The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "København Brænder" by Lars Lilholt Band.
Lyrics
Lige midt på Amagertorv har de lagt de døde
De sårede vakler mod et udbrændt Christiansborg
Gaderne i indre by er ikke til at kende de er ufremkommelige
Af murbrokker og kaos, lig og skrig af sorg
Gad vide hvor Ground Zero ligger
Gad vide hvor Ground Zero er
Brandmændene er blevet byens sande helte
Adrenalinen hjalp dem videre med sit stærke sus
Nu står de grædende og grå, forstenede og alt for trætte
Og ser Vor Frue Kirkes tårn synke i grus
København brænder
Københavnerne render
For livet over Langebro
Nogen så de fremmede gå i land ved Vedbæk
Ingen kun forestille sig hvad der sku til at ske
At civile skulle terrorbombes fra de batterier der blev samlet
Midt i haverne på Frederiksberg Allé
København brænder
Københavnerne render
For livet over Langebro
Tårne og byer de kan bygges op igen
Det er langt sværere med mennesker
Men forsoningen er mulig og det er der Ground Zero er
Lyrics translation
Right in the middle of Amagertorv they put the dead
The wounded waver against a burned out Christiansborg
The streets of the inner city are unrecognizable they are impassable
Of rubble and chaos, corpses and cries of sorrow
I wonder where Ground Zero is
I wonder where Ground Zero is
The firefighters have become the true heroes of the city
The adrenaline helped them get on with its powerful rush
Now they are weeping and gray, petrified and too tired
And watch the tower of the Church of Our Lady sink to ruin
Copenhagen is on fire
The Copenhageners are running
For life over Langebro
Someone saw the strangers go ashore at Vedbæk
No one just imagine what was supposed to happen
That civilians should be terrorized from the batteries that were collected
In the middle of the gardens at Frederiksberg Allé
Copenhagen is on fire
The Copenhageners are running
For life over Langebro
Towers and cities they can be built up again
It's much harder with people
But reconciliation is possible and that's where Ground Zero is
