Neonlys [English translation]

No matter where I am, I see gold and diamonds

Glitter in the street lamps' light

If I become famous and infamous

Loved or feared

It'll actually be worth it all

I know things will be fine some day

I'll get an 'the unavoidable of the week'1 right there on P32

'Cause I want to be known as the guy who never looked back

'Cause I'll never go back

To my old lifestyle

Every day is a party

And I know there aren't a few left

'Cause even though the gold of my crown says I'm the king of my city

The gold ring on my finger says I'm married to her

She'll be my last friend until doomsday

She takes care of me when I spend my very last money

Plays dumb and flirts around with married men

Who say that they'll take care of her when they poison her3

But I'll do anything to not lose her

'Cause she stands there, smiling below the mistletoe

24 years, Nørrebro4 - burning gasoline off on H.C. Andersens Boulevard

Juen made it so that I could see clearly

I'll make money quickly

When I wake up, I see dollar signs

Doing the dollar dance

Hoping there'll be a dollar rain

No matter where I am, I see gold and diamonds

Glitter in the street lamps' light

If I become famous and infamous

Loved or feared

It'll actually be worth it all

Oh yeah, I

Won't stop until I see my name bent in neon light

Until I see my name bent in neon light

Until I see my name bent in neon light

Won't stop until I see my name bent in neon light

Have you ever seen Copenhagen from a DC9

IC3 with a PC in it

In a limousine with a WC in it

My résumé says I live my life like an imbecile

I fucking don't care, I use this as my medicine

'Cause life is among other things a choice between pest and cholera

But in my head, I'm at Lanzarote, getting a suntan

Tax papa will probably ask where I got my money some day

But until then I'll let the money sing like an opera

Smart smiles, arrogance

Whiplashes from a tough industry

Expensive bimbos' decadence

Heavy minds from a deep trance

In an imbalance

But I just see dollar signs

Doing the dollar dance

Hoping there'll be a dollar rain

No matter where I am, I see gold and diamonds

Glitter in the street lamps' light

If I become famous and infamous

Loved or feared

It'll actually be worth it all

Oh yeah, I

Won't stop until I see my name bent in neon light

Until I see my name bent in neon light

Until I see my name bent in neon light

Won't stop until I see my name bent in neon light
