Vihje [English translation]

[Verse 1: Mikael Gabriel]

Nublu, raise the volume, I'll open a beer

Smile for the photo like it's going into Vogue

Glimmering are my necklaces, the stones and the gravel1

I'll minimize my screw-ups, my Livin' la Vida Loca's

Some Balkan2, a bottle of white wine

I'll fix up things at home, I don't need a caretaker

I can tell you a few stories, I promise

to keep quiet, nobody will know of this

When I score the jackpot I'll take you with me

You want to post on the net, I'll put you in the picture3

I can put you into a position

Let's dance flamenco all evening

[Chorus: Nublu]

I know that to see through fog isn't easy sometimes

Sometimes all there is are clues, signs and clues

You stick to me like leaves when I'm slapping myself4

I love and hate, everything that I5 want

Everything that they expect from me

I hope the morning will provide me with explanations

To see it is not easy

[Bridge: Nublu]

Ladies and gentlemen

Women and gentlemen

For you we've arranged a special set

Miklu

Como siempre6

[Verse 2: Nublu]

All that I'm making I'll put into a suitcase and bury it

Half of it is yours, when I'll complete my BA7 in the spring

She's a good girl, kisses for her on the seat

It'll be rad being a tutor at the Tech8 and having an MA9

The girl said: God, there's a minister at the table

I said to her: Get used to it, now she's melting like a Kismet10

Well, she's like a mute11, I told her the air's stale

I'll rock your world until you fall asleep

Later you'll wake up understanding it wasn't a dream

If someone asks, you'll say you don't know me

It's a lie, so why be in love

If you believe a quarter of it, half of it's still going to be a lie

[Chorus: Nublu]

I know that to see through fog isn't easy sometimes

Sometimes all there is are clues, signs and clues

You stick to me like leaves when I'm slapping myself

I love and hate, everything that I want

Everything that they expect from me

I hope the morning will provide me with explanations

To see it is not easy

[Verse 3: Mikael Gabriel]

We have dominated it for a long time12

We have been copied for a long time

I do things, not say I could have

This is not a conspiracy, I'm not going to cover myself in foil

Instead I'll have a hot cocoa and and some gingerbread13

I'm stretching my vertebrae in weird positions

These guys are completely mad

The party was stopped and the mood ruined14

[Verse 4: Nublu]

Your touch is too cunning

A change in our plans

No one else is welcome

I'm melting like snow which has been salted

I'm trying to sense the right moment

To open open myself up

Life's like a chocolate, which tastes too good

I can give you a piece, but you won't share it with everyone, right?

[Chorus: Nublu]

I know that to see through fog isn't easy sometimes

Sometimes all there is are clues, signs and clues

You stick to me like leaves when I'm slapping myself

I love and hate, everything that I want

Everything that they expect from me

I hope the morning will provide me with explanations

To see it is not easy

Sometimes all there is are clues

To see it is not easy

Sometimes all there is are clues
