Som tysta tunga steg på väg mot dig
Domen föll trots att du alltid använt kondom
Å med lien på svaj väntar din gamle vän
Och som ni lekte när ni var barn
Du stod i givakt med din rygg rak och tog fyrahundra slag
Sömnen kom och du som låg så rätt i tiden
Domen föll som tårar mot din skärm
Sömnen kom som en åsikt högervriden
Men mot dollar och yen så blir döden lätt ett skämt
Och som ni lekte när ni var barn
Du förlorade ditt krig du står ensam kvar
Och ingen kommer till ditt försvar
Så du står givakt med din rygg rak och tar fyrahundra slag
"There was a young fellow from Kent, whose **** was exceedingly bent......"
While I was born there, I must be atypical.
To save himself trouble he put it in double
So instead of coming, he went!
Sorry, I'll get my coat ....
**Edit 1 month later: Please bring back Musik Non Stop to the mix. haven't heard it in a long, long time. at least not on the Rock Mix.
10 GODLIKE Heja Sverige !
I wonder who spends his/her/its time disliking my comments
Gosh! this was a great band! Never any idea what they’re saying, but it’s always so earnest…
Nowadays we have Google Translator - what a great invention! -

The verdict fell on a morning flight to London
Like silent heavy steps on the way to you
The verdict fell despite the fact that you always used a condom
Oh, with the scythe on the sway, your old friend is waiting
And as you played when you were a child
You stood guard with your back straight and took four hundred blows
The sleep came and you who were so right in time
The verdict fell like tears against your screen
Sleep came as an opinion twisted to the right
But against the dollar and the yen, death easily becomes a joke
And as you played when you were a child
You lost your war, you are left alone
And no one comes to your defense
So you stand guard with your back straight and take four hundred blows
A pretty tasty concoction if you ask me.
Not sure about Swedish but if you say it in a laahndon accent - its not a compliment
In Britain, it means a "loose woman"!

Hopefully good english translation:

Kent the band is quite good....My Grandmother used to smoke Kent Cigs....I wonder if those are still around ?
I hope not...Kent was the first filter tipped cigarette. Designed to keep
the tobacco from sticking to your lip, not for any health reasons. The
first filters were filled with asbestos, btw...

"As the quiet tongue rose toward you"
should actually be....
"As silent heavy steps towards you"
Google translate (lyrics into English):
The sentence fell on a morning flight to London
As the quiet tongue rose toward you
The sentence fell despite the fact that you always used condoms
With the lien on the sway, your old friend awaits
And as you played when you were a child
You stood straight with your back straight and took four hundred strokes
The sleep came and you who lay so right in time
The dome fell like tears against your screen
The sleep came as a right wing
But against the dollar and yen, death is easily a joke
And as you played when you were a child
You lost your war you're standing alone
And no one comes to your defense
So you're standing with your back straight and taking four hundred strokes

Kinda like Coldplay mixed in with later U2. In Swedish. Not my cuppa.
ewwwwwwww why
Tusin tuck.
This is the second song from Kent today, just since I've been at work.
"400 Blows" would be more correct in this context.
Does this song have any references to the famous Truffaut film Les Quatre Cents Coups? I'm not arty and sophisto enough to have seen it, but the phrase, if a good translation, is unlikely to be accidental. Fine song, whatever it means, and easily as good as the other Kent stuff played on RP. 8 from the Scandophile (is that a word?) Nottingham jury.
Edit: I thought so - according to the excellent People's Dictionary of Swedish, "slag" means, amongst other things, 'strike' or 'blow'. So the title must be a direct reference to the Truffaut film.

I see your point, but I'll take their singer over Robert Smith anytime.

The sentence fell on a morning flight to London
like quiet, heavy footsteps coming towards you.
The sentence fell even though you've always used condoms
and your old friend awaits you with his swinging scythe.And how you played when you were children
and you stood at attention with your back straight
and took 400 blows/hits
The sleep came, to you who kept up with time.
the judgment fell like tears on your screen/ shield
The sleep came like an extreme right-winged view (political right, extreme would be like fascism... might not be this extreme, though.)
but against dollar and yen, death easily becomes a joke.
And how you played when you were children
You lost your war
You are left there alone
and no one will come at your defense
So you stand at attention with your back straight and take 400 blows.
