I love pretty much everything about this video. Not like, not tolerate -- love. Everything. Though it's a little weird to love a song that's in a language I can't understand (in this case, Swedish? I think?). Stay out of the YouTube comments unless you 1) understand Swedish, 2) want to fight about the relative superiority of Scandanavian countries, or 3) want to insult religious people / be insulted for no particular reason.
Lucky for you, I've waded into the cesspool myself to bring you the English translation,1 which is approximate and not professional but which seems to more or less agree on most points with the approximate and non-professional translations at YouTube. Obviously I'm willing to be corrected by Swedish speakers in the audience, if any.
I
made up a fire for you,
and now the whole forest is burning.
Now
I know what you're going to say,
and it feels just like the first time.
Come
show them that its us,
but everybody already knew.
Out
you're running away with me;
yes, can you hear them singing?
Just
as if everything was predetermined,
like the earth goes around the sun.
Who
could've taken my place?
He just doesn't exist.
They
are talking about something wonderful:
I'm there to tell the story.
Big,
bigger than I ever imagined --
my head is dizzy (spinning).
Yeah can you hear them singing? (repeat to end)
