- Here is another of Triakels sweet, yet dark folk-tunes. It is the story of Gammel Sara, Old Sarah. She was receiving an old-age pension from the village. The villagers resented having to pay this, so...
Out I went on Monday
Cut a switch of birch twigs on Tuesday
Beat the life out of old Sara on Wednesday
So she lay stone dead on Thursday
They dug the grave and rang the bells on Friday
Because that's how it's done in the country
On Saturday they wound Sara's body
Off to church they carted it on Sunday
Beer and cakes were what I gave to the wake
To ring the bells and to sing at Sara's funeral
I gave the priest a black cow
to say the prayer at old Sara's burial
The combination of the traditional instruments and Emmas pure sweet voice, and the dark humour of the lyrics really makes this song a winner. If you listen close at the beginning, you can hear the pump-organ being pumped up! Enjoy!
She is a folkmusic genius. I have talked to her in Lund at Basilika and they are all the most humble people you can imagine.
Stroke of genius this song.
I used to listen to this album over and over at my 3-month-stay in Sweden in 2001. Back then, I had no opportuity to tell you, the band, how much I like it. Now I can :)! Besides Sabaton, this music means "Sweden" to me!
That was the funniest translation I have seen, but also very intelligent.
Tack för undertexter! Jag lär mig svenska därför är det mycket användbart!
Ihr seid wunderbar,ich mag euch sehr!
Awesome!! Love it ♥♥
I love the second picture ^^
Dark indeed.
@Blixish u know this is hard if u can't understand lol, try this french folk band "malicorne" and their song " la conduite" this is sure different, but from the same age.
Главное не забывать свои корни
Wonderful song!
Could you tel l me the meaning of this song's words?
Is the "r" rolled that much in modern Swedish language?
Yes. Unless your Scanian, Posh Stockholmer or Lazy.
Ihr seid wunderbar,ich mag euch sehr!
