Kim Larsen — Byens Hotel song lyrics and translation

The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Byens Hotel" by Kim Larsen.

Lyrics

En sømand drog ud på en rejse så lang
Og bølgerne slog om hans skib
Delfinerne sprang, og kaptajnen sang:
«Du kommer nok hjem engang»
Men sømanden tænkte på pigen sin
Og dagene blev til år
Han tænkte: «Ja, jeg kommer nok hjem engang
Men sig mig hvornår, hvornår»
Og pigen hun husked' den allersidste dans
Mens dagene blev til år
Så fandt hun sig endelig en elsker blid
Der gad at slikke hendes sår
Og sømanden sejled' fra havn til havn
Til sidst hun glemte hans navn
Men tiden den går, som tiden vil
En dag lagde skibet til
Han tog en taxa til byens hotel
Hun så ham og glemte helt sig selv
De genså hinanden for en enkelt nat
En nat på byens hotel
En sømand drog ud på en rejse så lang
Og bølgerne slog om hans skib
Delfinerne sprang, og kaptajnen sang:
«Du kommer sgu nok hjem engang»

Lyrics translation

A sailor went on a journey so long
And the waves were beating about his ship
The dolphins jumped and the captain sang:
"You'll probably come home sometime»
But the sailor thought of the girl sin
And the days turned into years
He thought, " Yeah, I'll come home sometime
But tell me when, when»
And the girl she remembered the very last dance
While the days turned into years
Then she finally found herself a lover gentle
Who bothered to lick her wounds
And the sailor sailed ' from Port to Port
Eventually she forgot his name
But the time it passes, as time will
One day the ship docked
He took a taxi to the city hotel
She saw him and completely forgot about herself
They saw each other for a single night
One night at the city hotel
A sailor went on a journey so long
And the waves were beating about his ship
The dolphins jumped and the captain sang:
"You'll be home sometime»
