Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eg e bonde, eg kjøre traktor
Eg he caps der stenne John Deere på
Den he eg på meg inne og ude
ja, den ska eg ha på meg heilt te eg stube
høy - høy - høy

Eg he gode greia på saue og eg e alre bitten redde studa
eg kan fortella deg i det vida og det breia om alt det goda graset eg he sleie
og høy
høy - høy - høy

Det er sjelden at meg og kåno tege fri, det er alltid någe me kan henga fingrane i
Og sko det vær en dag det er litt lide å gjør, så slær me av maskinane
og så melke me for hånd!
Ja, eg e bonde, eg e fydde oppi løo
Heila livet he eg slede for føo
Min fyste kamerat, du det va et lide låm
eg kan huska eg stod der og såg på når det kom ud
ud - ud - ud

Eg er bonde, eg forhauste
og eg he caps der stenne John Deere på




Den he eg på meg inne og ude
ja, den ska eg ha på meg heilt te eg stube!

Overall Meaning

The song "Bonde" by Tønes is an ode to farming and the life of a farmer. The lyrics are written from the perspective of a proud farmer who is describing his daily routine and the hard work he puts into farming. The opening stanza introduces the singer as a farmer who drives a tractor and wears a cap sporting the John Deere logo, a popular brand of farming machinery. The cap is so precious to him that he wears it both indoors and outdoors. The recurring line "høy - høy - høy" is the sound of the hay baler in the background, which is a staple sound on a farm.


In the next stanza, the farmer talks about his expertise on sheep and cows and how he can proudly brag about the quality of the grass he feeds them. He also mentions his love for hay, which is another essential part of farming and an important staple for the animals. As the song progresses, he talks about how the farmer's work is a full-time job with no breaks, but even on days when there is very little to do, they find a way to stay busy. He talks about how he and his fellow farmers hang out, socializing and enjoying each other's company, and if they ever have a slow day, they turn the machines off and milk by hand.


In conclusion, "Bonde" is a song about the hard work, love, and dedication that goes into farming. The song celebrates the farming community and the values of simplicity and hard work that come with it.
