The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Livets Gang I Virkelyst" by Peter Sommer.

Lyrics

Han ville gi dem en hånd
Men fik en finger tilbage
Hvis de ikke vil høre
Må de sgu se hvad han sagde
For de skal gøre som han gør
Ja, de skal gøre som han gør
Og han har sagt det så tit
Det har mistet valør
Hvis han var officeren
Og de var hans brigade
Blev de sendt lige hen i parken
For at tælle alle træernes blade
Han spurgte: Hvad vil du være når du bliver stor?
Det samme din far aldrig var for din mor?
Vil du se noget på vejen?
Vil du bare nå frem?
Vil du sikkert i mål
Efter folk er gået hjem?
Hvis han var officeren
Og ku gøre som bare Fanden
Blev de sendt til Vesterhavet
For at tælle alle stenene på stranden
Ja, hvis han var officeren
Og de var hans brigade
Blev de sendt lige hen i parken
For at tælle alle træernes blade

Lyrics translation

He wanted to give them a hand
But got a finger back
If they don't want to hear
Can you fucking see what he said
Because they have to do what he does
Yes, they must do as he does
And he's said it all the time
It has lost value
If he was the officer
And they were his brigade
They were sent straight to the park
To count all the leaves of the trees
He asked: what will you be when you grow up?
The same thing your father never was for your mother?
Want to see something on the road?
You just want to get there?
Do you want to get to the finish
After people have gone home?
If he was the officer
And can do what the fuck
Were they sent to the North Sea
To count all the stones on the beach
Yeah, if he was the officer
And they were his brigade
They were sent straight to the park
To count all the leaves of the trees
