Är det konstigt att man längtar bort nån gång [English translation]

The rain (which)slowly falls in the city, making the houses gray

The neon lights reflect blue in the asphalt

And cars signal, (as)I see people on the go

Is it strange that one longs to get away?

Say is it strange that you ever long to get away?

If you want to listen to the lark's drill or the thrush's happy song

And if you love the sea and winds and are tired of neon and concrete

Is it strange that you long to get away?

In the city where you study. There you have your factory(-ies)

There you have your skyscrapers, your market, your shop

They talk about their market share, their job and their season

Is it strange that one longs to get away?

Say, is it strange that you long to get away?

If you want to listen to the lark's drill or the thrush's happy song

And if you love the sea and winds and are tired of neon and concrete

Is it strange that one longs to get away?

Here they talk about love in big round words

Here you blow up trains and cars, you rape mother earth

But then when the wind blows, you suddenly feel the smell of seaweed

Is it strange that one longs to get away?

Say is it strange that you ever long to get away?

If you want to listen to the lark's drill or the thrush's happy song

And if you love the sea and winds

And are tired of neon and concrete

Is it strange that one longs to get away?
