[martindanmark]

Hi swedish friends

OK..U got a better Footballteam than us. And u have...by far...the best rockband in scandinavia... Ur language is also very beautifull but..sometimes
hard to understand.

So please help me explain these words:

Kortvåg
Ihåg
Fadersgestalt
Lamda meg ensam
Ode værre end dødan

Marken
Benrangel
Elakhed
Forutnelsen
Et gral i bilen

Från krønet av kullan
Håpnad
forlorade varld

Outhardlig kvall
Gårsdagens tester
glorian
Fågelbenstron
Ton i ton
Gultskart

Allt vi Hann
Snøn hur ut sin uskuld
allt vi hinner med
Så skiten bara kanns

Luktar slackta brænder
Så otackt langt
skyddar
upprepar

framsteg
de som skapar my ter som slår hål
orattvis
smestans tegelarmer stracks
molnen
charterplan
amnen som leder nogånstans
du er tætt ved din rygg
antligan somnar du om
rymden
bedjande blick
från hans klor

bare det som man kan mata
Klev præcis på scenen
Kravallpoliser
Jeg knuffas tapper anden og regnet vråker ner

før at återvenda
blåljus vid tegelbacken
Branbolstræ
Implodera
Vågarne
Grævlinger
Ungdomsgangen
Slår acner till
helgen

rakblad
Grymt
det ekar i traphuse
forlorat
framtiden er ånda utom rackhåll
forstår nåt jeg overlever

Ner från minus 50 grader
hagring
avvaktande blick
Over munden mitt i orden slog du til så hårdt det gick
Våldet
Rødlys
NK paraply
Kulspetsblå
Våga utan ord
Moln
Fast jeg ved
Torkarbladens
Kallsvettas anda
Vm i at holde færgen????????????
lugna





Kind regards

Martin

This it the best English-Swedish-English webdictionary (plus many other languages) if you want to translate those particular words from Swedish to English. If you want to know what those lyrics are about, you can go to kentjunkie.com website and read translations - quite good I think.

There is also a topic about translations in the English section: http://forumet.kent.nu/showthread.php?t=1483

I can understand all your question marks at the phrase "VM i att hålla färgen". VM is world championship and "hålla färgen" means that you act as if nothing has happened, you try to keep your poker face. Jocke is of course not singing about a real world championship, but of a struggle to not let anyone know how you really feel.

I noticed that our swedish word Kortvåg wasn't included on that lexin.nada-link, so I'll translate it for you.

Kortvåg is simply a type of frequency for short distance communication use. I think it's called short wave in english.

I'd love to help you more but I figured out I haven't got the time at the moment, and they've supplied some O.K links for you that would hopefully solve most of the sentences and words.

Peace.

Men Martindanmark, du er dansker altså..?
"Hålla färgen" = "Hold facaden", du er en taber hvis du ikke er stærk og ligeglad...

Does "Marken" means :


The ground in general (as in ....feet on the ground)


Or does it mean : The ground where farmers grow vegetables.
