Lyrics and translation Säkert! - Grottorna

Grottorna

Om hösten var grottorna kalla och hala
Det var som att glida in bara
De var ändå ganska smala
Bara barn och hundar kom in
Tur att vi var barn och hundar
När jag var hennes vän, hon var min

Hon var alltid snabbare än vad jag var
Hon var alltid ett grottrum före
Jag sa: "Vet inte alls hur hon gör det"
Vi sjöng när vi kommit in
Trodde väggarna sku rasa in

Och vi sprang hem genom skogen när det blev mörkt
Hunden skällde och sprang oss om benen
Mamma surna ur, är du sen igen?
Har du fläckar på byxorna?

De andra hade börjat kolla på killar
Hade särskilda jackor och stilar
Vi höll oss en bit ifrån dem
De var så töntiga, sa vi
Har de inget liv, sa vi
Påsar klirra när de gick förbi

"Ska vi köpa tio Raider?" sa jag
"Se hur fort vi kan äta dem", sa jag
Sno Nintendot från din brorsa
Sen vill hon prata om hästar
Mest vill hon vara i grottorna

"Ska vi till grottorna idag?", sa jag
"Nä, kan inte nu", sa hon vagt
Det var en helt vanlig måndag
Skulle bli en väldigt lång dag
"Jag ska hänga hos Macke", sa hon
"Det är fest hos nån sen", sa hon
Man får inte ta med andra

Kolla ner på mina dobberjeans
Såg fläckarna där
Plötsligt var de ett problem
Väggarna rasade in

Caves

In the autumn the caves were cold and slippery
It was like gliding right in
They were quite narrow though
Only children and dogs could get in
Lucky for us we were children and dogs
When I was her friend, she was mine

She was always faster than I was
She was always one cave room ahead
I said: "I don't know how she does it"
We sang when we got in
Thought the walls would cave in

And we ran home through the forest when it got dark
The dog barked and ran between our legs
Mom got mad, are you late again?
Do you have stains on your pants?

The others had started to check out guys
Had special jackets and styles
We kept our distance from them
They were so corny, we said
Don't they have a life, we said
Bags clattered when they walked by

"Should we buy ten Raid?" I said
"See how fast we can eat them," I said
Swiper the Nintendo from your brother
Then she wants to talk about horses
Mostly she wants to be in the caves

"Shall we go to the caves today?" I said
"No, I can't now," she said vaguely
It was a perfectly ordinary Monday
Was going to be a very long day
"I'm going to hang out at Macke's," she said
"There's a party at someone's later," she said
You can't bring others

Look down at my Dobber jeans
Saw the stains there
Suddenly they were a problem
The walls caved in
