När ni faller, faller ni hårt

Snippet

Lyrics
Nej, vi följer inte med.
Vi hoppar av men's vi kan.
Ni är många fler än vi, men vi klarar oss nog på egen hand.

När ni faller faller ni hårt.
När ni faller faller ni hårt.
När ni faller faller ni hårt, och om man faller är det svårt.

Ni säger vi sitter i samma båt,
men vi ror en eka på egen hand.
Ert är ert och vårt är vårt.
Ni styr mot havet och vi mot land.

När ni faller faller ni hårt...

English translation

When You Fall, You'll Fall Hard
No, we're not coming with
We're getting out while we can
You are many more than us, but we'll do fine on our own

When you fall, you'll fall hard
When you fall, you'll fall hard
When you fall, you'll fall hard and if you fall it's hard.

You keep saying we're in the same boat
But we're in a dingy of our own
Yours is yours and ours is ours
Your course is towards open sea and ours is towards land

When you fall, you'll fall hard...

Comments

This song was the first ever recorded by Gyllene Tider on EMI. MP nailed the solo the very first try! "Faller" is something as unusual as a political Gessle-song, this is about the nuclear power debate that Sweden had during the late '70s, early '80s.
