Timber [English translation]

From the boondocks in Sweden

To Vancouver in Canada

Traveled a man with swedish colours

To chop down trees in the forests

He was big and tall like a pine1

But he had an obsession

He only drank beer and angostura2

He thought that it would make him healthier

And when he entered the deep forest

He was drunk as hell

His luggage was like a bar

It contained strong beverages

But he worked his ass off

Until it started to sway back and forth

And then all his friends ran away

And started shouting to eachother

Timber (timber)

They shouted as he fell down

Timber (timber)

Because he was almost always wasted

He always got invited to parties

And he was very popular at those

Because he was a man that could party

But there could be problems

The furniture were always at risk

Anywhere he toppled around

No one could ever be sure

That he wouldn't knock something over

Timber (timber)

They shouthed as he swayed like a pinetree

Timber (timber)

And then fell into the table with a bang

But finally one day, he ran out of money

He went home to Sweden and became non-drinker

But even today, you can hear wild roars in the forests of Canada

Timber (timber)

They shouted as he fell down

Timber (timber)

Because he was almost always wasted

Yes...

Yeho...

Timber (timber)

They shout in the forest even today

Timber (timber)

When you chop down trees in Canada

Timber (timber)

Timber (timber)

Timber (timber)

Timber (timber)
