Текст и перевод песни Bertine Zetlitz - Hoppetau

Hoppetau

Hoppetau hoppetau henger i trærne
For barna vil ha dem der så veldig gjerne
Og du kan'ke si at de minner om noe
For det er i hodet ditt
Det er i hjertet mitt
Hoppetau hoppetau henger i trærne
For jentene hang dem der, jenter er gær'ne
Og du kan'ke si at de minner om død
Du hørte jo selv hvor sørgmodig det lød
Ja sånn har det blitt og sånn vil det være
Hoppetau hoppetau henger på gjerdet

Bind meg fast med sikkert rep
Og fortell meg alt du vet
Pakke alle ting i sort
Resten skyller regnet bort
Du la alt på stranden som du hadde kjær
Det ække' så mye å lure på her
Brettet nøyaktig haugen av klær
Det ække' så mye å lure på her.
Hoppetau hoppetau henger i trærne
For jentene hang dem for høyt til å fjerne
Ja sånn har det blitt
Og sånn vil det være
Hoppetau hoppetau henger på gjerdet

Hoppetau

Skipping rope, skipping rope hangs in the trees
For the children want them there very much
And you can't say that they remind you of something
Because it's in your head
It's in my heart
Skipping rope, skipping rope hangs in the trees
For the girls hung them there, girls are crazy
And you can't say that they remind you of death
You heard yourself how melancholy it sounded
Yes, that's how it has become and that's how it will be
Skipping rope, skipping rope hangs on the fence

Tie me up with a secure rope
And tell me everything you know
Pack all the things in black
The rain will wash away the rest
You left everything you held dear on the beach
There's not much to wonder about here
Folded the pile of clothes exactly
There's not much to wonder about here.
Skipping rope, skipping rope hangs in the trees
For the girls hung them too high to remove
Yes, that's how it has become
And that's how it will be
Skipping rope, skipping rope hangs on the fence
