Värsta Schlagern [English translation]

It starts out well, almost interesting

- Yeah, yeah, but maybe a bit too familiar

We're building up to the bridge, my friend

But it's not coming quite yet

Because we have half a verse left to do

- A repetition, as one usually does

We're building up to the bridge again

And here it comes finally

The tension rises before the point of the song

A really beefy refrain

And it is love and it is winds

It is eyes and they sparkle

And lots of other tired old cliches

Which say everything and

nothing at all

And it is stars and they are burning

It is the world and it disappears

And the title will sit like a punch in the gut

It is a proper schlager

Now it will be difficult to

come up with

- Something new to say, but whatever

This is only transport anyway

Which people will soon forget

Because what is rewarded with 12 points

Is a beefy refrain

And it is love and it is winds

It is eyes and they sparkle

And lots of other tired old cliches

Which say everything and

nothing at all

And it is stars and they are burning

It is the world and it disappears

And the title will sit like a punch in the gut

It is a proper schlager

If you don't want to mess up your chances of winning

You can steal something from ABBA and see the risk disappear

So everyone hold

on to your hats now

Here comes the key-change finally

And it is love and it is winds

It is eyes and they sparkle

And lots of other tired old cliches

Which say everything and

nothing at all

And it is stars and they are burning

It is the world and it disappears

And the title will sit like a punch in the gut

It is a proper schla-a-a-a-ger
