*chuckles* We love 70's tunes. I was a radio DJ when the single for this one arrived at the station.
"Running On Empty" - Jackson Browne (Live 1979) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNmIbSre7Tw
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields In '65, I was 17 and running up 101 I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running on, running into the sun But I'm running behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive In '69, I was 21 and I called the road my own I don't know when that road turned on to the road I'm on
Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running on, running into the sun But I'm running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don't know about anyone but me If it takes all night, that'll be all right If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through Looking into their eyes I see them running, too
Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running on, running into the sun But I'm running behind
Honey, you really tempt me You know the way you look so kind I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind (Running on) You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find (Running blind) Running into the sun but I'm running behind
Kambodsja er fri-Norwegian song about Khmer Rouge-Hans Og Stein-Unknown date https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esjtvZiYSho
There is a spring sun in Trondheim And people are happy and walking around; A winter has passed, And things have returned to normal like they should’ve We have read that phnom pehn has fallen There are cheering crowds everywhere! Cambodia is free! The world is going forwards, The people are cheering in the streets Because five years of war is over. (music plays) You can just sit there And sulk for yourself, Mr. Ford You can sit there and sulk Until you set a new world record. That which you stand for has suffered a defeat. The people and the world are going forward today! Cambodia is free! The world is going forwards, The people are cheering in the streets Because five years of war is over. (music plays) What was it that an old and wise Chinese man once said? Revolution is the main trend in the world today. A small country can defeat a big one. What is it that Cambodia has done? Cambodia is free! The world is going forwards, The people are cheering in the streets Because five years of war is over. Ja! Cambodia is free! The world is going forwards, The people are cheering in the streets Because five years of war is over. Cambodia is free! The world is going forwards, The people are cheering in the streets Because five years of war is over. One more time! Cambodia is free! The world is going forwards, The people are cheering in the streets Because five years of war is over.

Clean shirt, new shoes And I don't know where I am goin' to Silk suit, black tie (black tie) I don't need a reason why They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man Gold watch, diamond ring I ain't missin' not a single thing Cufflinks, stick pin When I step out I'm gonna do you in They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man Top coat, top hat And I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat Black shades, white gloves Lookin' sharp, lookin' for love They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
He was born on a summer day, 1951 And with a slap of a hand, he had landed as an only son His mother and father said, "What a lovely boy We'll teach him what we learned, ah, yes, just what we learned We'll dress him up warmly, and we'll send him to school It'll teach him how to fight, to be nobody's fool"
Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy
In the summer of '53, his mother brought him a sister And she told him, "We must attend to her needs She's so much younger than you" Well, he ran down the hall and he cried Oh, how could his parents have lied? When they said he was their only son He thought he was their only one
Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy
He left home on a winter day, 1969 And he hoped to find all the love he had lost in that earlier time Well, his sister grew up, and she married a man He gave her a son, ah, yes, a lovely son They dressed him up warmly, they sent him to school It taught him how to fight, to be nobody's fool
Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy
Whoa-whoa-whoa, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy
7 years, song by Lucas Graham Once I was seven years old, my mama told me Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once I was seven years old It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker By 11 smoking herb and drinking burning liquor Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure Once I was 11 years old, my daddy told me Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely Once I was 11 years old I always had that dream like my daddy before me So I started writing songs, I started writing stories Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me Once I was 20 years old, my story got told Before the morning sun, when life was lonely Once I was 20 years old (Lukas Graham) I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major I got my boys with me atleast those in favor And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later Once I was 20 years old, my story got told I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me Once I was 20 years old Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming Soon we'll be 30 years old I'm still learning about life My woman brought children for me So I can sing them all my songs And I can tell them stories Most of my boys are with me Some are still out seeking glory And some I had to leave behind My brother I'm still sorry Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61 Remember life and then your life becomes a better one I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me Soon I'll be 60 years old Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me Soon I'll be 60 years old Once I was seven years old, my mama told me Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once I was seven years old Once I was seven years old
In science class that year, we could bring 45 rpm singles to class to listen to on Fridays. That song was among those we listened to, which also included Alice Cooper 'Schools Out For Summer' and...
"Crocodile Rock" - Elton John (Live 1974) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nEbapj0-Cc
I remember when rock was young Me and Susie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock While the other kids were rocking 'round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights When Susie wore her dresses tight And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
But the years went by and the rock just died Susie went and left us for some foreign guy Long nights crying by the record machine Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans But they'll never kill the thrills we've got Burning up to the Crocodile Rock Learning fast as the weeks went past We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights When Susie wore her dresses tight And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

Often you can search for "(song name) lyrics English" and find something at least vaguely useful without needing to do the work yourself. We don't need a proper translation, just a reasonable idea of what's going on, and the onus is on the person posting to provide that reasonable idea.
Of course, many posts in English by native speakers are incomprehensible, so the bar is set pretty low!

Land of Hope and Glory, A. C. Benson, 1902 Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned, God make thee mightier yet! On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned, Once more thy crown is set. Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Empire shall be strong.
Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee? Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet, God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.
Thy fame is ancient as the days, As Ocean large and wide: A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, A stern and silent pride; Not that false joy that dreams content With what our sires have won; The blood a hero sire hath spent Still nerves a hero son.
Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee? Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet, God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you It's late September and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home Just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurts The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age But that don't worry me none, in my eyes, you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes, my love, you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home Just to save you from being alone You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover, and mother, what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning, kick me in the head Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home 'Cause you didn't wanna be alone You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playin' pool Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart, but I love you anyway Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days Ooh, ooh, ooh

Our life together is so precious together, We have grown - we have grown, Although our love is still special, Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone,
It's been so long since we took the time, No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly, But when I see you darling, It's like we both are falling in love again, It'll be just like starting over - starting over,
Everyday we used to make it love, Why can't we be making love nice and easy, It's time to spread our wings and fly, Don't let another day go by my love, It'll be just like starting over - starting over,
Why don't we take off alone, Take a trip somewhere far, far away, We'll be together all alone again, Like we used to in the early days, Well, well, darling,
It's been so long since we took the time, No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly, But when I see you darling, It's like we both are falling in love again, It'll be just like starting over - starting over,
Our life together is so precious together, We have grown - we have grown, Although our love is still special, Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone.
