Paroles et traduction Hellbillies - Fordi Eg Glei

Fordi Eg Glei

Eg prøve å spela på livskunstnarfela, men ho har ein dårleg streng.
Livet treng vedlikehald, so mangt som heng og sleng.

Skull hatt ein spiker. Spikra det fast.
Alt laust som æ raklent, og ligg meg te last.
Hamar i hånde og true va god.
Men då eg prøvde, trur du eg råkte? Å nei.
Det va fordi eg glei.

Det er mangt i livsens hus som har rotna og dett ned.
Det skull eg ordna på, om eg berre fekk te.

Skull hatt ein spiker. Spikra det fast.
Alt laust som æ raklent, og ligg meg te last.
Hamar i hånde og true va god.
Men då eg prøvde, trur du eg råkte? Å nei.
Det va fordi eg glei.

Å væra tøff og hard og maskulin.
Å få respekt ved å halde disiplin.
Å tru på skrifta, og drikke altervin.
Det vart nok alder styrken min.

Send hit ein snikkersvein før allting dett i grus.
Livet har eg snart brukt upp i eit krasafarent hus.

Skull hatt ein spiker. Spikra det fast.
Alt laust som æ raklent, og ligg meg te last.
Hamar i hånde og true va god.
Men då eg prøvde, trur du eg råkte? Å nei.
Det va fordi eg glei. x4

Because I Slipped

I tried to play on my life-art fiddle, but it has a bad string.
Life needs maintenance, so many things hang and dangle.

I should have a nail. Nail it down.
Everything that is loose is messy, and it's a burden to me.
Hammer in hand and faith was good.
But when I tried, do you think I hit it? Oh no.
It was because I slipped.

There is much in the house of life that has rotted and fallen down.
I should fix that, if I could just get around to it.

I should have a nail. Nail it down.
Everything that is loose is messy, and it's a burden to me.
Hammer in hand and faith was good.
But when I tried, do you think I hit it? Oh no.
It was because I slipped.

To be tough and hard and masculine.
To gain respect by maintaining discipline.
To believe in scripture, and drink sacramental wine.
That probably never was my strength.

Send a carpenter here before everything falls to pieces.
I have almost used up my life in a dilapidated house.

I should have a nail. Nail it down.
Everything that is loose is messy, and it's a burden to me.
Hammer in hand and faith was good.
But when I tried, do you think I hit it? Oh no.
It was because I slipped. x4
