I just wanted to know what “Det som var nu” means in English... I’ve found some translations but they don’t make any sense!

“Allt det som var nu flyr bort” = “All that it was now flees away”

“Det som var nu” should then be “That it was now” or “What it was now”.

Taken out of context it doesn’t make sense, but put it in the sentence in which it’s sung.

“What used to be now” is sort of close.

I like this song very much! I remember I’ve seen the English translation of lyric on runto.roxette.org.
You can check.

I like this version more than the English demo (but on the other hand....the English one is a DEMO) :-)

@thomas: How do you translate into English “Allt det som brukade vara”?

tevensso (moderator) said on June 2, 2004 11:33:

I’d use “Everything that used to be”.
