LOVE LOVE LOVE

Words & Music: Pugh Rogefeldt

Translation into English: Lars Tennander

The day before yesterday

that day was not a day that you could call my lucky day

that day birds were not a-whistling

to town there came a little guy they call Don Juan

Well how could you agree to what he said

What got into your head?

The promises he made were only talk

ticky-tacky talk but

I can give you very much more

mutton and cabbage, cutlet and pork

Tuesday on Tuesday on Friday encore

yeah I’m gonna give you love, love, love

When you woke up yesterday

When you opened up your eyes you didn’t feel so good

the day before yesterday

that day you let me down for that guy they call Don Juan

You looked at me as though I was to blame

calling me insane!

But as that guy is waiting ‘round the bend

I’ll tell you once again that

I will give you very much more

mutton and cabbage, cutlet and pork

Tuesday on Tuesday on Friday encore

yeah I’m gonna give you love, love, love

cutlet and cabbage canned,

mickey the mouse, anything you like

the cat on the rat and the rat is you

yeah I’m gonna give you love, love, LOVE

HERE COMES THE NIGHT

(HÄR KOMMER NATTEN)

Words & Music: Pugh Rogefeldt

Translation into English: Lars Tennander

Here comes the night

cold and so very long

here comes the darkness

dape-dape-dape-da-da-da

When everybody

is fast asleep in their beds

the night is coming

dape-dape...

When you come

I will sit here and take all that you will give me

and when you go

I know that you’ll soon be here again

The city’s shining

in colours of the rainbow

the city’s shining

dape-dape...

See all the people

who cry, laugh and suffer

here comes the night

dape-dape...

When you come...

You are my, Night

SURA-BAYA-JOHNNY

I was so young, oh no just sixteen

And you came from Burma to here.

And you said, that you’d take care of me

And we’d be together

I asked about your position

And you said as true as I’m here

That you were working on the railroad

The sea you didn’t come near.

You said so much Johnny

Lies, everything Johnny

You have betrayed me Johnny

from the first moment

Oh, I hate you Johnny

There you’re snearing Johnny.

So take the ´pipe from your mouth

Now bastard.

Naughty-Baya-Johnny

Why are you so cruel

Naughty-Baya-Johnny

Why do I love you so

Naughty-Baya-Johnny

Why am I not happy

You haven’t got a heart

At first, it was always Sunday

As long as I was with you

But after a couple of weeks

You didn’t like, anymore.

There and there in geography

along rivers towards the sea we went

I looked wasted

When I look myself in the mirror

You didn’t want love Johnny

only money Johnny

And I gave you more

So, take the pipe from your mouth

You bastard.

Naughty-Baya-Johnny

Why are you so cruel

Naughty-Baya-Johnny

Why do I love you so

Naughty-Baya-Johnny

Why am I not happy

You haven’t got a heart

(Oh, I love you so)

I didn’t think of where, you

Got your name, and why

But all along this coast

You were a well known guy

One morning in a dive

I listened of the sound of the sea

And you left me without goodbye

And your boat was docked at the pier

You haven’t got a heart Johnny

You left Johnny but why

Still I love you Johnny

Like the first moment

So take the pipe from your mouth

You bastard.

TELL THE DUSTY SKIES

(SMÅ LÄTTA MOLN)

Words & Music: Pugh Rogefeldt

Translation into English: Turid Lundqvist

Tell the dusty skies

that they’re born for summer

summer in the air

Here comes a-rambling summer

with dusty light skies

sweeping from the city

in the dizzy white clouds

Tell the little green tree

her leaves can gladly burst now

burst the girlish tears

Here comes a-rambling summer

and teasing spring’s gone

Here comes a-sweeping sunlight

with little tippling and songs

Refrain:

Summerbreeze

I will squeeze

with my senses

no more cold, but warmth immense

Tell the dusty skies...etc

Refrain

Tell the little green tree...etc

I met you yesterday

I looked at you Andersson

You smiled at me yesterday

You looked at me Andersson

Can’t get you out of my mind

My heart still waits for a sign

Oh your eyes must give me a sign

Silent eyes please give me a sign

I met you yesterday

And your eyes must give me a sign

I thought the night was dead

The day before Andersson

But yesterday it turned red

You smiled at me Andersson

You switched the light on, and see

We two will never make three

Silent eyes, the night turned red

Silent eyes, the morning is dead
