Ein farfar i livet - Odd Nordstoga

Ein farfar i livet skull´ alle ha

Ein goffa å springe ned til

Som alltid har lyst på ein kaffikopp

Og til å kaste bort tid på ein liten kropp

Ja, ein farfar i livet skull´ alle ha

Ein farfar i livet skull´ alle ha

Ein bessfar å vende seg til

Med alt som ein går rundt og lurar på

I Farfar sitt naust er det alltid råd

Ja, ein farfar i livet skull´ alle ha

Ein farfar i kjeldress skull´ alle ha

Som luktar av olje og sjø

Og med lommene fulle av gamalt skrot

Det er mykje få bruk for i Goffas rot

Ja, ein farfar i livet skull´ alle ha

Ein farfar sitt fang det er godt å ha

For Farfar har vore her før

Med heile sitt liv ligg han framom deg

Og spør du, ja, Bessfar han viser veg

Ja, ein farfar i livet skull´ alle ha

Ja, ein farfar i livet skull´ alle ha

A grandfather in life should all have

A goffa to run down to

Who always wants a cup of coffee

And to waste time on a small body

Yes, a grandfather in life should all have

A grandfather in life should all have

A grandfather to turn to

With everything that one walks around and wonders about

In Grandpa's boathouse there is always advice

Yes, a grandfather in life should all have

A grandfather in a suit should have everyone

Smelling of oil and sea

And with pockets full of old junk

There is very little use in Goffa's mess

Yes, a grandfather in life should all have

A grandfather's lap it's good to have

For Grandpa has ours here before

With his whole life he lies before you

And you ask, yes, Bessfar he shows the way

Yes, a grandfather in life should all have

Yes, a grandfather in life should all have
