Skål - Vamp

Eg drikke ein skål for kver bror så e slagen

For han så gjekk vill uten kart og kompass

For han så e tiggar og åpenlyst naken

For misslykka liv vil eg heva mitt glass

Min skål e for han så låg utslått i ringen

Der andre blei løfta av jubelens rus

For han di bar ut itte feilskjer i svingen

For fangen i lenkene løfte eg mitt krus

Skål for fuglen så klinke mot rutå

For kver flygar i brått og i brann

Skål for kver seilar som kålseilte skutå

Og for den himlause, skål for Johan uten land

Eg drikke ein skål for kvert dyr i ei fella

For deg som i livet forfeilte ditt mål

Når solå e røe og dagen må hella

Då ser eg i speilet og tømme min skål

Skål for fuglen så klinke mot rutå

For kver flygar i brått og i brann

Skål for kver seilar som kålseilte skutå

Og for den himlause, skål for Johan uten land

Skål for fuglen så klinke mot rutå

For kver flygar i brått og i brann

Skål for kver seilar som kålseilte skutå

Og for den himlause, skål for Johan uten land

I drink a toast for each brother who is beaten

Because he got lost without a map and a compass

For he looked begging and openly naked

To the failed life I will raise my glass

My toast is because he lay knocked out in the ring

Where others were lifted by the intoxication of jubilation

Because he didn't make mistakes in the swing

To the prisoner in the chains I raise my mug

Cheers to the bird as it clicks against the window

For each flies in haste and in fire

Cheers to every sailor who sailed the boat

And for the skyless, cheers for Johan without land

I drink a bowl for each animal in a trap

For you who in life missed your goal

When the sun goes down and the day must pour

Then I look in the mirror and empty my bowl

Cheers to the bird as it clicks against the window

For each flies in haste and in fire

Cheers to every sailor who sailed the boat

And for the skyless, cheers for Johan without land

Cheers to the bird as it clicks against the window

For each flies in haste and in fire

Cheers to every sailor who sailed the boat

And for the skyless, cheers for Johan without land
