For din skyld bru’r jeg brusende skørter
For din skyld er jeg pigelig, sart og koket
For din skyld skal jeg hver gang erobres
For din drøm er at tæmme mig, svage og bly
Mens jeg tappert gør modstand
Hver gang skal det være som dengang
Hver gang jeg vil gi’, vil du hellere ta’
Men min drøm er at elske i venskab
Jeg er træt af min kvindelighed
For den bli’r du så bredskuldret af
Jeg syn’s ikke om mænd, der er mænd
Men om mænd, der er menn’sker
For din skyld er det slut med komedien
For din skyld er det tid at ta’ maskerne af
For din skyld gør din elskede oprør
Jeg er ikke dit bytte, men ligemand
Menn’ske, jeg si’r det for din skyld
For ellers glider jeg
Because of you I wear rustling skirts
Because of you I'm girlish, sweet and coquettish
Because of you, I must be conquered every time
For your dream ist to tame me, make me weak and leaden
While I'm offering resistance
Every time it will be like back then
Every time I want want to give, you'd rather take
But my dream is to love in friendship
I'm tired of my womanhood
Because it makes you broad-shouldered
I'm not into men who are men
But into men who are humans
Because of you the comedy is over
Because of you it's time to take off the masks
Because of you your lover is making a fuss
I'm not your prey but your companion
A human, I'm saying that because of you
Or else I'll slip away
