Paroles et traduction Kari Bremnes - Lysestake i Sannergata

Lysestake i Sannergata

Ho går og går og går
Bortover Sannergata
Ho bær en lysestake
Med et nesten nedbrent lys
Går med sekk på ryggen
Og en kjempelysestake
Ense ikkje bila eller hunda eller folk
Ka skal ho med den staken
E det nåkka ho ska sell
Har ho nån å tenne lys førr
Har ho nån å slå i hjel
Ka skal ho med den staken
E det nåkka ho ska sell
Har ho nån å tenne lys førr
Har ho nån å slå i hjel
Ho går i stødig fart
Nesten som i søvne
På ganske korte legga
Neri bunnsolide sko
Verdig som en pave
Med en kjempelysestake
Halve Sannergata står og
Snur sæ etter ho
Ka skal ho med den staken
E det nåkka ho ska sell
Har ho nån å tenne lys førr
Har ho nån å slå i hjel
Ka skal ho med den staken
E det nåkka ho ska sell
Har ho nån å tenne lys førr
Har ho nån å slå i hjel

Candlestick in Sannergata

She walks and walks and walks
Down Sannergata street
She carries a candlestick
With an almost burnt down candle
Walks with a pack on her back
And a giant candlestick
Ignores the cars or dogs or people
What does she need that candlestick for
Is it something she's going to sell
Does she have someone to light candles for
Does she have someone to kill
What does she need that candlestick for
Is it something she's going to sell
Does she have someone to light candles for
Does she have someone to kill
She walks at a steady pace
Almost as if in her sleep
On quite short legs
In very solid shoes
Dignified as a pope
With a giant candlestick
Half of Sannergata stands and
Turns around to look at her
What does she need that candlestick for
Is it something she's going to sell
Does she have someone to light candles for
Does she have someone to kill
What does she need that candlestick for
Is it something she's going to sell
Does she have someone to light candles for
Does she have someone to kill
