Botanisk Hage [English translation]

[Verse 1]

The animals don't follow after

There's only animal skeletons

Welcome, no expensive/animal* tickets

Out again before twelve o'clock

There they visit some nights

in a million fine colours

Up on the flower beds they run and there

imagine themselves concrete

Ordinary evenings just that no one has a clue anymore

You can look at the pond, gotta pay for the pool

Nothin' you stand upon is of common terrain

So I hide away and make it a habit when it closes

To join an evening or day tour

We can look at hemp in a hash cage**

You can still hear people and cars

Between the summer birds, the bushes and nature

Sniff pink rhododendrons

But you shouldn't walk on the rocks

Then the part-time guard gives you a talking to

And talks to you like that's somethin' you should count on

No people here when it rains, but

it's just the trees that benefit

They have things they should say, them too

And sometimes it's bad to decode [it]

[Refrain]

Botanical garden, botanic-tanic

Botanical garden

Whole year, daily habit

(Botanic garden, botanic-magic)

Botanic garden, nothing like our relationship

[Verse 2]

Here it's not gonna become any better or worse

We leave everything behind in front of the fence

Carrying nothing on our chest or mind

No one can take guilt along

There's no one you can completely ask

If you should dare go against probability

And with the nights, the highlights become greater

The rest all miss out on the tranquility

They're all clones that are cloned from clones

All the lawns are clipped into pretty formations

Up on the the roof there's angels and demons

And they mirror themselves in the mirrorin' of the ego to people

Come back and see at night

Or we can dig up a meal

Run out again with green in your hand

Before the roots disappear in a season

Right in the middle there's a glass cage

There they've captured all the climates

But it's like cake without icing

Let's just stick to the paradigms

Or try to tough our way through the stigmas

But that can't happen in the garden

Can't see it if it ain't perfect

Smilin' with crushed ice in the belly

[Refrain]

Botanical garden, botanic-tanic

Botanical garden

Whole year, daily habit

(Botanic garden, botanic-magic)

Botanic garden, nothing like our relationship*

[Verse 3]

Nothing/No one here has anythin' interesting for [my] wallet

Getting tighter or beginning to get fat

You can swap in all you doubt with what you know

Let [your] eyelids shut under some oak

(Pickin' pinenuts)

Or just forget that you're gonna die and that you're alive

Without expectin' any honour or glory

For it's not here that you live (no)

Here you can just return to the earth (not)

Here it's not just talk about being a lady or man

For their word, cuz it's better to shut your mouth

Everything is dark and nothing is lit

And in the twilight the clouds look like amethysts

(and bird calls)

Dance amongst the trunks in three/tree-tier scale.

Just wait till the pictures are done and processed

But it's not here that you live, no

Nothing is like you think

[Refrain]

Botanical garden, botanic-tanic

Botanical garden

Whole year, daily habit

(Botanic garden, botanic-magic)

Botanic garden, nothing like our relationship

Botanical garden, botanic-tanic

Botanical garden

Whole year, daily habit

(Botanic garden, botanic-magic)

Botanic garden, nothing like our relationship
