Mors lilla lathund [English translation]

Mother's little cheater says:

Just believe me, I'm a good worker

Although, you know what

Not just today

I'll do it preferrably another day

Mother's little cheater said:

Nobody can be as useful as I

But do you think that I am

Do you think I am

Then I'll do it any other day

Tra-la-la-la-la-la

Tomorrow I should slave away

Throughout the entire day

Yes, oh, oh, what a toil

Yes, and you will see, consequently do I have to

Take it very easy today

Well just today

For it is not good

I'll do it preferrably another day

Tra-la-la-la-la-la

Tomorrow I should slave away

Throughout the entire day

Yes, oh, oh, what a toil

Yes, see your Mother's little cheater said:

I like to be such a fine worker

But do you think that I am

Do you think I am

Then I'll do it any other day
