Eit Skot Te - Hellbillies traduction en anglais

Eit Skot Te

I førti år ha eg jakta rein.
Stampa og trøtt over myr og stein
Med ein mauser og gamal rupesekk.

Men pusten æ'kji so god som'n va,
Eg æ glad i jakt, men snart likeglad.
Eg æ nærsynt, og sveitten renn som ein bekk.

Men eitt skot te ska eg greie. Siste jakt.
Ein bukk te ska eg skjøte, so æ're farrvell og takk!

Kæm æ're som kjem ranglan' no?
Dæ ser ut som'n Olav Ro.
Koss æ're mæ're kar? Du får no stige på!
Dæ'æ lengji sea me jakta ilag.
Ha'ru fått deg kort, æ'ru med i eit lag?
Eg hadde tenkt meg te, men kvie for å gå.

For eitt skot te kan ho greie. Siste jakt.
Ein bukk te ska eg skjøte, so æ're farrvell og takk!

Eg ha tenkt å kjøpe ei hytte te fjells,
Sita utta veggen i saueskinnspels
Og kjikre, over bre og fly.
Eg ha'kji eigong skote børsa inn,
Men ho går like godt som Krag'en din,
Dæ'æ god børse! Eg kjøpe alder ny!

For eitt skot te kan ho greie. Siste jakt.
Ein bukk te ska eg skjøte, so æ're farrvell og takk!

For eitt skot te kan ho greie. Siste jakt.
Ein bukk te ska eg skjøte, so æ're farrvell og takk!

A Shot For You

In forty years I hunted reindeer.
Dragging myself over marsh and stone.
With a rifle and a worn canvas bag.

But my lungs aren't what they used to be.
I love to hunt, but soon I'll be through.
I'm getting nearsighted, and sweat pours off me like a stream.

But I'll pull the trigger one more time. My last hunt.
I'll shoot one more buck, and then it's farewell and thanks!

Who's that coming through the undergrowth?
It looks like Olav Ro.
How are you, my man? You must join me!
It's been a long time since we hunted together.
Have you got a pass, are you part of a group?
I had thought of going, but I didn't like the idea of walking.

For she can pull the trigger one more time. My last hunt.
I'll shoot one more buck, and then it's farewell and thanks!

I'm thinking of buying a cabin in the mountains,
I'll sit by the wall in a sheepskin coat
And gaze out over plateaus and plains.
I haven't sighted my rifle in yet,
But it works as well as your Krag,
That's a good rifle! I'll never buy a new one!

For she can pull the trigger one more time. My last hunt.
I'll shoot one more buck, and then it's farewell and thanks!

For she can pull the trigger one more time. My last hunt.
I'll shoot one more buck, and then it's farewell and thanks!
