Lyrics
Det brjade som en skakning p nedre dck
Det fyllde oss vl mer med hpnad n med skrck
Vi frstod inte riktigt orsaken till
Att fartyget sprungit lck
Man hade sagt oss att detta var vrldens modernaste
Osnkbara skepp
Du tog vrt foto av barnen, dina smycken och din hatt
Jag tog en trja
Jag tnkte att havet are skert kallt
Nr vi steg ut ur vr hytt och sg
Hur vattnet brjat strmma in
Sg jag en tr, eller var det kanske en droppe vatten
P din kind
Vi fljde pilar som angav rddningsbtens plats
Det var p versta dck fast det 'gentli'n var frsta klass
Vi var rtt mnga men alla tog det ganska lugnt
Det var vl bara en herre frn tredje klass
Som trngde sej lite dumt
Vi trffa en man som vi hlsat p frut
Han presenterade oss fr sin dotter och sin fru
Nr vi kom upp p dck, sa kaptenen
Att livbten inte gick att f I sjn
Det var visst kedjorna till n’n hissanordning
Som ngon hade glmt
Vi gick till baren och fick ett gratis glas champagne
Och vi sklade fr imperiet och fr varann'
Nu brja skeppet att sjunka snabbare
Och dess lutning var ganska stor
Mnga hoppade I vattnet
Men vi beslt att stanna kvar ombord
Sen lmna rttorna skeppet fr att ska sej mot land
Men vi stod kvar dr p dcket och hll varann' I hand
Vi tnkte, havet are alltfr stort och kallt och vilt
Och I dom btar som satts I sjn fanns inte plats
Fr en enda till
Sen spela fartygsorkestern Nrmare Gud till Dig
Det kndes lite fnigt men nd rtt typiskt
Fr just vr tid
Vi har frlorat den allra sista gnuttan hopp
Vi gr till botten dr vi str
Men flaggan, den gr I topp
Lyrics translation
It started like a shake on the lower dck
It filled us vl more with hpnad n with skrck
We did not really understand the reason for
That the ship ran lck
We had been told that this was the world's most modern
Unsinkable ship
You took our photo of the kids, your jewelry and your hat
I took a trja
I tnkte that the sea is safe cold
Nr we step out of vr cab and sg
How the water burst into
Sg I a tr, or was it maybe a drop of water
P your cheek
We fljde arrows that indicated the location of the rddningsbtens
It was on top of that though it was first class
We were right many but they all took it pretty easy
There was only one gentleman from third grade
As trngde sej a bit silly
We'll take a man we've been waiting for
He introduced us to his daughter and his wife
When we got up, the captain said
That the lifebt could not f i sjn
Looks like it was the chains to the n ' n hoist
As someone had glmt
We went to the bar and got a free glass of champagne
And we scolded for the Empire and for each other'
Now bring the ship to sink faster
And its slope was quite large
Mnga jumped into the water
But we beslt to remain on board
Then the ships left the ship to go ashore
But we were still standing with Dr. P. dcket and holding each other in hand
We thought, the sea is still big and cold and wild
And in the btar set in sjn there was no place
Fr one more
Then play the ship orchestra Nrmare God to you
It kndes a bit fussy but nd rtt typical
Just our time
We've lost the very last hint of hope
We go to the bottom dr we str
But the flag, the gr in the top
