Several years ago, my friend in Denmark sent me a CD with a bunch of Danish songs on it. This song is "Drømmer Jeg" by Johnny Deluxe. I thought it was funny how much the Danish lyrics sounded like English words throughout the song, so I wrote an English version down. Now, several years later, I decided to make this video.
Inspired by misheardlyricsguy's "Yellow Ledbetter" video.
**YES, I AM AWARE THAT THE GIRL IS SINGING IN SWEDISH. PLEASE STOP TELLING ME!**
Here is the ACTUAL translation (thank you Braka89!):
I'm standing and looking at Øresund,
Dreaming about your eyes and your mouth.
You are somewhere over there right now;
I would swim if I could
Because I miss you swedish "sweethearts",
But you're outside my radius.
Because I can never forget you,
Oh no, Oh no;
When I'm awake I am dreaming
of you, of you.
Are you dreaming of me?
Are you dreaming of me?
I'm taking a walk along the beach with my dog
Looking at the dark Øresund.
It is so awkward to be lonesome here;
I'm thinking about what you're doing.
I miss your words that I hardly understand,
But they actually say everything anyway.
Chorus
You are my Rachel, I am your Ross.
Why why why
Is there water between us?
I want you in my arms.
Why why why
Is it a hundred thousand miles to Copenhagen?
Because I will never forget you,
Oh no! Oh no!
When I'm naked I think about you,
about you, about you;
Am I turning you on?
Am I turning you on?
