Lyrics
Waterloo, Waterloo
Og hvor vil du mød' dit Waterloo?
Du kan ikke købe lykken,
Selvom du er nok så snu.
Alle møder vi en dag vort Waterloo.
Gamle Adam delte æblet, Eva bød.
Stakkels Adam, indså fejlen og fortrød.
Kun en pi’e, så var der skik på hele tiden.
Stakkels Adam havde mødt sit Waterloo.
Waterloo, Waterloo
Hvor vil du mød' dit Waterloo?
Du kan ikke købe lykken,
Selvom du er nok så snu.
Alle møder vi en dag vort Waterloo.
(Ja, det er lige hvad vi gør).
Da Napoleon rykked' frem mod fjendens lejr,
Var han sikker på, det endte med en sejr;
Ak, men nej. Han måtte gå den gale vej
Fra det store kendte slag ved Waterloo.
Waterloo, Waterloo
Hvor vil du mød' dit Waterloo?
Du kan ikke købe lykken,
Selvom du er nok så snu.
Alle møder vi en dag vort Waterloo.
(Ja, det var det, jeg sagde før:
Alle møder vi en dag vort Waterloo).
Da Tom Dooley traf sin pige med en anden,
Stak han pigen med sin kniv og skød den anden.
Ha’de han tænkt, så var han aldrig blevet hængt.
Jalousien blev Tom Dooley’s Waterloo.
Waterloo, Waterloo
Hvor vil du mød' dit Waterloo?
Du kan ikke købe lykken,
Selvom du er nok så snu.
Alle møder vi en dag vort Waterloo.
Alle møder vi en dag vort Waterloo.
Lyrics translation
Waterloo, Waterloo
And where do you want to meet your Waterloo?
You can not buy happiness,
Even if you're so clever.
We all meet one day our Waterloo.
Old Adam shared the Apple, Eve commanded.
Poor Adam, realized the mistake and regretted.
Only one pi'e, so there was the custom of the whole time.
Poor Adam had met his Waterloo.
Waterloo, Waterloo
Where do you want to meet your Waterloo?
You can not buy happiness,
Even if you're so clever.
We all meet one day our Waterloo.
(Yes, that's just what we do).
As Napoleon moved forward to the enemy camp,
Was he sure it ended with a win;
Alas, but no. He had to go the wrong way
From the Great known Battle of Waterloo.
Waterloo, Waterloo
Where do you want to meet your Waterloo?
You can not buy happiness,
Even if you're so clever.
We all meet one day our Waterloo.
(Yes, that's what I said before:
All we meet one day our Waterloo).
When Tom Dooley met his girl with someone else,
He stabbed the girl with his knife and shot the other one.
If they had thought to him, he would never have been hanged.
The jealousy became Tom Dooley's Waterloo.
Waterloo, Waterloo
Where do you want to meet your Waterloo?
You can not buy happiness,
Even if you're so clever.
We all meet one day our Waterloo.
We all meet one day our Waterloo.
