Min soldat [English translation]

My fiance was a fashion-geek, a dandy and prince charming

Might be, for my sake, that's the reason i fell for him

But now these times are over, since long ago

You saw it on my photograph

His shoes are too big, his hat is too tight

His pants are too small, and his coat is too long

But that doesn't matter, cause he is my soldier

Somewhere in sweden

You've seen on my picture, hair's not cut, I look groggy

At times I don't shave for weeks on end

But it doesn't matter, cause I am your soldier

Somewhere in Sweden

We had to stand at attention

We little women, for our guys in blue (1)

Who are lieing here and there

In forests and on skerry islets (2)

He says: "the pay we receive is pretty miserable"

So we can probably not get married this year

But that doesn't matter, cause he is my soldier

Somewhere in sweden

Yesterday I met by the train station

My darling, because he got leave

We drove home in the car

And he dressed in civilian clothes

Afterwards at the "cecil" pub, A table for two in the corner

He didn't talk a lot, but simply nodded and dozed off

But that doesn't matter, cause he is my soldier

Somewhere in sweden
