For din skyld

For your sake

For din skyld bru'r jeg brusende skørter For your sake I wear rustling skirts
For din skyld er jeg pigelig, sart og koket For your sake I'm girlish, sensitive and coy
For din skyld skal jeg hver gang erobres For your sake I have to be conquered every time
For din drøm er at tæmme mig, svage og bly For your dream is to tame me, weak and shy
Mens jeg tappert gør modstand While I bravely resist
  
Hver gang skal det være som dengang Every time, must be like then
Hver gang jeg vil gi', vil du hellere ta' Every time I give, you'd rather take
Men min drøm er at elske i venskab But my dream is to love in friendship
Jeg er træt af min kvindelighed I'm tired of my femininity
For den bli'r du så bredskuldret af For it makes you so broad-shouldered
Jeg syn's ikke om mænd, der er mænd I don't care for men, who are men
Men om mænd, der er menn'sker But for men, who are human
  
For din skyld er det slut med komedien For your sake the comedy's over
For din skyld er det tid at ta' maskerne af For your sake it's time to take off the masks
For din skyld gør din elskede oprør For your sake your lover revolts
Jeg er ikke dit bytte, men ligemand I'm not your prey, but peer
Menn'ske, jeg si'r det for din skyld Human, I say it for your sake
  
For ellers glider jeg For otherwise I'll slide away
