Текст песни и перевод на английский Tønes - Gode og Vonde Dage

Gode og Vonde Dage

Konrad kom snigane inn i lokale
Ein halv time itte alt hadde begynt
Såg trøtt ud
Virka så han hadde logge i dvale
Ittekvert sovnan
Og gav i frå seg små grynt

Någen forstod ingenting
Av det som føregikk på scenen
Andre ville helst sodde heima
Og sitt på fjernsyn
Renate konne heldigvis
Skylda på migrene
Trygve bare fjaste
Og viste ikkje hensyn
Og någen
Hadde drege me seg unga
Så va trøtte
Og egentlig alt for små
For sånne arrangementer

Ein av de va mesten just fudde
Låg å skreig i ei vogn
Og slo itte ei rangla

Her er de alle i hoba
Slekt og venna te dei så arrangera
Så fær julane te å rulla og rulla
Og samfunnet te og henga i hoba

De fleste ante ikkje kå de gjekk te
Bernt kom for han viste det var kage
Du hørte geisping av folk
Så hosta diskre
Programmet tog ikkje slutt
Det bare varte og varte

Amalie var så ho pleie og vær
Når hu kjeme i sige
Ødela kvelden for meg
Og mange andre
Skikkelig irriterende øveivrige

Sprang rundt i bokse
Så va alt for trange
Og Greta
Såg fram te og få det overstått
Hu va så varm
At det va rett før hu kobna
Nåen så stod igjen
Te alle hadde gått
Klart te soba øve golv
Stabla bord og stola

Her er de alle i hoba
Slekt og venna te dei så arrangera
Så fær julane te å rulla og rulla
Og samfunnet te og henga i hoba

Takk Gud, og kem du vil for meg
Men ikkje gløym
Slekt og venna te dei så arrangera
Så aldri syde og klage
Gjør det besta ud av det de he
I gode og vonde, dage
Gode og vonde, dage

Good and Bad Days

Konrad snuck into the hall
Half an hour after everything had started
He looked tired
Seeming like he had come out of hibernation
And then he fell asleep
And emitted small grunts

Some didn't understand a thing
Of what was happening on the stage
Others would rather have stayed home
And watched TV
Fortunately Renate was able to
Blame it on a migraine
Trygve just farted
And showed no regard for others
And some
Had brought their kids along
Who were tired
And actually much too young
For such events

One of them had just been born
Lay there crying in a stroller
And didn't even rattle a rattle

Here they are all together
Relatives and friends of the organizers
So the Christmases roll on and on
And society gets to hang out

Most had no idea what was going on
Bernt came because he knew there would be cake
You could hear people gasp
Then cough discreetly
The program didn't end
It just went on and on

Amalie was as she always is
When she gets going
She ruined the evening for me
And many others
Really irritatingly over-eager

Running around in pants
That were much too tight
And Greta
Couldn't wait for it to be over
She was so hot
That she was about to faint
Some stayed behind
Until everyone had gone
Ready to sweep the floor
And stack the tables and chairs

Here they are all together
Relatives and friends of the organizers
So the Christmases roll on and on
And society gets to hang out

Thank God, and whoever you want for me
But don't forget
Relatives and friends of the organizers
So never grumble and complain
Make the best of what you have
In good and bad, days
Good and bad, days
