Paroles et traduction Dorthe Kollo - Gid Du Var I Skanderborg

Gid Du Var I Skanderborg

Gid du var i Skanderborg og blev der, kære Peter
Hvorfor rejste du din vej?
Gid du var i Skanderborg og blev der
Det var bedre for dig og for Skanderborg og mig

Du tog til vor hovedstad
For at få lidt fremmed mad
Mødte min veninde der
Synes hun var så kær

I gik ud og spiste godt
Det blev dyrt
Men du var flot
Og hun skrev hver dag til mig
Hvor du dummed' dig

Gid du var i Skanderborg og blev der, kære Peter
Hvorfor rejste du din vej?
Gid du var i Skanderborg og blev der, det var bedre
For dig og for Skanderborg og mig

Jeg fik dagligt brev på brev
Hvori hun forarget skrev
Altid når vi følges hjem
Prøver han sig frem

Du har drømt om kys og klap
Men hun var en tand for skrap
Pas dig selv var hendes svar
Åh din dumme nar

Gid du var i Skanderborg og blev der, kære Peter
Hvorfor rejste du din vej?
Gid du var i Skanderborg og blev der
Det var bedre for dig og for Skanderborg og mig

Gid du var i Skanderborg og blev der
Det var bedre for dig og for Skanderborg og mig

Oh, If You Were in Skanderborg

Oh, if only you were in Skanderborg and stayed there, my dear Peter
Why did you take your leave?
Oh, if only you were in Skanderborg and stayed there
It would be better for you, for Skanderborg, and for me

You went to our capital
To have some exotic food
You met my friend there
You found her so lovely

You went out and had a nice meal
It was expensive
But you were charming
And she wrote to me every day
About how you made a fool of yourself

Oh, if only you were in Skanderborg and stayed there, my dear Peter
Why did you take your leave?
Oh, if only you were in Skanderborg and stayed there, it would be better
For you, for Skanderborg, and for me

I received letter after letter every day
In which she wrote with indignation
Whenever we walk home together
He tries to make advances

You dreamed of kisses and cuddles
But she was too sharp for you
Mind your own business was her reply
Oh, you foolish boy

Oh, if only you were in Skanderborg and stayed there, my dear Peter
Why did you take your leave?
Oh, if only you were in Skanderborg and stayed there
It would be better for you, for Skanderborg, and for me

Oh, if only you were in Skanderborg and stayed there
It would be better for you, for Skanderborg, and for me
