Jag har inte tid [English translation]

This is the story about a woman, Mrs. Parat

She makes even slaves seem lazy

She preens and she tidies and she cleans almost constantly

In order to not mess it up, nobody is invited home

And when her friends call, "Come on, go out with us!"

She sighs and responds: "Sure, that would be fun."

But I don't have time today

No, I don't even have a little time today

We can try next week or something

Because I don't even have a little time today

Then came the day when she met the man in her life

But marriage had to wait because she didn't have time

And when it was time to give birth to their kids

She called her midwife and said "I'm in terrible pain

Our love child is welcome, without a doubt

But if I play it safe, tell me, can I wait a little bit?"

But I don't have time today

No, I don't even have a little time today

We can try next week or something

Because I don't even have a little time today

But the child came into world, grew up and became a man

He called late at night and asked: "Mom, help me if you can.

Everything's gone to hell,

And the cops are after me, I've done a lot of stupid things"

She replied, "Oh, dear, of course I'll support you.

Otherwise this will be the death of you."

But I don't have time today

No, I don't even have a little time today

We can try next week or something

Because I don't even have a little time today

Time passed, she's now living as a lonely retiree

One stormy night, she heard someone outside her door, who's there?

She opens the door, sees Death has come knocking

He hisses: "Your time is up, it's time to go."

She said: "I haven't cleaned enough today

And what will everyone say if I leave it as it is and die?"

But I don't have time today

No, I don't even have a little time today

We can try next week or something

Because I don't even have a little time today
