| Han vntar p grden och klockan slr.
| He waits for the farm and the clock strikes.
|
| De har gtt in nu och tiden gr.
| They have entered now and time is running out.
|
| Han vntar inte ensam, dr str en man
| He does not wait alone, there stands a man
|
| hon lovat tro innan han frsvann.
| she promised to believe before he disappeared.
|
| De ser p varandra och anar svek,
| They look at each other and suspect betrayal,
|
| nu r det allvar och ingen lek.

|
| Ge dig, vi vet att hon r grann,
| Give you, we know she's a neighbor,
|
| att hon kan locka andra n sin man.
| that she can attract others n her husband.
|
| Du hoppas att hon har knslor kvar,
| You hope she has feelings left,
|
| men snart sger prsten amen.
| but soon the priest says amen.
|
| Hon sitter p vagnen i all sin prakt,
| She sits on the carriage in all its glory,
|
| och hon har karlarna i sin makt,
| and she has the men in her power,
|
| Hon samlar sina kjolar och stiger ner,
| She collects her skirts and descends,
|
| och han blir yr av den syn han ser.
| and he is dizzy at the sight he sees.
|
| Han minns hennes vrme och hennes hud.
| He remembers her warmth and her skin.
|
| Nej, frr ska djvulen ta hans brud!
| No, before the devil will take his bride!
|
| Och dr p sjlva trappan till kyrkans port
| And go up the stairs to the church gate
|
| hrs det en svordom, sen gr det fort.
| hear it a swear word, then it goes fast.
|
| Ge dig, din djvla krigarsjl.
| Give you, you devil warrior soul.
|
| Fr vi en chans s ska du tas ihjl.
| If we get a chance, you should be killed.
|
| Han har redan bruden i sin famn,
| He already has the bride in his arms,
|
| och brudgummen str med skammen,
| and the bridegroom is ashamed,
|
| Ge dig, vad har du hjrnan till?
| Give yourself, what do you have the brains for?
|
| Du kan ju se att flickan inte vill.
| You can see that the girl does not want to.
|
| Men bruden hon ler emot sin vn,
| But the bride she laughs at her friend,
|
| och prsten han sger amen.
| and the priest he says amen.
|
| Ingen har sett dom sen,
| No one has seen them since,
|
| dom sger hon sg lycklig ut.
| they say she looks so happy.
|
| Brudgummen letar n som bara narrar skulle gra.
| The groom is looking for n that only fools would do.
|
| Ge dig, jag orkar inte mer!
| Give it to me, I can not take it anymore!
|
| Och nd vill hon prva allt han ger.
| And now she wants to try everything he gives.
|
| Hon vet att hon borde sga nej,
| She knows she should say no,
|
| tills prsten har sagt sitt amen,
| until the priest has said his amen,
|
| Ge dig, vi kanske kommer dit,
| Give you, we might get there,
|
| men innan dess kan jag vl f en bit.
| but before that I may well get a piece.
|
| Du har ju s mycket kvar nd,
| You have so much left,
|
| sen delar vi vl p skammen. | then we share the shame. |
