Eving Voit - So Framandt Folk Ogso Får (English Translation) Lyrics[Verse 1]
In a foreign home lays foreign folk
In the bed in the room that the father painted
In a foreign room stood a table and some
That were a gift given by mom
[Chorus]
In the windowsill sits a flowerpot
With the cactus he'd gotten at the fair
[Verse 2]
In a foreign kitchen one finds food
They got out of bed and had a little chat
Ate their breakfast, went to their jobs
He quit his former one before he reached the top
[Chorus]
And on the dеsk at the job stands a picture
That sorely rеminds him of his dad
[Verse 3]
For supper he came home, there they waited
His wife and sister, with news so dejected
It had been exptected, now mother had died
But he'd been too embarrased to even say goodbye
[Refreng]
When he had visited a week before
Now he walked up the stairs with a body so numb
For on the attic lays the memories from all the years
That foreign folk also get
