Irene

I første klasse mødte jeg dig

In first grade I met you

Og verden blev lidt større den dag

And the world became a little bigger that day

To små veninder side om side

Two little friends side by side

Med smil og drømme på vores vej

With smiles and dreams on our way

Årene gik men du blev her

Years passed but you stayed here

Min bedste veninde min trygge ro

My best friend, my safe calm

Du er så stærk og kærlig

You are so strong and loving

Nede på jorden som kun du kan bo

Down to earth as only you can be

Irene du er der altid

Irene, you are always there

Når Mit hjerte har brug for svar

When my heart needs answers

Irene jeg vil altid elske dig for den du er

Irene, I will always love you for who you are

Min bedste veninde mit lys mit nær

My best friend, my light, my closeness

Vi rejste ned til sydens sol

We traveled down to the southern sun

Med varme dage og sand ved vand

With warm days and sand by the water

Vi havde tiden for os selv

We had time to ourselves

Og holdt fast i hinandens hånd

And held onto each other's hand

Og når natten blev stille og lang

And when the night became quiet and long

Kunne vi blive siddende og snakke

We could sit and talk

Vi grinede til tårerne kom

We laughed until tears came

Og delte det der kunne gøre ondt

And shared what could hurt

For du har altid set mig som jeg er

Because you have always seen me as I am

Og aldrig bedt mig at være en anden

And never asked me to be someone else

Du står ved min side når livet er svært

You stand by my side when life is difficult

Og rækker mig din hånd

And reach me your hand

Når glæden kommer deler vi den

When joy comes, we share it

Når sorgen banker på står vi tæt

When sorrow knocks, we stand close

Det er sådan et venskab skal føles

That's how a friendship should feel

Ærligt varmt og aldrig glemt

Honest, warm, and never forgotten

Fra 1 klasse og til i dag

From 1st grade until today

Har du været en del af mit liv

You have been a part of my life

Og jeg vil aldrig glemme hver en latter

And I will never forget every laugh

Og al den kærlighed du giver mig

And all the love you give me

Så her er mit løfte til dig

So here is my promise to you

At jeg også vil være der

That I will also be there

For min bedste veninde Irene

For my best friend Irene

Jeg Elsker dig præcis som du er

I love you exactly as you are
