Borte bra - deLillos

At borte er bra men hjemme best

Det mener sikkert nordmenn flest

Men det er god norsk folkeskikk

Å komme med litt selvkritikk

Så jeg er altså en av dem

Som har det pinlig i mitt hjem

Når vi lager Melodi Grand Prix

Med oljeplattform symfoni

Og vertinnen prøver å mobbe dem

Som ikke ga vårt land poeng

For en nordmann er så veldig flink

At jeg må gå og mixe meg en drink

At borte er bra men hjemme best

Det mener sikkert nordmenn flest

Men jeg vil heller ta en tur

Enn å sitte å være sur

For det som borte har forstått

Og som jeg tror er veldig flott

De bytter ut fornuftig tvil

Til fordel for et hjertelig smil

Men man tar jo ikke skade

Og har vondt av det man ikke vet

Så vi lever her frivillig

Med vår kalde norske sure virkelighet

At borte er bra men hjemme best

Det mener sikkert nordmenn flest

Men jeg er nok en teit turist

Som tror at hjemme er litt trist

For jeg vil heller sitte med champagnerus

Mens øye skuer vakre hus

Man tror at ikke bygges kan

Når man er stolt av Karl Johan

For en kunstner nyter stor respekt

Poeten blir en folkehelt

Mens hjemme har han lite å si

Hvis han ikke går vanvittig fort på ski

At borte er bra men hjemme best

Det mener sikkert nordmenn flest

Men jeg jeg syns at borte er bra

Om hjemme vil jeg si et tja

For om våren kan man dra dit ned

Hvis man er lei av is og sne

På hyggelig vis de vil servere

En kaffe som er meget bedre

Pluss at hvis du unger har

Som klatrer opp på stedets bar

Da smiler kelneren mer enn før

Spanderer is med masse tilbehør

That away is good but at home best

Most Norwegians probably think so

But it is good Norwegian folk customs

To come up with some self-criticism

So I'm one of them

Who is embarrassed in my home

When we make Melodi Grand Prix

With oil platform symphony

And the hostess tries to bully them

Which did not give our country points

For a Norwegian is so very good

That I have to go and mix myself a drink

That away is good but at home best

Most Norwegians probably think so

But I would rather take a trip

Than to sit to be angry

For what the past has understood

And which I think is very nice

They replace reasonable doubt

In favor of a hearty smile

But you do not get hurt

And hurt by what you do not know

So we live here voluntarily

With our cold Norwegian sour reality

That away is good but at home best

Most Norwegians probably think so

But I'm probably a stupid tourist

Who thinks that home is a little sad

Because I would rather sit with champagne intoxication

While the eye sees beautiful houses

It is believed that can not be built

When you are proud of Karl Johan

For an artist enjoys great respect

The poet becomes a folk hero

While at home he has little to say

If he does not ski insanely fast

That away is good but at home best

Most Norwegians probably think so

But I I think that gone is good

About home I want to say a well

Because in the spring you can go down there

If you are tired of ice and snow

In a nice way they will serve

A coffee that is much better

Plus that if you kids have

Who climbs up to the on-site bar

Then the waiter smiles more than before

Treat yourself to ice cream with lots of accessories
