Sveken Mann - Bjørn Eidsvåg

Han forlot alt han hadde

For det han aldri hadde fått

Han blei dyrka og elska

I et regnbueslott

Og han elska igjen som ein hengiven unge

Han dansa og sang songar

Som han aldri hadde sunge'

Nå bur han aleina i minnenes land

Prinsessa forlot han

Han e' ein sveken mann

Nå vett han godt ka skyld e'

Og han drikke når han kan

For å holde på skammen

Og forbli ei slagen mann

Vennene har meldt seg

Han e' redd for kjeft og skjenn

Ungane hans savna’n

Men han drar’kje heim igjen

Nå bur han aleina i minnenes land

Prinsessa forlot han

Han e' ein sveken mann

Av alt det han forlot

Va' det versta bud og krav

Som ein øvelse i bot slo han nådekranå av

He left everything he had

For what he had never received

He was worshiped and loved

In a rainbow castle

And he loved again as a devoted young man

He danced and sang songs

As he had never sung '

Now he lives alone in the land of memories

The princess left him

He's a weak man

Now he knows well what's the fault '

And he drinks when he can

To keep the shame

And remain a beaten man

The friends have signed up

He's afraid of shouting and scolding

Ungane hans savna’n

But he's going home again

Now he lives alone in the land of memories

The princess left him

He's a weak man

Of all that he left

What's the worst bid and requirement

As an exercise in penance, he turned off the crane of grace
