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 63 // ?? // ?? // Hints Inside

An evil French lion with ultra thin eyebrows (now living in Svealand obviously) who happens to be an unbearably smug and unlikable lion, his song a gorgeously haunting chanson with an obnoxious dance routine. Will be a hit with all the young girls playing WV who will spam vote in their thousands and also a hit with lavieenrose.

I regret to inform you that I have yet to set foot in Svealand in my life and am thus ineligible.

The clue must be a red herring then. I honestly thought it was you singing for Svealand next edition with your thin eyebrows and chanson with the hot dance routine. Such a shame.

Re: Svealand // WV 63 // Rikard Wolff // Röda Luftballong //

The 63rd :svea: entry:

"Röda Luftballong" - Rikard Wolff

Hints explained:
Rikard Wolff did the Swedish voice of Scar in Disney's The Lion King. He's performed many Édith Piaf songs in the past and she's probably his biggest idol and inspiration. Danny Saucedo actually wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics to Röda Luftballong! :)
