Lyrics
Vi rejste os på to ben for at hinke
Over lavaen fra Afrika
Stjernerne så vi blinke
Det er dem vi kommer fra
Vi har jaget tundraen tynd efter mammutter
Styret efter stjerner imens
Været her på jorden et par minutter
Under navnet Homo Sapiens
Måske et brintatom i din næse
Engang sad i en gammel grå mammut
Uuh som det ku blæse
Da vinteren var ved at være slut
Vi drømte vi stod bag plankeværket
Derude hvor himlen holder op
Og i drømmen plukkede vi blomster
Derude hvor himlen holder op
Hvad nu hvis vi vågner op til morgen
Af drømmen med et sæt
Fordi vi i hånden holder
En blomsterbuket
Måske et brintatom i din næse
Engang sad i en gammel grå mammut
Uuh som det ku blæse
Da vinteren var ved at være slut
Der hvor gletscheren føder kilden
Stegte vi en rype over bål
Vi tæmmede ilden
Hvor vi ramte var der mål
Måske et brintatom i din næse
Engang sad i en gammel grå mammut
Uuh som det ku blæse
Da vinteren var ved at være slut
Lyrics translation
We got up on two legs to hop
Over the lava from Africa
The Stars saw us blink
That's who we come from
We've hunted the tundra thin for mammoths
Guided by Stars meanwhile
Been here on Earth a few minutes
Under the name Homo Sapiens
Maybe a hydrogen atom in your nose
Once sat in an old gray mammoth
Uuh as it could blow
When winter was coming to an end
We dreamed we were behind the plank
Out there where the sky stops
And in the dream we picked flowers
Out there where the sky stops
What if we wake up this morning
Of the dream with a set
Because in the hand we hold
A bouquet of flowers
Maybe a hydrogen atom in your nose
Once sat in an old gray mammoth
Uuh as it could blow
When winter was coming to an end
Where the glacier feeds the source
Did we roast a grouse over bonfires
We tamed the fire
Where we hit there were targets
Maybe a hydrogen atom in your nose
Once sat in an old gray mammoth
Uuh as it could blow
When winter was coming to an end
