Kim Larsen - Papirsklip (Paper Cutting) - Danish song & translation

A song by the great Kim Larsen from the Danish movie "Midt Om Natten" (In the middle of the night).

Read the translation of the lyrics on the video and remember translating lyrics is not just a matter of translating..

Added 06.03.2011 to answer all the many google translating robots.:

I am happy with the translation as it is..  did this 3 years ago and my aim in spite of the haste was trying to retain some of the original beauty of the lyrics.. Well I tried my best.. I dislike translating litterally or "robotically".. Be my guest and upload a video of same song with your "flavour" of translation. I won't object ;)

Btw, neither Danish nor English are my native languages but I do dream in Danish ;)
Also opposite many Danes my knowledge to English is not barely "theoretical". ;)

What does the chick say in the end? And what's "hi" in Danish? Same thing?

[zhrmod]

@sammy005

What she says is "Well, gotta go back home, bye!"

Hej (hi) in Danish is both Hi and Bye.

[danishsports]

@zhrmod nej, hej == hej

farvel == hej hej 

[zhrmod]

@danishsports

Hold lige en pause og lyt til hvad hun siger.. Hun mente bestemt "Bye"

Midt om natten, er en af mine favorit film, min bedste ven vidste mig den første gang da vi var små og det var faktisk den første danske film jeg nogensinde så.
