Va' den grön så får du en ny [English translation]
Va' den grön så får du en ny [English translation]
I had bought myself a Thermos
In a store down in Målilla
It was really nice
Until I filled it with coffee
Then it broke into a thousand pieces
Then I called up the Chin
That's the name of the store keeper
(That's because he in fact has a really big chin)
And I told him: My thermos is broken,
is there a warranty on these?
Well, said the Chin, very crudely and slowly
He spoke very slowly... And crudely...
My boy, if it was red, you'll have to do without it
But if it was green, I'll give you a new one
(As a matter of fact, he only exchanges green items)
SOLO
Then I told the Chin:
I feel a deep sorrow and deprivation
(in other words)
The thermos was green like summer time grass
It was so poetic that he fell into tears
In a hoarse voice he said: I'll give you two new thermoses
I have a few laying around here in the warehouse
That I have received insurance payment for
And both of them are green
Yes, so I ended up getting two new thermoses...
Thermoses that are red
Can't be exchanged, but green thermoses
Can be exchanged, exchanged, exchang-ed
If you want to, that is, if you shop at the Chin's store
In Målilla..
