Cornelis Vreeswijk - Somliga går med trasiga skor

Cornelis Vreeswijk - Somliga går med trasiga skor (Some people walk in worn-out shoes)

Swedish lyrics from Youtube.
"
Sångtext:
Somliga går med trasiga skor
säg vad beror det på
Gud Fader som i himmelen bor
kanske vill ha det så

Gud Fader som i himmelen bor
blundar och sover sött
Vem bryr sig om ett par trasiga skor
när man är gammal och trött

Vem bryr sig om hur dagarna går
dom vandrar som dom vill
Medborgare om etthundra år
finns du ej längre till

Då har nån annan tagit din stol
det vet du inte av
Du känner varken regn eller sol
nere i din mörka grav

Vem bryr sig om hur nätterna far
jag bryr mig inte ett spår
Bara jag får ha mitt ansikte kvar
dolt i min älsklings hår

Jag är en tvivelaktig figur
duger ej mycket till
Bakom ett hörn står döden på lur
han tar mig när han vill

Somliga går med trasiga skor
tills de har slutat gå
Djävulen som i helvetet bor
får sig ett gott skratt då
"

Translation is mine. (Might not be perfect but it is hard to translate lyrics)

Lyrics:
Some people walk in worn-out shoes
tell my why this is so
God Father who lives in heaven
mayhap wants it so

God Father who in heaven lives
keeps his eyes shut and sleeps sweetly
Who cares about a pair of worn-out shoes
when one is old and tired

Who cares about the passing of days
they come and go as they will
Citizen, in one hundred years
you are no longer around

By then someone else has taken your seat
but you do not care
You can feel neither rain nor sun (shine)
down in your dark grave

Who cares about the passing of nights
I do not care at all
As long as I can have my face still
buried in my lover's hair

I am a dubious character
Not good for much
Behind a corner death lurks
he takes me when he wants

Some people walk in worn-out shoes
until they stop walking
the Devil who lives in hell
gets a good laugh then

See @ant: Not a single Bork :P

Also: why isn't 'å', 'ä' or 'ö' allowed in the tags when they are allowed in the description?
