Some walk with broken shoes

Versions: #1 #2 #3 #4#5

Some (as in people) walk with broken shoes,

tell (me) why is it so

God father witch in heaven lives

Maybe wants it that way

God father witch in heaven lives,

closes his eyes and sleeps good.

Who cares about a pare of broken shoes,

when you're old and tired

Who cares about how the days passes,

they continue freely. (lit. wander as they want)

Citizens within hundred years,

you'll no longer exist

Then someone else has taken you're chair,

of that you know nothing

You feel neither rain or sun,

down in your dark grave

Who cares about how the nights passes,

i don't give damn.

As long as I have my appearance left,

hidden in my darlings hair.

I am an doubtful character

Who's not good for nothing.

Behind a corner the devils lurking.

He grabs me when he wants

Some walk with broken shoes,

until they have stopped walking.

The Devil that lives in Hell,

gets a good laugh then.

Thanks! ❤

Author's comments:

+ Säg vad beror det på - Usually when you want someone to explain a bit more thoroughly, as in "Vad beror det på?" - "Why is that so?"
+ Blundar (att blunda) - A verb meaning "To close ones eyes".
+ Att inte bry sig ett spår - "Ett spår" is just something you can add, just like you ad "A damn". "Jag bryr mig inte - ett spår" "I dont care - give a damn"
+ Duga - Att "duga" is a way to describe if something/someone is "good enough". "det duger" - "thats good enough". "det duger inte" - "thats not good enough"

If there is any questions just ask!
