Kjykkenbordet - Tønes

Kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt om tåre å snått

Å mat så ikkje smakte så fryktelig godt

«Gap opp» sa eg

«Lige ikkje?»

Dar e ikkje någe så hette eg ikkje lige

Du må eda, du må eda ellers bli du sjuge

Her kjeme flyet bzzzz, nå kjeme båten, dugg dugg dugg dugg — gap opp

Kjykkenbordet huske sikkert smatting å slorping å raping

Å flekka på dugen så aldri gjenge vekk

Å det huske sikkert pappa då dugen hekta seg i beltespenno

Han reiste seg å drog det med seg det havna i en hau på gålvet

Ja kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt i timevis

Men det står bare der å holde kjeft

Å det håbe at någen snart ska strama de dinglete beinane

Å mange gånge he det hørt pappa heva stemmen sin å sei

«De må ikkje bare dra, de må løfta!

Ska de ødelegga det bordet?

De måkje bare dra, de må løfta, ser de ikkje at det helde på te å rasa ihoba?»

Kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt om melkeglass så velta

Å om skorpe så blei ligganse igjen

Om nase så lokte på gammalt pålegg, om heimabakt brød kontra kjøpt

Ja, kjykkenbordet konne sikkert fortelt i timevis

Men det står bare der å tie

Ja det står bare der å skrangle for skruene te beinan e lause

Kjykkenbordet svaie når heile familien ede på likt

Beinane sko våre stramde men det e sånne ting me gjør ei annar gong

Finne ikkje skrujernet nå, vett ikkje kor det ligge ei gång

Så kan me sidda stille å eda å ikkje snakka meir om det

Så kan kjykkenbordet bare svaia så ferdig med det

The kitchen table could certainly be told about tears and stings

The food didn't taste so terribly good

"Shut up," I said

"Not yet?"

There is no one, so my name is not right

You must eda, you must eda or you will be sick

Here comes the plane bzzzz, now comes the boat, dew dew dew dew — gape up

The kitchen table surely remember smacking and slurping and belching

Staining the tablecloth never went away

Oh, I'm sure dad remembers that when the cloth got caught in the belt buckle

He got up and dragged it with him, it ended up in a heap on the floor

Yes, the kitchen table could probably be told for hours

But it just says shut up

Let's hope someone tightens the dangling legs soon

Oh many times he heard dad raise his voice to say

"They must not just leave, they must lift!

Are they going to destroy that table?

They just have to go, they have to lift, don't they see that it's time to crash the hill?"

The kitchen table could probably be told about milk glasses overturned

Oh if crust then stay put again

If the nose is tempted by old toppings, if home-baked bread versus bought

Yes, the kitchen table could probably be talked about for hours

But it just says to be silent

Yes it just says there to rattle the screws te beinan e lause

The kitchen table sways when the whole family agrees

Our legs were tight in our shoes, but that's the sort of thing I do another time

Can't find the screwdriver now, don't know where it is once

Then we can sit quietly and say no more about it

Then the kitchen table can just sway and be done with it
