Och visst är det bätter, men int' är det bra [English translation]

The days of my youth were filled with feisty competition and striving

Then came the time of old age and maturity

Old people sit and remember how it used to be

Sure it was better but it wasn't good

Before I was lively but so stupid

thank God I grew out of that

Now I'm serious as you should be

And sure it's better but it isn't good

Some things should change and some should remain I guess

What's uncomfortable you change

What you miss you should have

And sure it's better but it isn't good

I live like a bachelor and I guess it works

But a man wants a woman and a woman wants a man

Alone is ok, but you should be two people

And sure it's better but it isn't good

So you live as a couple and you're happy for a period of time

Then the terrible sadness takes over

Then you look for freedom because you should be free

And sure it's better but it isn't good

And when you have lived, yes then you will die

tendons and bones become flowers and hay

Everything that has become should become what t was

And sure it's better but it isn't good
