Romjulsdrøm - Eva Weel Skram

En skulle vøri fire år i romjul’n

Og kjint ei jinte som var nesten fem

Og begge skulle kledd seg ut med masker

Og komme julbukk til et bestemorshjem

Og klokka skulle væra midt på dagen

Og vegen skulle væra lett og gå

Og alle bikkjer skulle væra inne

Og alle biler skulle berre stå

Og viss ein møtte unger etter vegen

Som gjorde narr og vill væra med

Så sku en hatt en bror i fmte klassen

Som rydde veg så folk fekk gå i fred

Og best’morhuset skulle mæssom sova

Og bak gardina skulle ingen sjå

Før vi fekk stiltre oss på tå i gangen

Og feste maska før vi banka på

Så sku vi klampe inn på høge heler

Og kvinke julbukkmål: Godkveld, godkveld

Og djupt i stolen sku ho bestmor svara

Så kom det julbokk til en stakkar lell

En skulle være fire år i romjul’n

Når julelysa brente dagen lang

One would be four years old this Christmas

And a little girl who was almost five

And both were to dress up with masks

And bring Santa Claus to a grandmother's home

And the time was supposed to be midday

And the road should be easy and easy

And all bitches should be inside

And all cars should just stand still

And if you met children along the way

Who made fun and want to join

Then one saw a brother in the fifth grade

Like clearing the way so people could walk in peace

And the great-grandmother's house was supposed to sleep soundly

And behind the curtain no one was supposed to see

Before we had to tiptoe in the hallway

And attach the mask before we knock on

Then we stepped into high heels

And five Christmas greetings: Good evening, good evening

And deep in the chair she saw her grandmother answer

Then there was a Christmas present for a poor kid

One would be four years old in Romjul'n

When the Christmas lights burned all day
