Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bare så du veid det,
kvert et kyss det va et mareritt.
Og den frisyren din,
den he eg i gronnen aldri likt.
Så hei du, din gamlekjærast,
kem e det du tru du e?
Der du gjenge rondt og flire og le
ilag med de nye vennane.
I lag med de nye vennane.

Hei du din gamle, gamlekjærast,
det e'kje lett å væra gode venna.
Altfor mange brue he begynt å brenna.
Men nå he du vel finge båden på rett kjøl
og endelig fonne deg sjøl.
Nå ska du vel seila din egen sjø
og la minnan bli igjen for å dø.
Og la minnan bli igjen for å dø.

Hei du din gamlekjærast,
kem e det du tru du e?
Bare pass deg litt...




ellar så fer du deg ein
du aldri gløyme, gløyme, gløyme.
