    Well, they have an English version of the exact same song... I guess the band itself did its best to translate it for you.

    But then it is a bit like translating doggish into cattish...

    EDIT: Translating lyrics are actually next to impossible, as good lyrics exist more of connotations than anything else. And eventhough you can translate the actual words, you cant translate the connotations of the words.

    As an example, one of the sentences in this song refers to a well known Swedish poem from the 17th century or so. You can translate the sentence, but you can never translate the feel that sentence gives someone being grown up with the poem.
