De Gyldne Løver Kræn Pæsens Begravelse translation
Kræn Piesen boed' i Børglum sogn, en lystig gammel Vendelbo,
Chris Piesen lived in Børglum parish, a jolly old man from Vendelbo,
folk sa' om ham, at han var dov'n, selv sa' han, han blot tog den med ro.
people said of him that he was lazy, he would say, he just took it easy
Nu er Kræn no'et af en tørstig sjæl, og for at få søvnen ud af sin krop
Now Chris is something of a thirsty soul, and to properly rid his body of sleep
så tog han sig hver mor'n en pægl af sin bedste bjæsk, når han stod op.
every morning he'd grab half a pint of his best booze, when he got up
Hej! Komfal-de-ra, grib om madammen, ud på gulvet -en - to - tre!
Hey! Come "Faldera", and grab your lady, out on the floor and one - two - three!
Vi åd og vi drak, og vi slåssed' samm'n, jo, Kræn's begrav'ls' var der noget ve'.
We ate and we drank, and we fought eachother, yes, Chris' funeral was worth the while.
En mor'n ha'd Kræn vær't skidefuld, og hans hoved gjorde frygt'lig ondt,
One morning Chris had been piss drunk, and his head was aching something bad,
så, da han stod op, faldt han omkuld og drejed' halsen en omgang rundt.
so, when he got up, he fell back down and turned his neck the whole way round.
Og doktor'n kom og så til Kræn, men Kræn han var gået hjem til Gud,
And the doctor came and looked in on Chris, but Chris, he had gone home to God,
så hans kone gjord' ham ren og pæn, og sendte til famil'jen bud.
so his wife then cleaned him up real good, and sent notice out to the family.
Hej! Komfal-de-ra, grib om madammen, ud på gulvet -en - to - tre!
Hey! Come "Faldera", and grab your lady, out on the floor and one - two - three!
Hans venner mødte alle op, og enken bød på saltet flæsk
His friends all came to the funeral, and the widow served them salted meat
og gule ærter og en kop - eller - fler' - af Kræn's den bedste bjesk.
and yellow peas and a cup - or more - of Chris's the best of booze.
Og så sa' Maren, naboens viv; "hvor er 'et synd for stakkels Kræn,
And then said Mandy, the neighbour's wife, "Oh, my what a pity for poor old Chris,
at han sku' gå hen og mist' sit liv"."Åh hold nu kæft," sa' Marens mand.
that he should loose his life like that." "Oh, shut up," said Mandy's husbond.
Hej! Komfal-de-ra, grib om madammen, ud på gulvet -en - to - tre!
Hey! Come "Faldera", and grab your lady, out on the floor and one - two - three!
"Så - så" sa' Niels fra nabogård'n, "så'n sir' man int' te' en begravelse"!
"Come now," said Niel from the farm next door, "that's not how you talk at a funeral"!
"Det var satans" sagde smedens Jørgen. "Der'r vist no'et galt med din begavelse"!
"What a damn," said the smiths' son John. "I think there's something wrong with your fun'ral"
Og så sprang Niels og Jørgen på hinanden, og pluds'lig sloges alle mand,
And then Niel and John jumped at eachother, and suddenly everybody fought
én fik en flaske midt i panden, og Maren misted' sin sidste tand.
one got a bottle between the eyes, and Mandy lost her very last tooth.
Hej! Komfal-de-ra, grib om madammen, ud på gulvet -en - to - tre!
Hey! Come "Faldera", and grab your lady, out on the floor and one - two - three!
En flaske bjæsk fløj gennem rummet, og pluds'lig blev der ro igen;
A bottle of booze flew threw the air, and suddenly everyone was quiet;
al skrål og larm var helt forstummet, da flasken lander oven på Kræn.
all screaming and noise completely gone, when the bottle lands on top of Chris.
Hans skjorte den bli'r våd og klam, og hans næse den får den gamle glød,
His shirt becomes wet and damp, and his nose regains its familiar glow,
han si'r: "Hvem fa'n smider rundt med mine drammer,
He says: "Who the hell throws my booze about,
ska' de ødes væk bar' fordi jeg er død"?!!!
are they to be squandered away just because I'm dead?!!!"
Hej! Komfal-de-ra, grib om madammen, ud på gulvet -en - to - tre!
Hey! Come "Faldera", and grab your lady, out on the floor and one - two - three!
Så nu skal der festes - for Kræn!
Time to party - for Chris!
