Min Dag

It was probably a Tuesday morning, I was sitting there looking at the pile of bills.Det var vel en tirsdag morra æ satt der å kikka på regningsbunken.
It was a meter and a half high; can’t see that I’ve received,Den var en og en halv meter høy; kan ikke se å ha mottatt,
can’t see that I’ve received, can’t see that I’ve received,kan ikke se å ha mottatt, kan ikke se å ha mottatt,
can’t see that I’ve received, can’t see that I’ve receivedkan ikke se å ha mottatt, kan ikke se å ha mottatt
from the bank and the tax man and all kinds of crap.i fra bank og kemner og alt slags svineri.
Then at the bottom of the damn pile was a beautiful littleDa nederst i herre bunken lå det et vakkert lite
letter from the Lotto in Hamar, saying they’d transferredbrev i fra Lotto på Hamar, der det stod at dem hadd overført
5.2 million crowns to my account.til kontoen min 5,2 million krona.

I thought this has to be celebrated,Æ tenkt at det herre mått feires,
and I ran down and bought a whole case of beer.og sprang ned og kjøpt ei heil kasse øl.
I stumbled up to the counter when I heard a fanfareÆ vakla mæ frem i mot kassa der hørt æ ei fanfare
and a loud-ass roar.og et jævla høgt brøl.
There stood Rølien Saue and Hallvard Flatland and the whole Oslo Gospel Choir.Der stod hu Rølien Saue og Hallvard Flatland og hele Oslo Gospelkor.
They cheered and hugged and kissed me,Dæm hylta og bar sæ og kyssa og klemmt mæ,
I was customer number ten million.æ var kunde nummer ti million.

And Quiet Birgitte was standing a bit in the background but finally she stepped forward.Og Tause Birgitte ho stod litt i bakgrunn men endelig duva ho frem
She gave me a ticket all the way to the Bahamas and back again.Ho ga mæ en billett heilt te Bahamas og tilbakers igjen.
I stumbled home and opened a beerÆ vakla mæ hjemover og åpna en pilsner
and saw that the ticket was issued for two.og så at biletten var utstedt for to.
It was written in lovely Birgitte’s handwriting:Der stod det med nydlige Birgittes håndskrift:
We’ll meet on the plane at two o’clock.Vi møtes på flyet klokka to.

One night at the bar in beautiful Bahamas,En kveld der i baren på vakre Bahamas,
the most gorgeous thing God must have made camekom det nydligste Gud måtta ha gjort
It was Cindy Crawford, she came right up to meDet va Cindy Crawford ho kom rett i mot mæ
and kissed me so I was completely gone.og kyssa mæ så æ vart heilt bort
She whispered some words in my ear,hu viska så no'n ord i mitt øre
I've been watching you baby, let's get married tonight.I've been watching you baby, let's get married tonight
I looked desperately at Quiet Birgitte but she nodded, alright, alright.Æ kikka fortvila på tause Birgitte men ho nikka, allright, allright.

Now good advice was expensive, we wanted to get married, but a priest wasn’t easy to find.No va gode råd dyre, vi villa bli gift ,men en prest va ittj enkelt å finn
Then we heard some cursing, the glasses were clinkingda hørt vi no bannskap det singla i glass
and Bjørn Eidsvåg came crashing in (hallelujah).og Bjørn Eidsvåg kom ramlan inn(hallelujah)
And I said yes and Cindy said yes and soon we were both lying there happy.Og æ svara ja og Cindy sa yes og snart lå vi der godt begge to.
I told her about Aamot and Ulvang and SputnikÆ forteld ho om Aamot og Ulvang og Sputnik
and she said Norway is my country now.og ho sa Norge e landet mitt no.
