Millionær [English translation]

[Rasmus Seebach:]

Do you believe that I once thought you became happy,

if there was just money enough?

Life is so short, and happiness transient.

It is all about making it to the top.

When we talked, it was mostly about me.

I completely forgot to ask about you.

So you got fed up and sent me down my own path.

Why do we walk about and think it is so important

to make that million?

You can get plenty of success, but what is it worth?

If you do not share it with anybody?

Someone whom you can trust,

someone who says, "take it easy,"

someone who wants you like you are,

whether you are broke or a millionaire,

wants you in sunshine and headwind,

loving you for who you are?

There we sat on a bench and looked at people,

and said, "god damn, how they are hurrying,

they forget both themselves and those they love,"

it could never happen for you and I."

Had enough in love and mineral water,

I promised you that I would never become like that,

but I got busy and time tore us apart.

Tell me,

why do we walk about and think it is so important

to make that million?

You can get plenty of success, but what is it worth?

If you do not share it with anybody?

Someone whom you can trust,

someone who says, "take it easy,"

someone who wants you like you are,

whether you are broke or a millionaire,

wants you in sunshine and headwind,

loving you for who you are?

Uh ohh, ih-eey-oh, na-na-na-na, hey-hey.

Come and take me back-ack!

[Lars Ankerstjerne:]

She fell in love with a poor bugger from the suburbs,

with the head full of dreams,

and they should see the world together,

and never follow the rest of the world.

He should be a rock star, she was inspiration.

During the night there was sweet music,

he wrote her into every tone,

and she believed him, though everybody said "no."

So if it would come some day, she could smile and say,

"I told you so."

But the spot light is so hard to compete with,

when the crowd is calling, they receive his love.

And when they heard his song for the first time in the radio,

she should have been there beside him,

but there was no one.

The whole world sings along on songs about a woman,

but no one knows that all the songs it about her,

I only sing for you.

[Rasmus Seebach:]

Uhh, I see it all now.

Take me back, to those days

in our small 2-rommed apartment.

We had nothing, only ourselves,

but I was the richest man of the world.

I will give everything I have today

for you taking me back.

Why do we walk about and think it is so important

to make that million?

You can get plenty of success, but what is it worth?

If you do not share it with anybody?

Someone whom you can trust,

someone who says, "take it easy,"

someone who wants you like you are,

whether you are broke or a millionaire,

wants you in sunshine and headwind,

loving you for who you are?

Uh ohh, ih-eey-oh, na-na-na-na, hey-hey.

Come and take me back-ack!

Someone whom you can trust,

someone who says, "take it easy,"

someone who wants you like you are,

whether you are broke or a millionaire,

wants you in sunshine and headwind,

loving you for who you are?

Why do we walk about and think it is so important

to make that million - to make that million?

You can get plenty of success, but what is it worth?

If you do not share it with anybody?

Someone whom you can trust-trust,

someone who says, "take it easy-easy,"

someone who wants you like you are,

whether you are broke or a millionaire-naire,

wants you in sunshine and headwind,

loving you for who you are?
