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

The rain that slowly falls here in the city makes the houses gray.

Neon lights, they reflect in the asphalt, the blue

And cars signal, I see people moving.

Is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?

Tell me, is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?

If you want to listen to the doctor´s drill or the happy song of thrushing

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

Is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?

In the city where you study. There you have your factory.

There you have your office, your market, your store.

People talk about their market shares, their job, and their season.

Is it Strange That Sometimes You Long to be Away

Tell me, is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?

If you want to listen to the doctor´s drill or the happy song of thrushing

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

Is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?

Here people talk about love in big round words

Here people overuse trains and cars, people hurt mother Earth.

But then when the wind calms down, you can suddenly smell seaweed

Is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?

Tell me, is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?

If you want to listen to the doctor´s drill or the happy song of thrushing

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

Is it strange that sometimes you long to be away?
