24 december

Snippet

Lyrics
Jag stannar här i kylan.
Hela natten, hör hur staden lever.
Och hade stan vatt öppen.
Så hade jag gått nånstans och druckit mej full.

24e december.
En vind som i september.
Trött som februari.
Fallen som november.

Nej, jag skulle stannat hemma.
Och hoppat över allt som julen för med sej.
Och hade jag haft pengar.
Så hade jag handlat ditt hjärta åt mej.

24e december...

English translation

24th of December
I'm staying here in the cold
All night, listen to the city's life
And had the city been open
I'd gone and gotten myself drunk

24th of December
A wind like in September
Tired like February
Fallen like November

No I should've stayed home
And skipped all what Christmas brings
And had I had any money
I'd bought your heart for myself

24th of December...
