Smilets By [English translation]

[Chorus: Lau]

Even when you're far from the City of Smiles1

And you've been away in the big world

She knows that you'll always return home

To her, to her

'Cause even when you're far from the City of Smiles

And you've been away in the big world

She knows that you'll always return home

To her

[Verse 1: Søren Karim]

I correct my cap, picking my bag up

Tired of feeling like a tourist everywhere I go

I put out my cigarette, getting off of the stairs

Cold ocean breeze in my face, turning my eyes to my hometown

The only reason I haven't gone insane

From feeling like I'm all alone in this world so far

I feel like I don't fit in

Like the third wheel or the ugly girl friend

Is your home a place where you only have your stuff?

I was fucking made here, check it out when I speak

One of my friends is calling, finally, a language I can recognize

Copenhagener-proof, consonantless sentences

I was born half Algerian, half Danish

In a world where we think American, but I'm completely Aarhusian

And totally content, 'cause no matter where life takes me

I know where I belong

[Chorus: Lau]

Even when you're far from the City of Smiles

And you've been away in the big world

She knows that you'll always return home

To her, to her

'Cause even when you're far from the City of Smiles

And you've been away in the big world

She knows that you'll always return home

To her

[Verse 1: Mads]

Yeah, there's no "too bad", dance around with gravity

I greet everything from the gay bar to the antifascists in Mølleparken

Both the smart and crazy ones

In Botanical Garden with a ball, a couple of joints, and my crew

Fuck if it's sunshine, we'll get some beers in Fakta2

The ones with money buy for the rest as usual

The City of Smiles, we know that this shit rubs off on you

A petite bitch says that we're the new big thing, hitting on me

We all have our own perspectives, multicultural ways of speaking

Arabic or Danish

So if you land on your head after a somersault

We'll help you back up, giving you something to fall back on3

That's Aarhus for you, the city with the worst football team so far

So good thing that they've got us

And if we bounce at some point

We'll come back like a stork in april

[Chorus: Lau]

Even when you're far from the City of Smiles

And you've been away in the big world

She knows that you'll always return home

To her, to her

'Cause even when you're far from the City of Smiles

And you've been away in the big world

She knows that you'll always return home

To her

[Outro: Lau]

'Cause even when you're far from the City of Smiles

And you've been away in the big world

She knows that you'll always return home

To her

1. The city of Aarhus2. Danish convenience store3. Not sure if this is a saying in English, but having something to fall back on means having plan B
