En katt på min kudde [English translation]

I wanted to be a Tarzan

who hovered in a liana,

who faught tigers and lions

in the jungle all day.

I wish to be a he-man,

an extremely secret agent,

that got to taste the hardest of punches,

who got to know the prettiest babes.

A cat is lying on my pillow,

he's lying on his back purring.

I'm keeping a hand on his tummy--

it's warming, I feel safe.

And puss is moving and turning

his big, furry tail.

I'm thinking how sad it would be

if both of us didn't exist right now!

I wanted to be Don Juan

who could do anything in sex.

Some ten, twelve women in a night

without any complexity.

A guy for the porn-institutes

to venture some money in.

That would be many millions,

in the bank book it would be written.

A cat is lying on my pillow,

he's lying on his back purring.

I'm keeping a hand on his tummy--

it's warming, I feel safe.

And puss is moving and turning

his big, furry tail.

I'm thinking how sad it would be

if both of us didn't exist right now!

I'm sitting here alone and hum

and write a song sometimes.

It's the "devil in the boat"

that I feel like finishing.

A cat is lying on my pillow,

he's lying on his back purring.

I'm keeping a hand on his tummy--

it's warming, I feel safe.

And puss is moving and turning

his big, furry tail.

I'm thinking how sad it would be

if both of us didn't exist right now!
