Текст и перевод песни Tønes - Sån av Salve

Sån av Salve

Eg syns det va sån av Salve eg såg
Spurte mor mi, hu kom bort i vindue
Han he kje vore heima sia systra gifta seg
Eg he kje sitt han sia me gjekk på skule
Han e aldri heime
Han e aldri heime seie far min
Jovisst e det ikkje sån av Salve der borte med garasjen

Såg ut så han og faren dreiv på å rydda
Det må vær noge de har begynt med nå i det sista
For me he aldri hørt noge annet enn at den slekto e full av rodehova
Han e tri år yngre enn meg
De sei han sidde godt i det
Eg bryr meg ikkje altså, men eg begripe det ikkje

Sån av Salve e heima
Sån av Salve e heima
Sån av Salve e heima
Det e ikkje te å tru

Me kjennd han nesten ikkje atte
Men eg ser det nå
Det e det der samma surrehove
Han va en jekel på skulen det va det han va
Garp og slossing ensa ikkje ka leraren sa
Når nogen trengde ei hånd han hjalp ikkje te
Han va feige og ynkelige når det kom te stykke

Han he jo ikkje veld noen verdens ting sjøl
Bare inne å trødde hakk i hel
Nei eg førstenne meg ikkje på det livet han he velgt å leva så ærlige må eg vær
Nå he han en skokk med onga og ei bittelido kona
Å sakki eg e glad eg ikkje e i sån av Salva sine skoa

Sån av Salve e heima
Sån av Salve e heima
Sån av Salve e heima
Det e ikkje te å tru

Han hadde parkert på tvers halveis inn på åkke
Så der va ikkje for andre te å koma te
Far min sku bort å snakka te han
Så me og mor mi gikk me
Sku ha hørt når han snakte
Dialekten va ødelagte
Han virka så seriøse
Måtte bare stå å jatta med

Du veit en kan begynna å lura ko så skjer
Ingen hadde hørt noen verdens ting
Plutselig bare sto han der
Typisk han og koma nå
Stilla seg opp sånn at alle ska sjå
At sån av Salve e heima
Han e vel redde
Han e vel redde arvo ska ryga

Sån av Salve e heima
Sån av Salve e heima
Sån av Salve e heima
Det e ikkje te å tru

Son of Salve

I thought I saw Salve's son
Asked my mother, she came by the window
He hasn't been home since his sister got married
I haven't seen him since we went to school
He's never home
He's never home, my father says
Surely that's not Salve's son over there by the garage

Looked like he and his father were cleaning up
It must be something they've started doing recently
Because we've never heard anything other than that that family is full of hotheads
He's three years younger than me
They say he's well off
I don't care, but I don't understand it

Salve's son is home
Salve's son is home
Salve's son is home
It's unbelievable

We hardly recognize him anymore
But I see it now
It's the same old sorehead
He was a jerk in school, that's what he was
Rough and tough, didn't care what the teacher said
When someone needed a hand, he wouldn't help
He was cowardly and pitiful when it came down to it

He didn't choose any of this, of course
Just stuck inside, grinding his heels
No, I don't understand the life he's chosen to live, I have to be honest
Now he has a bunch of kids and a tiny wife
Thank goodness I'm not in Salve's son's shoes

Salve's son is home
Salve's son is home
Salve's son is home
It's unbelievable

He had parked sideways halfway into the yard
So no one else could get there
My father was going to go and talk to him
So my mother and I went with him
Should have heard him talk
His dialect was mangled
He sounded so serious
We could only stand there and agree

You know how you start to wonder what's going on
No one had heard a thing
Suddenly there he was
Typical of him to show up now
Standing there for everyone to see
That Salve's son is home
He must be scared
He must be scared his reputation is going to suffer

Salve's son is home
Salve's son is home
Salve's son is home
It's unbelievable
