Lyrics of Kjykkenbordet - Tønes

Kjykkenbordet (original)

Kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt om tåre å snått
Å mat så ikkje smakte så fryktelig godt
«Gap opp» sa eg
«Lige ikkje?»
Dar e ikkje någe så hette eg ikkje lige
Du må eda, du må eda ellers bli du sjuge
Her kjeme flyet bzzzz, nå kjeme båten, dugg dugg dugg dugg — gap opp
Kjykkenbordet huske sikkert smatting å slorping å raping
Å flekka på dugen så aldri gjenge vekk
Å det huske sikkert pappa då dugen hekta seg i beltespenno
Han reiste seg å drog det med seg det havna i en hau på gålvet
Ja kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt i timevis
Men det står bare der å holde kjeft
Å det håbe at någen snart ska strama de dinglete beinane
Å mange gånge he det hørt pappa heva stemmen sin å sei
«De må ikkje bare dra, de må løfta!
Ska de ødelegga det bordet?
De måkje bare dra, de må løfta, ser de ikkje at det helde på te å rasa ihoba?»
Kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt om melkeglass så velta
Å om skorpe så blei ligganse igjen
Om nase så lokte på gammalt pålegg, om heimabakt brød kontra kjøpt
Ja, kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt i timevis
Men det står bare der å tie
Ja det står bare der å skrangle for skruene te beinan e lause
Kjykkenbordet svaie når heile familien ede på likt
Beinane sko våre stramde men det e sånne ting me gjør ei annar gong
Finne ikkje skrujernet nå, vett ikkje kor det ligge ei gång
Så kan me sidda stille å eda å ikkje snakka meir om det
Så kan kjykkenbordet bare svaia så ferdig med det

(translation)

The kitchen table could certainly be told about tears and stings
The food didn't taste so terribly good
"Shut up," I said
"Not yet?"
There is no one, so my name is not right
You must eda, you must eda or you will be sick
Here comes the plane bzzzz, now comes the boat, dew dew dew dew — gape up
The kitchen table surely remember smacking and slurping and belching
Staining the tablecloth never went away
Oh, I'm sure dad remembers that when the cloth got caught in the belt buckle
He got up and dragged it with him, it ended up in a heap on the floor
Yes, the kitchen table could probably be told for hours
But it just says shut up
Let's hope someone tightens the dangling legs soon
Oh many times he heard dad raise his voice to say
"They must not just leave, they must lift!
Are they going to destroy that table?
They just have to go, they have to lift, don't they see that it's time to crash the hill?"
The kitchen table could probably be told about milk glasses overturned
Oh if crust then stay put again
If the nose is tempted by old toppings, if home-baked bread versus bought
Yes, the kitchen table could probably be talked about for hours
But it just says to be silent
Yes it just says there to rattle the screws te beinan e lause
The kitchen table sways when the whole family agrees
Our legs were tight in our shoes, but that's the sort of thing I do another time
Can't find the screwdriver now, don't know where it is once
Then we can sit quietly and say no more about it
Then the kitchen table can just sway and be done with it
