Når Et Lys Slukkes - Nik & Jay

Speedometeret viser 65, han kører igennem indre by

Asfalten er våd, hans Benz er forholdsvis ny

Et Rolex-ur bevidner om en sund økonomi

Han dufter, som han skal, hans hår er redt tilbage med gele

Han er en god mand, typen de fleste ka' li'

Men hvor han får sine penge fra, er det, de færreste der ve'

Det' det hurtige liv, livet i overhalingsbanen

Der hvor folk kommer og går, der hvor man sjældent ser hinanden

Der hvor de allerstørste drømme bli’r til virkelighed

Der hvor nogen når skyerne, og andre falder ned

Der hvor han mistede fodfæstet og kom ud i noget rod

Der hvor han havnede i et spil, som han aldrig helt forstod

Gaderne bli’r mindre nu, han skruer op for sin yndlingssang

En halvtømt flaske vodka under sædet ved siden af ham

Et ekstra tryk på speederen, han ser ikk' for godt ud

En tåre triller ned af venstre kind i takt med regnen på hans rude

Alt for høj promille i blodet, alt for mange tanker i hovedet

Rødt lys — han ser ikk' noget, bremseren i bund

Filmen knækker, han lukker øjnene, ved hvor det ender

Hører et brag, og lyset forsvinder

En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv

Der forsvinder på et øjeblik

Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes

Så tændes der et nytEn helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv

Der forsvinder på et øjeblik

Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes

Så tændes der et nyt

I dag har hun det faktisk næsten helt godt

Hun er selv overrasket for i så lang tid, har hendes liv været helt fucked

Siden hendes mand forlod hende for et par år siden

Hvor hun blev vraget for en yngre kvinde

Men i dag dufter alt anderledes, et lysere humør

Så hun får en manicure og går til frisøren

Og da hun forlader shoppen, ringer hendes mobil

Det' hendes datter, der har noget fantastisk at fortælle

Så de mødes i Kongens Have og omfavner hinanden

For mor og datter har virkelig savnet hinanden

Og fra bænken under træerne på alléen

Beslutter de sig for at snak' videre på caféen

Og de går ud af porten og ud på gaden

Og de' tæt omslynget for der' koldt i købstaden

Og datterens kæreste ringer, han slutter sig til dem

Og hun føler sig helt ung igen, når hun går der i midten

De' næsten ved caféen, da hun møder en veninde

Og siger til de andre, de bare ka' vent' derinde

Det' det sidste hun når at sige til dem

Før en bil smadrer over for rødt, direkte ind i dem

En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv

Der forsvinder på et øjeblik

Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes

Så tændes der et nyt

En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv

En mand midt i 30'erne, træder ind i sit hjem

Foran ham venter konen og en tiltrængt weekend

Hans ansigt bærer præg af, at hans profession er hård

Han er falckredder på tiende år

Han sætter sig ved middagsbordet og virker virkelig træt

Han rører ikk' sin vin og nipper kun til sin yndlingsret

Hun spørger ham forsigtigt, «Skat, er der noget galt?»

Han kigger ned og mumler, «Hmm, alt er vel helt normalt»

Men hun kender ham for godt, så hun spørger ham igen

Og denne gang bryder han sammen og si’r med gråd i stemmen

«Et forfærdeligt uheld, tre døde, en bil i brand

En ung mand, hans kæreste og deres ufødte barn»

Hun rejser sig op, hun holder om ham og trøster ham

For hun ka' mærke, at det her virkelig har rystet ham

Men pludselig afbrydes de af en barnestemme, der siger

«Mor, hvorfor græder far?

Far se her!»

De vender sig om, og de ka' ikk' la' være at smile

Der står deres fem-årige søn med maling over det hele

Han har en tegning i hånden, han siger, «Far, du må få den»

Den forestiller deres familie, og en sol der skinner på dem

En helt normal dag, et helt specielt liv

Der forsvinder på et øjeblik

Men jeg tror på at, når ét lys slukkes

Så tændes der et nyt

The speedometer shows 65, he is driving through inner city

The asphalt is wet, his Benz is relatively new

A Rolex watch testifies to a healthy economy

He smells as he should, his hair is straightened back with gel

He is a good man, the type most ka 'li'

But where he gets his money from is the few who know '

It's the fast life, the life in the overtaking lane

Where people come and go, where you rarely see each other

Where the biggest dreams come true

Where some reach the clouds and others fall down

Where he lost his footing and got into some mess

Where he ended up in a game he never quite understood

The streets are getting smaller now, he is turning up his favorite song

A half-emptied bottle of vodka under the seat next to him

An extra push on the accelerator, he does not look too good

A tear rolls down his left cheek in time with the rain on his windowpane

Too high per mille in the blood, too many thoughts in the head

Red light - he does not see anything, the brake at the bottom

The movie breaks, he closes his eyes, knows where it ends

Hear a bang and the light disappears

A completely normal day, a very special life

It disappears in an instant

But I believe that when one light goes out

Then a new, completely normal day, a very special life, is lit.

It disappears in an instant

But I believe that when one light goes out

Then a new one lights up

Today, she is actually doing almost perfectly well

She herself is surprised because for so long, her life has been completely fucked

Since her husband left her a few years ago

Where she was wrecked for a younger woman

But today everything smells different, a brighter mood

So she gets a manicure and goes to the hairdresser

And when she leaves the shop, her mobile rings

It's her daughter who has something amazing to tell

So they meet in the King's Garden and embrace each other

For mother and daughter have really missed each other

And from the bench under the trees on the avenue

They decide to continue talking at the café

And they go out of the gate and out into the street

And they 'tightly wrapped around there' cold in the market town

And the daughter's boyfriend calls, he joins them

And she feels quite young again when she walks there in the middle

They're almost at the cafe when she meets a friend

And tell the others they can just 'wait' in there

That's the last thing she can say to them

Before a car smashes in front of red, directly into them

A completely normal day, a very special life

It disappears in an instant

But I believe that when one light goes out

Then a new one lights up

A completely normal day, a very special life

It disappears in an instant

But I believe that when one light goes out

Then a new one lights up

A man in his mid-30s, enters his home

In front of him awaits the wife and a much-needed weekend

His face is marked by the fact that his profession is tough

He is a falcon rescuer in his tenth year

He sits down at the dinner table and seems really tired

He does not touch his wine and sips only his favorite dish

She asks him cautiously, "Honey, is something wrong?"

He looks down and mumbles, "Hmm, everything is probably normal"

But she knows him too well, so she asks him again

And this time he breaks down and says with tears in his voice

«A terrible accident, three dead, a car on fire

A young man, his girlfriend and their unborn child »

She gets up, she holds him and comforts him

Because she can feel that this has really shaken him

But suddenly they are interrupted by a childish voice saying

“Mom, why is Dad crying?

Dad, look here! ”

They turn around and they can not stop smiling

There stands their five-year-old son with paint all over it

He has a drawing in his hand, he says, "Dad, you must have it."

It depicts their family, and a sun shining on them

A completely normal day, a very special life

It disappears in an instant

But I believe that when one light goes out

Then a new one lights up

A completely normal day, a very special life

It disappears in an instant

But I believe that when one light goes out

Then a new one lights up
