WV 188 ENTRY
Tommy Johansson - Fattig Bonddräng

FATTIG BONDDRÄNG
Jag är fattig bonddräng men jag lever ändå
Dagar går och kommer medan jag knogar på
Harvar, sår och plöjer, mockar, gräver och bär
Går bak mina oxar, hojtar, visslar och svär

Jag är fattig bonddräng och jag tuggar mitt snus
Och när lörda'n kommer vill jag ta mig ett rus
Sen när jag blitt livad vill jag tampas och slåss
Vila hos en flicka vill jag också förstås

Sen så kommer sönda'n och då vill våran präst
Att jag ska i kyrkan men då sover jag mest
Prästen kan väl sova hela måndagen, men
För en fattig bonddräng börjar knoget igen

Så går hela veckan, alla dagar och år
Jag går med min lie och jag plöjer och sår
Jag kör mina oxar och jag hässjar mitt hö
Harvar, gnor och trälar och till sist ska jag dö

Står där fattig bonddräng invid Himmelens port
Lite rädd och ledsen för de synder jag gjort
Man ska inte supa, hålls med flickor och slåss
Herren Gud i Himlen är väl missnöjd förstås

Men då säger Herren: fattig bonddräng, kom hit!
Jag har sett din strävan och ditt eviga slit
Därför fattig bonddräng är du välkommen här
Därför fattig bonddräng, skall du vara mig när

Och jag fattig bonddräng står så still inför Gud
Och sen klär han på mej den mest snövita skrud
Nu du, fattig bonddräng, är ditt arbete slut
Nu du, fattig bonddräng, nu får du vila ut
POOR FARMHAND
I am a poor farmhand, but I'm alive anyway
Days come and go, while I grind away
Harrow, sow and plow, muck, dig and carry
Walk behind my oxen, holler, whistle and swear

I am a poor farmhand and I chew my tobacco
And when Saturday comes I want to get a drink
Then when I get spirited, I want to tussle and fight
Lie with a girl is what I want to do as well, of course

Then Sunday comes and our priest wants me in church
But that is when I sleep the most
The priest can sleep all of Monday, but
For a poor farmhand the grinding starts again

So goes the whole week, every day and year
I walk with my scythe and I plow and sow
I guide my oxen and I pile my hay
Harrow, toil and slave and one day I shall die

Standing there, poor farmhand, before Heaven's gate
A little scared and sorry for the sins I committed
One shall not drink, lie with girls and fight
The Lord, God in Heaven is disappointed, of course

But then the Lord says: poor farmhand, come here!
I've seen your struggle and your neverending toil
Therefore, poor farmhand, you are welcome here
Therefore, poor farmhand, you will be near me

Oh, I, poor farmhand, stand so still before God
And then he dresses me in the whitest of garments
Now, poor farmhand, your work is done
Now, poor farmhand, now is your time to rest

Re: Svealand | // WORLDVISION 26 // JOACIM CANS // SVART //

The hints were references to HammerFall (Joacim is their lead singer), and in the case of the first picture also a hint about the song, since "svart" means black.

The WV 26 entry:

"Svart" - Joacim Svart

xcheer

The funny entry you guys voted about in the poll is set for the next edition! :D

Re: Svealand | // WORLDVISION 27 // BJÖRN LINNMAN // HERBSTLIED //

So here is the epic :svea: entry for WV 27! :D xbow

"Herbstlied" - Björn Linnman

It's not a troll entry. This is a version of a classical piece that I've loved ever since I was 6 years old when this aired on the children's show Björnes Magasin. We recorded that particular episode on video cassette, which we watched over and over until the cassette was no longer playable. That is how much I loved this entry. :D :lol:

If anyone is curious what the actual classical piece sounds like, here it is:
F. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy - Herbstlied - YouTube

Apply now to be a part of the Secret NF for WV 28.
The choice will be between two songs. Both by the same artist. The genre is acoustic/folk.

Only serious applicants, please. Only apply if you intend to vote.
No fishing for votes for your own NF. I do not have the time to vote in yours.

woooog xheya Aigars didn't vote?! :'D

I didn't want to influence the outcome. I thought it would be more fair without my vote.
I love both songs so either way it would be fantastic.
But I'm really happy with the result and chosen entry. xlove xbow

Re: Svealand | // WORLDVISION 28 // MÅNEGARM // HEMKOMST // NF Results

This song is lovely. :( Sorry for only giving it 4 points, it does not express how much I like it and this semi was insanely strong. I would have loved to see the other one. :oops: xheart No matter what, :svea: deserved much better lately, IMO. :?
Good luck next time, Anna! xcheer
