Lyrics and translation Johnny Madsen - Æseldriveren

Æseldriveren

Der er forår i Moskva
Og sommer i Tyrol
Tågen letter over Thorshavn
Min næse har fået sol
Hippien tumbler på vejen
Og blege John går i shorts
Vagabonden piller i sin budding
Efter den tredje entrecote

Natørnen synger om dagen
"Nonnen" tar kloaken hjem
Plumredyret dropper sin længsel
Og tar de gule akkorder frem
Fluerne flyver hjem til osten
Guldet var kun blik
Og den tamme æseldriver
Er som dirigenten på Titanic

The Donkey Driver

Spring is in Moscow
And summer in Tyrol
The fog is lifting over Thorshavn
My nose has had some sun
The hippie is tumbling down the road
And pale John is wearing shorts
The vagabond is picking at his pudding
After the third entrecote

The nightingale sings during the day
"The nun" takes the sewage home
The clumsy animal drops its longing
And brings out the yellow chords
The flies fly home to the cheese
The gold was only tin
And the tame donkey driver
Is like the conductor on the Titanic
