Grål

(original)
Vi hadde kjørt tredve mil i den gamle Cortinaen
Og Sod klaget som faen
Ikke no' å si på det
Basstromma på fanget knuste nesten kneet
Akkurat sånn er det i Canada
Sa Benny, han hadde sett et bilde i et blad
Javel sa vi vi humpet avsted
I tredve på en kjerrevei
Litt opp og ned
Da vi ankom snørra spurte vi noen folk
Jo Grål det er rett fram
Og Jonny var tolk
Vi slutta ikke å le
Før vi punkterte nære ved
I et gjørmehull i Tuftene
Omsider i en lysning inni skogen et sted
Der lå låven og et gammelt hus i le
Femti mil unna et menneske
Så her hadde han valgt å slå seg ned
Herregud besøk jublet Unni og Kjell
Som var vant til å være helt for seg selv
De disket opp og vi spiste og drakk
Det ble middag og kveld og Kjell ble skakk
Han løp ut i låven etter kontrabassen sin
Halte’n inn i stua den var like fin
Brølte: Nå er det bare å sette i gang
Og vi visste alle denne natta blir lang
Det stemte det jeg hadde mistanke om
De var uten inntekt og kassa var tom
Så det tok ikke no' tid å overtale dem
Om at jazzen va’kke død den var redningen
Så vi dro inn til byen for å tjene noen penger
Med kontrabass og Kjell plassert på en henger
Det var Benny på trommer og Sod på brett
Med Jonny på sax ble vi Gråls kvintett
Jeg hadde snakka med en kar han sa:
Jeg vet hva dere har
Dere var de største og bare dere tar
En session sammen og øver igjen
Er det ingen her som kan hamle opp med menn som dere
Han ordna fire jobber i København
To i Finland og to i Rotterdam
Vi spilte inn en plate drakk oss fulle hver kveld
Og alt var fryd og gammen sa Kjell
Han var lykkelig da jeg var lykkelig selv
Så lykkelig som et barn kan bli
Vi spilte rundt på klubber hele resten av det året
Og Jonny ble erstatta av en som het Kåre
Men en dag ble det stille vi så han felte en tåre
Det var det felles mavesåret
Senere forsvant Kjell nedi Oscarshamn
Med en Zulu-prinsesse uten navn
Og Sod ble innlagt han så syner han
Hadde drukket alt mulig bare aldri vann
Så Benny og jeg vi avlyste og dro
Tilbake til Oslo for å holde oss i ro
Men etter en stund var vi enige
Vi måtte se å samle noen musikere igjen
Igjen
(translation)
We had driven thirty miles in the old Cortina
And Sod complained like hell
Not something to say about it
The bass drum on his lap almost broke his knee
That's just the way it is in Canada
Said Benny, he had seen a picture in a magazine
Well, we said we hopped off
Thirty on a cart road
A little up and down
When we arrived at Snørra we asked some people
Jo Grål it's straight ahead
And Jonny was the interpreter
We did not stop laughing
Before we punctured close by
In a mud hole in Tuftene
Finally in a clearing inside the forest somewhere
There lay the barn and an old house sheltering
Fifty miles away from a human
So here he had chosen to settle down
Oh my God, Unni and Kjell cheered
Who was used to being completely to himself
They washed up and we ate and drank
It was dinner and evening and Kjell was shaken
He ran out into the barn for his double bass
Halte’n into the living room it was just as nice
Roared: Now just get started
And we all knew this night was going to be long
That was what I suspected
They were without income and the coffers were empty
So it did not take long to persuade them
That jazz was dead was the rescue
So we went into town to make some money
With double bass and Kjell placed on a trailer
It was Benny on drums and Sod on board
With Jonny on sax, we became Grål's quintet
I had talked to a guy he said:
I know what you have
You were the greatest and only you take
A session together and practice again
Is there no one here who can catch up with men like you?
He arranged four jobs in Copenhagen
Two in Finland and two in Rotterdam
We recorded a record, got drunk every night
And everything was joy and the old man said Kjell
He was happy when I was happy myself
As happy as a child can be
We played around clubs all the rest of that year
And Jonny was replaced by someone named Kåre
But one day we were quiet so he shed a tear
It was the common stomach ulcer
Later, Kjell disappeared down Oscarshamn
With an unnamed Zulu princess
And Sod was admitted he so he sees
Had drunk everything possible just never water
So Benny and I we canceled and left
Back to Oslo to keep us calm
But after a while we agreed
We had to see to gather some musicians again
Again
