The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Number üks" by J.M.K.E..
Lyrics
Hommikusest peeglist vaatab vastu igaüks.
Maja number üheksa ja korter number üks.
Tahad olla parem, mitte olla nagu muud.
Tahad olla tugevam, tugevam kui muud.
Mustvalge maailm paistab värvitelekast.
Tahaks olla ise televisioonimast.
Näha kaugemale, sinna, kus on tulevik,
aga kahjuks kolmas silm on lühinägelik.
Tahad olla targem, palju rikkam olla ka.
Tahad olla abielus Ingrid Rüütliga.
Tavaline kuju oskab olla igaüks.
Tahaks olla parem, tahaks olla number üks.
Inimene põlvneb ahvist, lollist elukast.
Tahaks olla hoopis see, kes sündis Jumalast.
Meie ei saa olla number ühed sinu eest.
Me ei suuda leida üles sädet sinu seest.
Ela ennast surematuks, ela nagu lind.
Sa pole number üks, kuid siiski maailm vajab sind.
Mine vannituppa, pista kraani alla pea,
loputa sealt välja kõik see, mida sa ei tea.
Kui siis miski alles jääb ja teeb sul kolbas müks,
võidki olla kindel, see on mõte number üks.
Tavalisi mõtteid oskab mõelda igaüks.
Kunagi ehk pähe tuleb mõte number üks.
Kas sa oled parem siis või ikka igaüks?
Mees, kelle aadress on korter number üks.
Lyrics translation
Everyone looks in the morning mirror.
House number nine and apartment number one.
You want to be better, not be like anything else.
You want to be stronger, stronger than anything else.
The black-and-white world looks out of color TV.
I want to be on television myself.
To see beyond, to where the future lies,
but, unfortunately, the third eye is myopic.
You want to be smarter, you want to be richer too.
You want to be married to Ingrid Knight.
The usual shape can be anyone.
I want to be better, I want to be number one.
Man is descended from a monkey, a stupid creature.
I want to be the one who was born of God.
We can't be number one for you.
We can't find the spark inside you.
Live yourself immortal, live like a bird.
You're not number one, but still the world needs you.
Go to the bathroom, stick your head under the tap,
flush out everything you don't know.
If there's anything left and it makes a nudge in your skull,
you can be sure, that's thought number one.
Anyone can think of ordinary thoughts.
One day, perhaps, thought number one comes to mind.
Are you better then or still everyone?
A man whose address is apartment number one.
