Paroles et traduction Hellbillies - Bondeblå

Bondeblå

Troppen stod der klukka åtte.
Ingen vilde, alle måtte.
Skull på utmarsj, det bles kaldt ifrå nord.
Stod og froso alle samle,
Og uniforme va 'renn gamle,
Men alle fremst stod'n Tolleiv, han va frå Gol.

I bondeblå strikkagenser med bård,
Og ei luve i sama stil
Som mor hass laga te
Alle are sa det va grønt 'n skull ha,
Men ho syns 'n va so rå
Med bondeblå.

Han stakkars Tolleiv han vart plaga,
Pint og erta mest alle daga.
Du Tolleiv Bolldeig må vaske tråppe i dag!
Trur du'n nekta? Det gjorde'n alder,
For då viste'n det vart rabalder.
Difor so stod'n der og jobba for sjette lag

Men likevæl so greidde'n seg brukbart
For i skalla va'n ganske god.
På eit kontor i staben på Terningmoen
Der sit 'n Tolleiv no.

Blue-Collar Uniform

The troop was there at eight o'clock.
No volunteers, everyone had to attend.
Setting off on a march, a cold wind blew from the north.
We all stood shivering,
And our uniforms were old and threadbare,
But Tolleiv stood out in front, he was from Gol.

In a blue-collar, knitted sweater with a stripe,
And a cap in the same style
That his mother made for him
Everyone else said he should wear green,
But she thought he looked so handsome
In blue-collar.

Poor Tolleiv, he was teased,
Tormented and mocked almost every day.
You Tolleiv Bolldeig, you have to mop the stairs today!
Do you think he refused? No, he never did,
Because then he knew there would be trouble.
That's why he stood there and worked for the sixth time.

But even so, he managed quite well,
Because he was quite intelligent.
In an office in the staff at Terningmoen
There sits Tolleiv now.
