Cigaretter, whiskey och vilda kvinnor [English translation]

(Spoken)

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild women.

You should look out for them well, my friends.

Believe me! I know what I'm talking about. Hear what happened to me.

(Sung)

I was so happy, I had a wife

My saved up money was good enough for us two

Then a wild women came in the way

She taught me to smoke and drink whiskey

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild women

It makes you go crazy, it destroys you

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild women

It makes you go crazy, it destroys you

(Spoken)

Yes, that's how it started and this is what happened.

(Sung)

Now my hands tramble so that the whiskey is spilled out

My face has wrinkles and I'm out of money

Never throw yourself into this destruction

It tastes so good, but you'll lose your farthings

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild women

It makes you go crazy, it destroys you

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild women

It makes you go crazy, it destroys you

(Spoken)

As you might hear, it has gone downhill, my friends.

But I would finally like to ask you a favour.

(Sung)

Carve these words into my tombstone:

"Here rests a slave of whiskey and women"

Beware, stranger, beware, my friend

So we won't have to read on your tombstone

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild women

It makes you go crazy, it destroys you

Cigarettes, whiskey and wild women

It makes you go crazy, it destroys you
