Maleri

Her ein dag eg sko henga opp et maleri så va'kje hammaren te å finna.
Og den bittelitla stifto så bilde sko henga i, det va nåe simple greie,
Nåe simple greie. Så då eg hadde leida høgt å lågt men hammaren ikkje
Va te å sjå, så brukte eg ein stein, eg sto midt i sofaen å slo.
Og plutselig, så låg eg nere.

Du veid kå lett det e å bomma, skli og detta å slå hago i ei helsikens potta.
Ja, det va au ein plass å ha blomma, det va au ein plass å ha blomma, ja,
Det va au ein plass å ha, ja det va au ein plass å ha blomma.

Eg beid tennane i hoba og reiste meg for å prøva igjen, det e meste løye
Alt det med gjør for kjærligheden. Eg kom meg heilt opp i sofaen,
Eg kom meg heilt opp i sofaen, før eg oppdagde det digra håle i tapeten.

Ja, du veid kå lett det e å bomma, skli og detta å slå hago i ei helsikens potta.
Å eg hadde leida høgt og lågt, men hammaren va ikkje te å finna,
Så eg va nødde for å bruga ein stein, det sa eg te meg sjøl mens eg
Sette kurs imode kjykkene for å søga trøst i ei øl.

Men itte någen tima så fekk eg endelig ein lys ide, eg bare flytta bilde opp
Egranna sånn at det dekkte øve hålet. Dar e ikkje ein sjel så merka det,
Nei akkorat då syns eg det blei gode greie, gode greie.

Så eg sa fornøyd te meg sjøl at du nå henge det der, høgt, høgt øve sofaen,
Så høgt at ingen onga kan riva det ner. Og det e et fin maleri så den utvalgta
Heilt sikkart vil bli skrekkelig glae i. Og når hu kjeme heim, så e det det fysta hu ser.
For nå henge det der på ein sekstoms spigar og det dette aldri ner,
Ja nå henge det der på ein sekstoms spigar og det dette aldri ner.
Sekstoms, sekstoms, sekstoms spigar.

Painting

One day when I was going to hang a painting, I couldn't find the hammer.
And the tiny tack the picture was going to hang on, it was something simple,
Something simple. So when I had searched high and low but couldn't find the hammer,
I used a stone, I stood in the middle of the sofa and hit it.
And suddenly, I was lying on the floor.

You know how easy it is to miss, slip and fall and bang your chin on a damn pot.
Yes, it was also a place to put the flower, it was also a place to put the flower, yes,
It was also a place to have, yes it was also a place to put the flower.

I gritted my teeth and got up to try again, it's mostly fun
All you do for love. I got all the way up on the sofa,
I got all the way up on the sofa, before I discovered the big hole in the wallpaper.

Yes, you know how easy it is to miss, slip and fall and bang your chin on a damn pot.
And I had searched high and low, but the hammer was nowhere to be found,
So I had to use a stone, I said to myself as I
Headed for the kitchen to seek solace in a beer.

But after a few hours I finally had a bright idea, I just moved the picture up
A bit so that it covered the hole. There isn't a soul who noticed it,
No right then I thought it turned out fine, fine.

So I said to myself, satisfied, that you now hang it there, high, high above the sofa,
So high that no child can reach it. And it's a nice painting that the chosen one
Will surely adore. And when she comes home, it's the first thing she'll see.
Because now it hangs there on a six-inch nail and it'll never fall,
Yes now it hangs there on a six-inch nail and it'll never fall.
Six-inch, six-inch, six-inch nail.
