Takfest i Brooklyn - Calvert, Fela

I dag tenkte jeg plutselig på deg

Da vi møttes en gang i mai

På en takfest i Brooklyn

Det var der jeg først så deg

Det jeg likte aller best med deg var at

Du ga totalt faen i alt

Det de andre tenkte om deg

Du gjorde akkurat som du ville

Det er det jeg likte med deg

Sammen ble vi ofte fulle

Og gjorde dumme ting jeg ikke angrer på

Du viste meg rundt i byen

Sammen gjorde vi alt

Det jeg likte aller best med oss var at

Vi ga totalt faen i alt

Det de andre tenkte om oss

Vi gjorde akkurat som vi ville

Det er det jeg likte med oss

Klokka går for fort, skal vi dvele?

Eller la følelser forlate redet?

Jeg tenker at jeg tenker altfor mye

Kan’ke være der og by på bryet

Kan’ke si for mye og vi’kke si for lite

Like greit å holde seg til minner man kan nyte

Kanskje det er like greit at ting er som de er

Jeg kan’ke være der du der

I dag tenkte jeg plutselig på deg

Today I suddenly thought of you

When we met once in May

At a rooftop party in Brooklyn

That's where I first saw you

What I liked most about you was that

You totally gave a shit about everything

What the others thought about you

You did exactly as you wanted

That's what I liked about you

Together we often got drunk

And did stupid things I don't regret

You showed me around the city

Together we did everything

What I liked most about us was that

We totally gave a shit about everything

What the others thought about us

We did exactly as we wanted

That's what I liked about us

The clock is running too fast, shall we dwell?

Or let feelings leave the nest?

I think that I think way too much

Can't be there and offer the trouble

Can't say too much and we can't say too little

Just as well to stick to memories you can enjoy

Maybe it's just as well that things are the way they are

I can't be where you are

Today I suddenly thought of you
