Lyrics
Det sjunger ngra ungar p Karl Johan.
Dom lter starka och fina som bara ungar kan.
Sjlv e jag bakom ls och bom p mitt hotell.
En kvll bak barrikaden en vanlig kvll.
ver mitt huvud svvar en kolsvart gam.
I rummet bredvid mitt sjunger en tokig dam.
Och jag are trtt och tveksam men deras sng are gla'.
Om inga ungar funnes s slutar ja'.
Min dam. Att sprket slinter I vissa fall…
P grund av sn som blter… Fast den are kall…
Stor sak dri. Skidkning har ocks charm.
Gnid in ditt skinn med nsslor, s du blir varm…
Men det ska vara nsslor frn vikens kant.
Och inga sneda nsslor frn ruinens brant.
Bevara oss frn dem som dessa salufare.
Oss. Och dem glada ungarna hare utanfare.
Nare inga ungar lngre finns are allting s***.
Vad are det d fare mening om man stare ut?
Visst har det blivit kaos I tidens lopp,
Men s lnge det finns ungar s finns det hopp.
Lyrics translation
It sings some kids on Karl Johan.
They sound strong and nice as only kids can.
I'm behind ls and boom at my hotel.
A kvll bak barricade a regular kvll.
over my head was a coal-black vulture.
In the room next to mine, a crazy lady sings.
And I'm trtt and hesitant but their sng are gla'.
If no kids were found, yes ' stops.
My lady. That sprket slinter in some cases…
Because of sn that blter Fast though it is cold…
Big deal dri. Skiing also has charm.
Rub your skin with nslor, s you get hot…
But it should be chores from the edge of the fold.
And no slant chores from the brink of ruin.
Preserve us from them like these salufare.
Us. And they delighted the Cubs hare withoutfare.
Nare no kids lngre there are everything s***.
What is the danger meaning if you stare out?
Surely there has been chaos in the course of time,
But if there are kids, there's hope.
