Translation of the song lyrics Skål - Vamp

Skål (original)

Eg drikke ein skål for kver bror så e slagen
For han så gjekk vill uten kart og kompass
For han så e tiggar og åpenlyst naken
For misslykka liv vil eg heva mitt glass
Min skål e for han så låg utslått i ringen
Der andre blei løfta av jubelens rus
For han di bar ut itte feilskjer i svingen
For fangen i lenkene løfte eg mitt krus
Skål for fuglen så klinke mot rutå
For kver flygar i brått og i brann
Skål for kver seilar som kålseilte skutå
Og for den himlause, skål for Johan uten land
Eg drikke ein skål for kvert dyr i ei fella
For deg som i livet forfeilte ditt mål
Når solå e røe og dagen må hella
Då ser eg i speilet og tømme min skål
Skål for fuglen så klinke mot rutå
For kver flygar i brått og i brann
Skål for kver seilar som kålseilte skutå
Og for den himlause, skål for Johan uten land
Skål for fuglen så klinke mot rutå
For kver flygar i brått og i brann
Skål for kver seilar som kålseilte skutå
Og for den himlause, skål for Johan uten land

Skål (translation)

I drink a toast for each brother who is beaten
Because he got lost without a map and a compass
For he looked begging and openly naked
To the failed life I will raise my glass
My toast is because he lay knocked out in the ring
Where others were lifted by the intoxication of jubilation
Because he didn't make mistakes in the swing
To the prisoner in the chains I raise my mug
Cheers to the bird as it clicks against the window
For each flies in haste and in fire
Cheers to every sailor who sailed the boat
And for the skyless, cheers for Johan without land
I drink a bowl for each animal in a trap
For you who in life missed your goal
When the sun goes down and the day must pour
Then I look in the mirror and empty my bowl
Cheers to the bird as it clicks against the window
For each flies in haste and in fire
Cheers to every sailor who sailed the boat
And for the skyless, cheers for Johan without land
Cheers to the bird as it clicks against the window
For each flies in haste and in fire
Cheers to every sailor who sailed the boat
And for the skyless, cheers for Johan without land
