Barn Igen [English translation]

[Vers 1]

I grew up in those corners of Denmark

That people'd really rather move out of

But everything was okay anyway

Even though our finances were tight

I would wander aimlessly around

In the streets where we lived

And the nightingale would sing me home

To were my bed was

[Chorus]

Let me be child again

I want to be child again

Let med be child again

[Verse 2]

The garden of the villas smelled

Like freshly mowed grass in August

In the heavy, still air

Of the summer rain

I dreamed about becoming

Something big some day

And here I am

Dreaming myself back

[Chorus]

Let me be child again

I want to be child again

[Bridge]

With the fragrance of asphalt

A ball on the luggage rack of the bicycle

Towards the horizon

And the sky was blue

And life was happiness

With the sun in my eyes

Let me child again

[Verse 3]

What more can you really say

When everything is said?

I'll remember you for ever

And all of what we had

Suddenly you were gone

Where did you go?

You should have been there

On the day I got back home

[Chorus]

Let me be child again

I want to be child again

[Bridge]

With the fragrance of asphalt

A ball on the bike rack

Towards the horizon

And the sky was blue

And life was happiness

With the sun in my eyes

[Chorus]

Let me be child again

Yes, I want to be child again
