Текст песни: By the Death Bed of Mor Aase + перевод

Per, you’re a trouble maker and a liar too

The stories you’re telling me can’t be true

You’ve been riding a goat, you tell me, all over the mountain

You’ve been teased by the green clad one in the Hall of the Mountain King

Well, I ain’t no liar

Every word is true

And there’s more to the story, mother

I ain’t fooling you

Listen!

Well, I’ve been through the desert, mother

I’ve learned my business in Morocco

I’ve seen the Colossi of Memnon and the Sphinx, mother

With my own eyes, in a madhouse in Cairo

(«Aldri red jeg slik en fole! Midt imod, der vi for fram

Var det som der gnistred sole. Brune ørnerygge svam

Som i dans; - de sang, de svang seg i ring for syn og øre!»)

I just want you to know

Close your eyes and we’ll go

To the castle west of the moon

The castle east of the sun

Oh, sweet mother, can you see?

You’re eyes are wet now, believe me

Old Saint Peter is calling you in

Let the party begin

Oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, Per, you’re a heart-breaker, but you don’t fool me

I might be dying but still my mind is clear

I’m getting weaker now, but I can tell

Your lying and cheating will send you right down to hell

Well, I ain’t no cheater… no, no

Every word is true

There’s even more to the story, mother

Let me tell you

Now shut up and listen!

I run the world with three love-hungry women

I shot an underground preacher in his head

The skinny one told me I did not belong in hell, mother

I tell you no lies, that’s what she said!

And I just want you to know

Close your eyes and we’ll go

To the castle west of the moon

The castle east of the sun

Oh, sweet mother, can you see?

You’re eyes are closed now, believe me

Old Saint Peter has just called you in

May the party begin

Oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah
