lyrics

TÄNK INTE EFTER
Det tjänar inget till att undra varför
Om du inte förstått det än
Det tjänar inget till att undra varför
Du borde sett det komma för längesen
När morronen gryr och solen snart går upp
Ser du ut genom fönstret längs vägen jag gått
Du är varför, har du förstått vad jag vill?
Tänk inte efter, tänk till

Det tjänar inget till att tända ljuset
Det ljus jag aldrig såg
Nej, det tjänar inget till att tända ljuset
Det är på den mörka sidan vägen jag går
Men jag önskar att det fanns nåt du gjorde eller sa’
som fick mej att vilja stanna kvar
Men vi lyssnade ju ändå aldrig på vad vi sa’
Så tänk inte efter, låt det va’

Det spelar ingen roll vad du säjer
Vad du gör eller vill
Det spelar ingen roll vad du än säjer
Jag har vänt ryggen till
Jag säjer inte det var dåligt, men det var ju inte bra
Vi kunde gjort det bättre men nu va’ det som det va’
Min tid är alltför dyrbar för att ge dej än en dag
Så tänk inte efter, låt det va’

Ja, min tid är alltför dyrbar för att ge dej en dag till
Tänk inte efter, tänk till

Back-translation
DON'T THINK TWICE, JUST THINK (AHEAD)
The expression Don’t think twice in Swedish is “Tänk inte efter”, which means 1: like “Don’t think twice”, 2: “Don’t think “after” something has happened”. The Swedish expression “Tänk till” means 1: “just think (harder/better)” or 2: “think ahead”, before something can go wrong” or 3: “think to(wards something)”, like being on the way to something new.

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why
If you don’t know by now
No, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
You shoulda seen it comin’ a long time ago
At the break of dawn, when the sun’s about to rise
You look out your window and see the road I’ve just gone by
You're the reason, have you understood
Don't think twice, just think (harder).

It ain't no use in turning on the light
The light I never saw
No, it ain't no use in turning on the light
I'm walkin’ on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you had done or said
that made me want to stay
But then, we never listened too much of what we said
But don't think twice, let it be.

It doesn’t matter what you say
What you do or want
No, it doesn’t matter whatever you say
I’ve turned my back on you
I ain't a-saying it was bad, but then, it wasn’t either really any good
We could have done better but now it was like it was
My time is much too precious to give another day to you
Don't think twice, let it be.
Yeah, my time is much too precious to give one more day to you
Don't think twice, just think ahead.
