Jeg så dig første gang på jobbet

I saw you for the first time at work

En helt almindelig morgenstund

On a completely ordinary morning

Men noget vågned' inde i mig

But something awakened inside me

En følelse, jeg ikke kendte dengang

A feeling I didn't know back then

Jeg vidste ikke, hvad det var

I didn't know what it was

Eller hvor mit hjerte ville hen

Or where my heart would go

Men når jeg tænker tilbage nu

But when I look back now

Så ville jeg møde dig igen

I would meet you again

Tanja, du er dejlig

Tanja, you are lovely

Du betyder mer', end du tror

You mean more than you think

Der er så meget, jeg vil sige

There is so much I want to say

Men det rækker ikke med et ord

But a single word isn't enough

Tanja, du er dejlig

Tanja, you are lovely

Du har en plads i hjertet mit

You have a place in my heart

Og hvis du kunne se dig selv

And if you could see yourself

Sådan som jeg ser dig, lidt for lidt

The way I see you, little by little

Årene er gået siden dengang

Years have passed since then

Men du har aldrig været langt væk

But you have never been far away

Du har altid haft en plads i mig

You have always had a place in me

En følelse, der aldrig helt forsvandt

A feeling that never quite disappeared

Jeg har altid haft et øje på dig

I've always had an eye on you

Og det har jeg stadig den dag i dag

And I still do to this day

For der er noget særligt ved dig

Because there's something special about you

Som gør, at jeg dig aldrig glemmer

That makes me never forget you

Tanja, du er dejlig

Tanja, you are lovely

Du betyder mer', end du tror

You mean more than you think

Der er så meget, jeg vil sige

There is so much I want to say

Men det rækker ikke med et ord

But a single word isn't enough

Tanja, du er dejlig

Tanja, you are lovely

Du har en plads i hjertet mit

You have a place in my heart

Og hvis du kunne se dig selv

And if you could see yourself

Sådan som jeg ser dig, lidt for lidt

The way I see you, little by little

Dit smil har altid betaget mig

Your smile has always captivated me

Det er det smukkeste, jeg ved

It's the most beautiful thing I know

Det lyser op i alt omkring mig

It lights up everything around me

Og fylder mit hjerte med fred

And fills my heart with peace

Måske var vejen lang til nu

Maybe the road to now was long

Måske var tiden ikke klar

Maybe the time wasn't right

Men når jeg står her tæt på dig

But when I stand here close to you

Føles det, som om vi fandt hinanden

It feels like we found each other

Da turen gik til Jylland

When the trip went to Jutland

Sad du lige ved siden af mig

You sat right next to me

Den plads i bilen føltes rigtig

That spot in the car felt right

Jeg ville ønske, jeg sad dér med dig igen

I wish I was sitting there with you again

For nogle øjeblikke bliver hos én

Because some moments stay with you

Længe efter turen er forbi

Long after the trip is over

Og hvis jeg selv måtte vælge

And if I could choose myself

Var der mange flere ture med dig

There would be many more trips with you

Tanja, du er dejlig

Tanja, you are lovely

Du betyder mer', end du tror

You mean more than you think

Der er så meget, jeg vil sige

There is so much I want to say

Men det rækker ikke med et ord

But a single word isn't enough

Tanja, du er dejlig

Tanja, you are lovely

Du har en plads i hjertet mit

You have a place in my heart

Og hvis du kunne se dig selv

And if you could see yourself

Sådan som jeg ser dig, lidt for lidt

The way I see you, little by little

Jeg fik lidt tid med dig på Tinderbox

I got a little time with you at Tinderbox

Et øjeblik, jeg gemmer på

A moment I cherish

Men jeg savner flere stunder sammen

But I miss more moments together

Flere minder, vi kan bygge på

More memories we can build upon

Jeg ønsker, du kan se mig

I wish you could see me

Sådan som jeg ser på dig

The way I look at you

For der er noget, jeg håber på

Because there's something I hope for

Måske en vej for dig og mig

Maybe a path for you and me

Når livet skifter spor

When life changes course

Som det sommetider gør

As it sometimes does

Så håber jeg at gå med dig

Then I hope to walk with you

Og være den, du søger

And be the one you seek

Jeg vil gerne holde din hånd

I want to hold your hand

Ikke bare i en drøm

Not just in a dream

Men stå ved din side i livet

But stand by your side in life

Og vise dig, hvad du betyder for mig

And show you what you mean to me

Tanja, du er dejlig

Tanja, you are lovely

Du betyder mer', end du tror

You mean more than you think

Der er så meget, je

There is so much I want to say
