Lyrics
Byt nu ton: det gjorde hon.
Drick ditt vin om du försmäktar.
Ljug du friskt om din passion,
hennes lögner dig ursäktar.
Kärlek? Bah! Nu är du fri.
Lever hon? Ge fan däri!
När din eld som hetast brann
trodde du väl hon bedrog dig?
Men ni älskade varann?
Denna tanke ofta slog dig?
Nå! Du hade fel kamrat!
Sanning dör för kvinnors hat.
Du var trög var gång hon ljög,
undras vem hon nu beljuger?
Var ej trög! Ditt hjärta flög!
Ljug nu du! Försöka duger
med var dam du stöter på.
Lögner går dom alltid på.
Kälrek hej! Jag älskar dig!
Men håll fingrarna i styr va?
Kan du tro jag svarar nej
till ett kärleksäventyr va?
Hon var fin — jo, hon var fin
men knappt värd ett hånfullt glin.
Dö. Men innan du går bort
skall du se, om stöd hon ber dig.
Svara henne dåhelt kort:
«Du har bytt — och du böt ner dig.
Byt nu till vem fan du vill
utom mig. Och lycka till!»
Lyrics translation
Now change the tone: she did.
Drink your wine if you languish.
Lie fresh about your passion,
her lies excuse you.
Love? Bah! Now you're free.
Is she alive? Get the fuck out of there!
When your fire burned at its hottest
you thought she cheated on you, right?
But you loved each other?
This thought often struck you?
Well! You had the wrong comrade!
Truth dies for women's hatred.
You were sluggish every time she lied,
wonder who she is lying to?
Don't be sluggish! Your heart flew!
Lie to me! Trying will do
with every lady you come across.
Lies they always go on.
Kälrek Hello! I love you!
But keep your fingers in hand, huh?
Can you believe I answer no
to a love adventure, huh?
She was nice-well, she was nice
but barely worth a mocking glin.
Die. But before you go away
shall you see, if support she asks you.
Then answer her briefly:
"You have changed-and you fined yourself.
Now switch to whoever the fuck you want
except me. And good luck!»
