Ballad om 100 år(original) |
| Vad blir av alla fagra kvinns |
| Som varje man så gärna tar i? |
| Var tror ni Kleopatra finns |
| Och konung Eriks liten Kari? |
| Romeos Julia som var i |
| Ungdomens fagra blomningsvår |
| Är lika död som Mata Hari |
| Men vad gör det om hundra år? |
| Don Juan var en usel skurk |
| Han valde vägen som var bred han |
| Sokrates tog en duktig slurk |
| Ur giftbägaren och for hädan |
| Han gjorde det med flit, emedan |
| Hans fru var svartsjuk, sur och svår |
| Hon gifte säkert om sig sedan |
| Men vad gör det om hundra år? |
| Casanova är välbekant |
| Mången mö han övermannat |
| Och om allt han sagt är sant |
| Var han en så upptagen man att |
| Han knappast kan haft tid till annat |
| Han har gjort mer än en man förmår |
| Men även hans maskin har stannat |
| Och vad gör det om hundra år? |
| Var finns Potifars vilda fru |
| Hon som drog Josef ned i sängen? |
| Var finns sköna Susanna nu |
| Hon som plaskade i bassängen? |
| Fast hennes make var en sträng en |
| Blotta' hon båd' barm och lår |
| Nog såg hon gubbarna i terrängen |
| Men vad gör det om hundra år? |
| Medborgare, vem kan förklara |
| Att döden aldrig stilla står? |
| (translation) |
| What will become of all the beautiful women |
| Like every man is so happy to take in? |
| Where do you think Cleopatra is? |
| And King Erik's little Kari? |
| Romeo's Juliet who was in |
| The beautiful flowering spring of youth |
| Is as dead as Mata Hari |
| But what will it do in a hundred years? |
| Don Juan was a lousy villain |
| He chose the road that was wide for him |
| Socrates took a good swig |
| Out of the poison cup and from now on |
| He did it on purpose, because |
| His wife was jealous, sour and difficult |
| She probably remarried after that |
| But what will it do in a hundred years? |
| Casanova is well known |
| He overpowered many |
| And if everything he said is true |
| Was he such a busy man that |
| He can hardly have had time for anything else |
| He has done more than a man is capable of |
| But even his machine has stopped |
| And what will it do in a hundred years? |
| Where is potiphar's wild wife |
| The one who pulled Josef into bed? |
| Where is beautiful Susanna now |
| The one who splashed in the pool? |
| Although her husband was a strict one |
| She bared both bosom and thighs |
| Sure enough, she saw the old men in the terrain |
| But what will it do in a hundred years? |
| Citizens, who can explain |
| That death never stands still? |
