Lyrics of Lena Green - Torsson

Lena Green (original)

Det var Kalle o Kristina, dom var båda tjugo år
Hade utflykt i lingonskogen o dom gifte sig igår
Solen lyste ner i gläntan, o Stina sjöng av glad förväntan
O dom hade några hinkar o en matsäck med kaffetår
De' e söndag, i september
Plocka lingon, sådant händer
Stina plockade ett par liter.
Flugor surrade o det var hett
Kalle rökte, ingen sa nåt.
Klockan var halv ett
Kalle reste sig med ett visst besvär
O välte ut hinken med Stinas bär
Sedan började Stina gråta.
Kalle flina' lite snett
De' e söndag, i september
Plocka lingon, sådant händer
«Sluta flina, jäkla drummel», skrek Kristina ganska hårt
«Det e väl min sak, om jag skrattar», svarade Kalle lite torrt
Han rycket på axlarna som om inget hade hänt
O satte sig ner o tände en Kent
Stina torkade sig om näsan, hon fick se en räv längre bort
De' e söndag, i september
Plocka lingon, sådant händer

(translation)

It was Kalle and Kristina, they were both twenty years old
Had an excursion in the lingonberry forest and they got married yesterday
The sun shone down in the clearing, and Stina sang with happy anticipation
And they had some buckets and a lunch bag with coffee grounds
De' e Sunday, in September
Picking lingonberries, things like that happen
Stina picked a couple of liters.
Flies were buzzing and it was hot
Kalle was smoking, no one said anything.
It was half past one
Kalle stood up with some difficulty
O knocked out the bucket of Stina's berries
Then Stina started to cry.
Kalle grinned a little crookedly
De' e Sunday, in September
Picking lingonberries, things like that happen
«Stop grinning, damn drum», Kristina shouted quite loudly
«It's my business, if I laugh», answered Kalle a little dryly
He shrugged as if nothing had happened
O sat down and lit a Kent
Stina wiped her nose, she saw a fox further away
De' e Sunday, in September
Picking lingonberries, things like that happen
