Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ring en vän när det går snett
Vi får ju gö så gott vi kan
Och sedan ge varandra hjälp
Ring Mats din gamla kompis
Rören i stärkarn glöder jag tror jag blöder
Repen lämnar marken som en luftballong mot skyn
Trasslar sig i tallkronan i utkanten av byn
Fjärrljus i Januari
Plogkanter som glöder för tusenbröder
Snårskogen som trasslar sig runt skidorna på Lompis
Ring Mats din gamla kompis
För det är inte alltid enkelt
Ring en vän när det går snett
Vi får ju gö så gott vi kanten
Och sedan ge varandra hjälp
Vi måste ge varandra hjälp
