Allan Olsen - Staklernes Hus
jeg kom cyklende med den gamle
da han pegede på et hus og sagde
dem der bor der er nogle stakler
det er staklernes hus
det er staklernes hus så jeg tænkte mig en familie
i skimmel og svamp
der var mørkt bag alle ruder
højst en enkelt nøgen lampe
lyste bagest i en stue
hvor de nok sad og grublede
i staklernes hus der var aldrig nogen der så dem
ikke så vidt jeg ved
nogen sagde de så et postbud
gå fløjtende derind
han tørrede en tåre væk med uniformens ærme
idet han kom ud der blev aldrig fejet fortov
folks lort fik lov at ligge og drive
man var enige om at staklerne var for stakkels
til at feje og rive
så'n som der så ud
omkring staklernes hus kun vilde blomster voksedeAllan Olsen - Staklernes Hus - http://motolyrics.com/allan-olsen/staklernes-hus-lyrics-english-translation.html
i et enkelt bed
men de vendte hovederne ud mod gaden
de vendte blomsterryggen til
og hvis en fugl kom til at flyve henover staklernes hustag
pippede den forskrækket og slog et lodret slag
og skyndte sig op i himlen
over staklernes hus vi voksede op og lærte os den dér duknakkede gang
der var standard når man gik forbi staklernes hjem
nogen gange tænkte jeg på
hvordan vi mon så ud
hvis nogen kiggede ud på os
indefra staklernes hus vi var mange der havde svært ved
at nærme os en pige
men man ku' altid snakke om staklerne
hvis man manglede noget at sige
hva' så har du hørt om de stakkels stakler
i staklernes hus
- lad mig lægge en arm omkring dig
og lad os gå en tur og lad mig vise dig
staklernes hus
Allan Olsen - The House of the Poor Souls (English translation)
I was biking around with my old man
When he pointed at a house and said
The ones living is this house are poor souls
It's the house of the poor souls
It's the house of the poor souls
So I thought of an family
In mold and fungus
Every window was dark
Nothing more than a naked lamp
Created light in the back of a room
Where they probably was wondering
In the house of the poor souls
No one ever saw them
Not as far as I know
Some people say that they've seen a mailman
walk in there whistling
He removed a tear with the sleeve of his uniform
When he went back
The sidewalk was never swept
A lot of trash got to stay
People thought that the poor souls were too poor
To sweep and rake
The way things lookedAllan Olsen - Staklernes Hus - http://motolyrics.com/allan-olsen/staklernes-hus-lyrics-english-translation.html
At the poor souls house
Only weed was growing
in one bed
But they had turned their heads to the street
The had turned their flower backs to the house
And if a bird accidentally flew above the house of the poor souls
It would shocked tweet and made a vertical stroke
And hurried up the sky
Above the house of the poor souls
We grew up and learned how to stooping walk
We had our standards when we passed by the house of the poor souls
Sometimes I wondered
How we looked
If someone was watching us
From the house of the poor souls
Some of us had a hard time
Getting near a girl
But we could always talk about the poor souls
If we didn't know what to say
Then you've heard of the poor poor souls in the house of the poor souls
- Let me put my arm around you
And let's take a stroll and let me show you
The house of the poor souls
