã¸nskede at smadre nogen pÃ¥ din vej
men det var lissom om kortene var givet, den bedste hÃ¥nd gik til dig

MÃ¥ske er der en sammenhÃ¦ng
som mellem forbryder og hÃ¦vner
â€“ det hÃ¸jeste snit tiltrÃ¦kker
laveste fÃ¦llesnÃ¦vner

Altid pÃ¥ de sejrendes side
altid mere end sikker i din sag
Jeg tÃ¦nkte pÃ¥ om du mÃ¥ske kunne vide
at du styrede direkte mod det perfekte, det endelige
det store guddommelige nederlag?

PÃ¥ et tidspunkt glemte du at lukke dÃ¸ren og en tilfÃ¦ldig tvivl faldt ind
og lagde sig som en uafrystelig skygge i dit ellers sÃ¥ lyse sind
For mÃ¸rket er noget der kommer uanmeldt og en dag er det pludselig forbi
selv den smukkeste blomst risikerer at ende som Ã¥rets popmelodi

Title

The schoolâ€™s highest mark

Translation

English

Translated by

Target language: English

Not long ago I saw you walking through the town.
I thought there goes the princess of my childhood, quite a mirage!
I remember you as it was forever, an unattainable girl dressed in white.
And when you left the class it was with the highest mark of the school.

Maybe there is a coherence
like between criminals and avengers
- the highest mark attracts
the lowest common denominator.

You took your chances and the obstacles were shut down.
You swept past the others in the row, no one could follow you.
Not that you really wanted to smash somebody on your way
but it was as though the cards were dealt out and you got the best hand.

Maybe there is a coherence
like between criminals and avengers
- the highest mark attracts
the lowest common denominator.

Always on the winning side,
always more than confident.
I was wondering if you could possibly know
that you were heading directly for the perfect, the ultimate,
the greatly divine defeat?

At one time you forgot to close the door and an accidental doubt invaded your mind
and settled like an inescapable shadow in your otherwise so sunny disposition.
Because darkness is something that comes with no warning and one day it is suddenly all over.
Even the most beautiful flower risks ending as the pop melody of the year.

	Minny จำนวนข้อความ: 271	Hi Lilian Canale, I am glad that you like this translation. You have edited "were" into "was" two times. I have deliberately thosen "were", because in both cases I think we are talking about non-facts, if you see what I mean by that. (I cannot remember the word for the grammatical term). Regarding "I remember you as it was/were" I do not feel sure at all. Regarding "But it were/was as though" I go for "were" Anyway, let us see how the poll will react. ;-)
