Torgny [English translation]

refr.

Na na na na na na na Torgny

This is life

Na na na na na na na Torgny

And those who live get to see

There died Palme, Wreeswijk and Beppe Wolgers

King on the yard in crooked snowjoggings

Moms smoked John Silver under the fan

Up jump the boogie in the closest set of swings

Once in the wall, two for the show

3 times more people hit the wall* today than back then

And we saw it all, not a calm second

Hide and seek, the only time you closed your eyes for a while

We said "this is ours", the yard was big then

We said the same thing when they put us in the school yard

The happy 80's ended, stuff like that happens

Bildt said steel bath, termination at the steelworks

Minister Persson said order in finances

Got a new school, we got twice as big classes

Crazy school, have we learnt anything

Yeah they can say what they want but that is ours, what's up Torgny

refr.

The interest on 500 percent

Bought Piggelin for 4 spänn (slang for Swedish Krona)

Belt on hard and they all had to fight against

The parents had to look for red stickers in the store

The dirty kid

Smell of gun powder

The talk for the can

Riksbyggen put locks on the trash rooms

For the Jugoslavs in the refugee center

Who were here a few years, then they probably had to move back home again

Greenery on the knees, scrapes

Everything was so easy in our backyard

We saw when Rocky fought with Ivan Drago

And Rambo with Talibans, on the same team then

No matter how fast you ran

His mom, called his mom

Called the mom of he who smashed the window

That was no special year

Yeah they can say what they want but that is ours, what's up Torgny

refr.

On your bushes the berries were fermented

Togge, why is your nose so red

No institution, some park

But we wore out our soles on the same asphalt

And the same stairs

And we were the richest in the world every time we got to recycle

It meant much, 21 gears on the bicycle

But you didn't pull high gears of much

But the old ladies said it's probably about time

But the sun never bites on our plowed snowpacks

All this should remain, it won't be anything

But we heard how they said that the ice has gone

What's up Torgny, we haven't seen you since March now

And it stank in the whole 8B's stairwell

Mom said isn't it lovely that it's spring

She can say what she wants but that was ours, what's up Torgny
