Prevođenje - Švedski-Engleski - Alla gossar äro klara som en dag huru skall man...

All the boys are bright as the day.
How can you understand?
When they get married they will become rubbish,
seldom will they want to be home.
Thus they'll go wherever there's a pub.
Living wildly, they will intoxicate themselves,
drink brandy until they look like pigs.
Alas! How poor it is to love someone like that!
It's better being alone.

Yes, now it is hard for the boys to go ahead
because their company is expensive.
Now it is not enough to drink for a dime,
it has to be four.
Who does not drink is deeply disdained.
Brandy disguises both mind and power.
Many say: as long as I can get,
the cost doesn't matter.


Here money is earned near and far,
here and there big salaries are earned.
When the boys are about to get married
they will barely have enough for gifting.
Their fault, of course.
They have been misbehaving and often drunk.
Isn't it true that in gambling and dance
much money is lost?

I can never know what those girls
who so badly want to get married, see.
They are example of people
who lose both courage and beauty.
Their clothes become dirty and few,
the cheeks turn out pale and blue,
the sweater gets small while the man gets perverse.
Yes, alas! how wretched is loving someone like that!
It's better remaining unmarried
