Lyrics

Gud skulle ud at fiske da han kom derop
Vi fandt ham nede ved åen hvor han krogede en ål
Gud sagde: «Jeg tror der er bid i dag, her hvor brinken bliver stejl
Men som I ved, enhver kan jo ta' fejl»
Lykken kommer lykken går
Det er klart vi hæfter
Tiden læger ingen sår
Er der mon bal bagefter?
«Er vi dit ypperste eller noget du har fortrudt?»
«I er mig en gåde» sagde Gud «en gåde jeg må gætte uafbrudt
Men ræk mig lige kassen med fluer, forfang og flåd
Alt er som I tror, ja giv mig bare det tungeste lod»
Lykken kommer lykken går
Det er klart vi hæfter
Tiden læger ingen sår
Er der mon bal bagefter?
Hvor vi mødes kind mod kind
Drikker øl og kæfter
Op om vejr og op mod vind
Er der mon bal bagefter?
«Men i aften skal I møde de andre døde, evigheden skal jo gå
Der er dans til en trio og ta' nu og ta' noget farvestrålende på
Den nye bassist vi forleden fik, han hedder Rick, han gir mig et kick
Hey hey, kan I mærke nu rykker det, eller var det bare bundbid jeg fik»
Lykken kommer lykken går…

Lyrics translation

God was going fishing when he got up there
We found him down by the creek where he hooked a ål
God said: "I think there is bite today, here where the brine gets steep
But as you know, anyone can be wrong»
Happiness comes happiness goes
Of course we're liable
Time heals no wounds
I wonder if there's a ball after that.
"Are we Your chief or something you have regretted?»
"You are a riddle to me," God said, " a riddle I must guess continuously
But hand me the box with flies, sledges and floats
Everything is as you think, yes just give me the heaviest lot»
Happiness comes happiness goes
Of course we're liable
Time heals no wounds
I wonder if there's a ball after that.
Where we meet Cheek To Cheek
Drinking beer and jaws
Up the weather and up against the wind
I wonder if there's a ball after that.
"But tonight you shall meet the other dead, and eternity shall pass
There's dance for a trio and go now and wear something colorful
The new bassist we got the other day, His Name Is Rick, he's giving me a kick
Hey hey, can you feel it moving now, or was it just the bottom bite I got»
Happiness comes happiness goes…
