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 // WV 61 // Svealand 60th Anniversary LL Event // Check Post #752 For Details //

[MENTION=4597]Stargazer[/MENTION] I can make it the next Friday (March 18th that would be), I'd be absolutely ok with it. The further we go, less time I will have, so as soon as possible suits me the best. Also, 21:00 or even earlier would be the best for me.

Ok, since Daniel now said he can make it to next Friday the 18th, is there anyone who can't make it? Please say you can. xpray I'm getting tired of having to mention (and bother) everyone all the time. :lol:

The 61st entry:

"Där Gullvivan Blommar" - Grymlings


I still need to know from what hour you all will be available for the LL event. I really don't want to have to mention everyone again.

I would prefer a late start, which means around 20 CET. Cause then I am done with my dinner and can focus only on your event without being distracted by anything. Every time later is fine as well. If it's necessary I can stay up until the sunrise.

OK, so I'm hoping we can start at 20:30 CET or so. I put it to 'ish' though, just in case something comes up and there will be a short delay. Hope to see some, or all, of you there! :D Anyone who wasn't mentioned, but would still like to come for the event, is obviously more than welcome.

Oh I see. :( Well, it is a long event so I didn't want to start too late with it. But hopefully you won't miss too much.

I am very sorry I had no chance to be there - I got a sudden visit from my faculty friends in hometown and it ended like a neverending board-game night. Hope you all had fun, what was not hard to accomplish with all amazing :svea: entries. :)

I'm terribly sorry, dear Anna, but it was impossible to be here last night. The last couple of days were simply "horrible" to what work in school concerns, I organised a last extra class school activity and I've spent the whole evening working in order to allow the responsible for the different classes to have all my information ready today (compulsory) and have my work for next week's meetings ready. I did not predict how hectic the end of the week could become, but so it was. Thank you for inviting me, it was obviously an honour, and so sorry for my absence and silence. I would have loved to be there, I'm sure you know that.
