Текст песни и перевод на английский Tønes - Fluene

Fluene

Hold atte dørene
Skynd deg inn dar e så med flue
Steng atte, steng atte
Alle lemma og luke

Me bruke bislaget te slusa
Det e her me seie "hei" og "ha-det"
Og nei, me lukka ikkje opp viduet
Sjøl om det blir borti tredve grade

De gjenge rett i maden du må, dekkan te
Ja, de gjenge rett i maden du må, dekkan te
Og ha smikko innforbi ... rekkevidde

Når det er på det versta
Pleie me å låsa den døro
Og heller bruka inngangen på andra sio av huset
Der e mye mindre flue

Og stende me i vindue når folk kjeme å peke og rope
"De må gå rundt, de må gå rundt"

Kem he brukt fluesmikko, eg finne hu ikkje?
Kem he brukt fluesmikko, eg finne hu ikkje?
Hu ska leggas på plass itte bruk, det e elementært
Her i huset legge me smikko på plass itte bruk, det e elementært

Osj, der e det ei
Stå heilt stille, stå heilt stille så ska eg ta hu
Eg trur eg fekk...
Nei, der flaug hu
Skynd deg inn her, skynd deg inn her nå
Nei, nei, nei, nei, eg kan′kje sjå atte
Du får bare holda auene oppe og sjå om me ser hu,
Holda auene oppe alle sjå om me ser hu

Ein gong såg eg noge svart
Inni en lyskuppel
Og då eg sko sjekka då var det ei flua
Kan du fatta og begripa

Kuppelen var 'kje skada eller nåe
Ingen håle eller sprikke, an va sponnstette
Målte med skyvelær om flue kunne komt seg inn
Det var′kje sjangs i havet, kan du fatta og begripa

Kem he lagt fluesmikko på skjærebrettet?
Kem he lagt fluesmikko på skjærebrettet?
Det må feila noge, elementært

Flies

Close all the doors
Hurry up, darling, it's so full of flies
Close it, close it
All the doors and windows

We use the shed as an airlock
It's where we say "hello" and "goodbye"
And no, we don't open the windows
Even if it gets up to thirty degrees

They'll get into your food, you must cover it
Yes, they'll get into your food, you must cover it
And keep the sweet things out of ... reach

When it's at its worst
We usually lock that door
And use the entrance on the other side of the house
Where there are far fewer flies

And we stand at the window when people come and point and shout
"You have to go around, you have to go around"

Who used the fly swatter, I can't find it?
Who used the fly swatter, I can't find it?
It should be put back in its place after use, it's elementary
In this house we put the swatter back in its place after use, it's elementary

Oh, there's one
Stay very still, stay very still and I'll get it
I think I got...
No, there it goes
Hurry up in here, hurry up in here now
No, no, no, no, I can't see it
You just have to keep your eyes open and see if we can spot it,
Keep your eyes open everyone and see if we can spot it

Once I saw something black
Inside a skylight
And when I went to check it out it was a fly
Can you imagine that?

The dome wasn't damaged or anything
No holes or cracks, it was spotless
I measured it with calipers to see if a fly could have got in
There was no way in hell, can you imagine that?

Who put the fly swatter on the chopping board?
Who put the fly swatter on the chopping board?
Something must be wrong, elementary
