Eit Skot Te

One Last Shot

Eit Skot Te

For forty years I've hunted deer.I førti år ha eg jakta rein.
Stomping and tired over bog and stoneStampa og trøtt over myr og stein
With a Mauser and an old backpack.Med ein mauser og gamal rupesekk.
But my breath ain't as good as it used to be,Men pusten æ'kji so god som'n va,
I love hunting, but soon I won't care.Eg æ glad I jakt, men snart likeglad.
I'm nearsighted, and the sweat runs like a stream.Eg æ nærsynt, og sveitten renn som ein bekk.

But one last shot I gotta make. Final hunt.Men eitt skot te ska eg greie. Siste jakt.
One buck I’m gonna take, so it’s goodbye and thanks!Ein bukk te ska eg skjøte, so æ're farrvell og takk!

Who’s that coming up now?Kæm æ're som kjem ranglan' no?
Looks like Olav Ro.Dæ ser ut som'n Olav Ro.
What’s up with you, man? You better hop on!Koss æ're mæ're kar? Du får no stige på!
It’s been a while since we hunted together.Dæ'æ lengji sea me jakta ilag.
Did you get a license, are you in a crew?Ha'ru fått deg kort, æ'ru med I eit lag?
I was thinking about it, but I'm hesitant to go.Eg hadde tenkt meg te, men kvie for å gå.

I’ve been thinking about buying a cabin in the mountains,Eg ha tenkt å kjøpe ei hytte te fjells,
Sitting outside in a sheepskin coatSita utta veggen I saueskinnspels
And chilling, overlooking the glacier and the sky.Og kjikre, over bre og fly.
I haven’t even shot my gun yet,Eg ha'kji eigong skote børsa inn,
But it works just as well as your Krag,Men ho går like godt som Krag'en din,
That’s a good rifle! I’m never buying new!Dæ'æ god børse! Eg kjøpe alder ny!

'Cause one last shot I can make. Final hunt.For eitt skot te kan ho greie. Siste jakt.
One buck I’m gonna take, so it’s goodbye and thanks!Ein bukk te ska eg skjøte, so æ're farrvell og takk!
