Båtdrinkar [English translation]

They pick me up in the harbour

I have just the clothes on my back, no bag under my arm

I recognize the whole crew

have seen some of them relatively recently, others a long time ago

Migle around with my welcome drink

tie my shirt around my waist because the weather is nice

I turn around and look beyond the stern

I can barely see the land anymore, only water

My uncle shout something about an upper class-asshole so everyone can hear it

from where he lays sunbathing at the front

it smells good from the cabin, I go down to take a look

my grandmom is sitting there and she greets me with a smile

She says that I've grown since the last time she saw me

I smile and sit next to her

She has made her fish stew on the gas stove, oh I'm going to get so full

It's been a long time since I had something so nice

On deck, the guitars are out and people are getting ready to play

Cornelis has found his pick that he's been searching for

He starts the song together with Allan Edwall

and the whole boat starts to sing with them

Chorus.

This is how it works, we come and go

See you tomorrow or many years from now

but don't cry because we will see each other again

and then I'll make you a boat-drink my friend

Yes, they say that I have passed away

a child of the times

that has been written off

shortly after 6 pm

down at the clinic

a part of the statistics

but turn on the music, don't want to rest in peace when

Rönnerdahl is dancing with Calle Scheven

Bellman is drinking schnapps with Evert

like they did at Gyldene freden

We head towards Buenos Aires

Goodbye Las Vegas, under no circumstances

will anyone be able to get on

as long as the heart beats, the boat can't go anywhere

so many we'll have a break or two

Mr bartender you don't need to be in such a rush

no one cares about time

Charlie Norman plays the piano and miss Zetterlund is next to him but

I sit and write

when I realize that I don't have any pills to stop sea-sickness

Should I make you a boat drink my friend

it's been quite a long time

but anyhow, it's good to see you again

I thought you lived in heaven

rather than in the hammock at the stern, so tell me

is this the end, if that's the case then I'm finally seeing the light

This is how it is when we come and go

but still not like Christmas even -72, that goes

No, this is no brig Bluebird by Hull

no storm can make us row this boat to the shore

no dark clouds because it's always sunny above our mast

if this is real or not, if I think it's true

never again will a single tear fall

we're standing there. the shore is waiting for you

my friend when it's your turn don't be afraid

because I'll stand there with a boat drink already prepared

I'll have your boat drink prepared by then

I'll have your boat drink prepared by then

I'll have your boat drink prepared by then

When it's your turn I'll have your boat drink prepared
