Текст и перевод песни Morten Abel - Nancy Og Du

Nancy Og Du

Ah du kjøre rondt på farlige veier.
Det e glatt men du bremse kje ned
Du klare liksom aldri komme fram tidsnok men du seie du komme aldri for seint.
Og tiden e liksom ikje venn med deg, og heller ikje dagane som går.
Og det at Nancy har gifta seg, det e liksom någe du heilt ikje kan forstår.
At hu har svikta deg nå.
Dåkk va jo nesten forlova.
Så kor ska bryllupet stå.
Du e kje eingang invitert.
Ikje eingangt å se på.
E det någe du kje vett.
E dette någe du går med på.

At du e ein enkel og arbeidsom mann i fra landet, og sånne vokse kje på trer.
Og Nancy har tydelig møtt någen andre, någen som ikje e fra her.

Men hu vett ikje sitt eget beste, du hadde jo framtiå klar.
Men det e kje godtnok men nesten, for nesten skyte ingenmann av hesten.
Alt va jo klappet og klart.

Du va jo någe t kar.
Nå må du gi fra deg alt.
Så e vell at du e sjalu.
Når du føle du har blirt lurt.
Det va jo Nancy og du.
Så sku bli husban og fru.

Men Nancy vente på presten ein reintung dag uti Mai.
For det e kje godtnok men nesten for nesten skyte ingenmann av hesten.

Du e en mann med forstand.
Du konne gitt henne et godt liv.
Med hu og mange barn.
Men dette går jo ikje ann.

Men nå e våren her.
Me synge og me ler.
Kom Mai du skjønne milde med sol og deili vêr.
Men bare vent å se. Ja bare vent å se.
Det e lett å si A, men du må også di B.
Og et de ikje vett, ja det de ikje vett.
E at årene ittepå e ikje bare lett.
Og hverdagen e, nådeløse.
Men for aldel me får se lykketeee!!

Lalalalala lalalalala

Nancy And You

Ah you drive around on dangerous roads.
It's slippery, but you don't slow down
You never seem to make it on time, but you say you're never too late.
And time is not really a friend to you, and neither are the days that pass.
And that Nancy got married, it's something you can't understand at all.
That she betrayed you.
You were almost engaged.
So where will the wedding be?
You weren't even invited.
Not even to watch.
Is there something you don't know?
Is this something you'll accept?

That you are a simple, hardworking man from the country, and such people don't grow on trees.
And Nancy has apparently met someone else, someone who's not from here.

But she doesn't know what's good for her, you had her future all figured out.
But it's not good enough, just almost, because almost doesn't cut it for anyone.
Everything was settled and ready.

You were something of a guy.
Now you have to give it all up.
So maybe you're jealous,
When you feel like you've been tricked.
It was Nancy and you.
You were going to be husband and wife.

But Nancy waits for the priest a whole day in May.
Because it's not good enough, just almost, because almost doesn't cut it for anyone.

You're a man with a mind.
You could have given her a good life.
With her and many children.
But you can't do this.

But now spring is here,
We're singing and we're laughing.
Come, May, you beautiful, gentle month, with sunshine and lovely weather.
But just you wait and see. Just you wait and see.
It's easy to say A, but you must also say B.
And what they don't know, they don't know.
That the after years are not always easy.
And everyday life is cruel.
But we'll let happiness find us, for sure.
