Lars Berghagen En kväll i juni translation
Ja det va´ en kväll I juni, då när sommarn e´ som bäst
Yes it was a night in June, when the summer is at it's best
Hon dansade för morfar som hon gillar allra mest.
She danced for grandpa who she likes the best
Hennes morfar satt å nynna på en sommarmelodi
Her grandpa sat and hummed a summer melody
Plötsligt spratt de´ till I gubben, han blev ung och han blev fri
Suddenly something sparked in the old man, he became young and he became free
Han tog av sig sin kavaj
He took off his jacket
Sparka av sig båda skorna.
Kicked off both of his shoes
Å så spotta´ han ut snuset
And he spit out his snuff
Och sa min sköna får jag lov
And said 'my lady, may I have this dance'
Hon var vacker, han var stolt, rak I ryggen som en fura
She was beautiful, he was proud, straight in the back like a pine
Det var sommar det var glädje och de dansade och sjöng
It was summer, there was joy and they danced and they sang
Så mindes han å sa;
Then he remembered and said:
Ja du skulle sett din mormor, hon va´ lika grann som du
Yes you should have seen your grandma, she was as fine as you
Där hon dansade I gräset likadant som du gör nu
Where she danced in the grass like you're doing now
Hennes hår var blekt av solen hennes mun var smultronröd
Her hair was bleached by the sun, her mouth was wild strawberry red
Hon va´ ljuvlig som en lilja hennes kärlek va´ som glöd
She was lovely like a lily, her love was like fervor
Så jag tog av mig min kavaj
So I took of my jacket
Sparka av mig båda skorna.
Kicked off both of my shoes
Å så spotta´ jag ut snuset
And I spit out my snuff
Och sa min sköna får jag lov
And said 'my lady, may I have this dance'
Hon var vacker, jag var stolt, rak I ryggen som en fura
She was beautiful, I was proud, straight in the back like a pine
Det var sommar det var glädje och de dansade och sjöng
It was summer, there was joy and they danced and they sang
