Lyrics of Tavlor utan ram - Eva Dahlgren

Tavlor utan ram (original)

Han sa jag r den lyckligaste
jag vet det r lgn
jag sg hans ansikte i oskyddad smn
han talar i drmmarna
om de vinglsa fglarna
hans liv r ett galleri
dr hnger ramar av guld
runt reproduktioner av liv
utan blod svett och skuld
s ltt han frleder mej
trots att det r yta han visar mej
han sa jag har ftt allting
allt en mnniska vill ha jag ser ett dockskp
med Barbie och Ken
barnflicka barn
Men kan han kallas familjefar
bara fr att en kvinna har
burit hans barn
hans folk r vr verhet
och sedan jag var barn
har jag ftt lra mig att
det r som dom man ska vara
men gamla vrderingar
faller i delar av det jag ser
kostymen r flckad
av ngons otrogna fru
hans egen ligger full i ett intecknat hus
barnen och hunden r sedan lnge borta
att han ser sig som frmer
r en gta
han r redo fr ansiktslyftning
att slta ut de bittra dragen
trots att han lever det goda livet
har han en knsla av att vara bedragen
medan han polerar ramarna
s fanns det ett annat val
tavlor utan ram

(translation)

He said I'm the happiest
I know it's a lie
I saw his face in unprotected smn
he speaks in dreams
about the wobbly birds
his life is a gallery
there hang frames of gold
around reproductions of life
without blood sweat and guilt
so ltt he delivers me
even though it's the surface he shows me
he said I got everything
everything a human wants I see a dolls cup
with Barbie and Ken
nanny child
But can he be called a family man
just because a woman has
carried his children
his people are ours
and since I was a child
have I been taught to
it's who they should be
but old values
falls into parts of what I see
the suit is patched
of ngon's unfaithful wife
his own lies full in a mortgaged house
the children and the dog are long gone
that he sees himself as frmer
r en gta
he is ready for facelift
to smooth out the bitter features
even though he lives the good life
he has a feeling of being deceived
while polishing the frames
s there was another choice
paintings without frame
