lyrics

JOF & MIA:
Hästen sitter i trädet och gal.
Å hu! Å hu!
Vägen är bred men porten smal.
Den svarte dansar på stranden.

Hönan jamar i mörkaste sjö.
Mjau! Mjau!
Dagen är röd men fisken död.
Den svarte hukar på stranden.

Bocken väser med tänderna två
Hiuish! Hiuish!
Blåsten är tung och vågen slår.
Den svarte mökar på stranden.

Hästen sitter i trädet och gal.
Å hu! Å hu!
Vägen är bred men porten smal.
Den svarte dansar på stranden.

Hönan jamar i mörkaste sjö.
Mjau! Mjau!
Dagen är röd men fisken död.
Den svarte hukar på stranden.

Ormen flaxar i himlens höjd.
Å hu! Å hu!
Jungfrun är blek men musen nöjd.
Den svarte ränner på stranden.

Suggan värper och katten sår.
Å hu! Å hu!
Natten är sot och mörkret står.
Den svarte stannar, stannar,
stannar, stannar på stranden.


……….


JOF & MIA:
Horse is sitting in the tree with the crows.
Oh hu! Oh hu!
The road is wide but the gate narrow.
The shadow dancing on the sea shore.

Chicken meowing in the darkest lake.
Meow! Meow!
The day is red but the fish dead.
The shadow crouching on the sea shore.

The goat hisses with two teeth
Huish! Huish!
The wind is heavy and the wave strikes .
The shadow mocks on the sea shore

The horse is sitting in the tree with the crows .
Oh hu ! Oh hu !
The road is wide but the gate narrow.
The shadow dancing on the sea shore

Chicken meowing in darkest lake.
Meow ! Meow !
The day is red but the fish dead.
The shadow crouching on the sea shore

The snake flaps in heaven height.
Oh hu ! Oh hu !
The Virgin is pale but the mouse satisfied.
The shadow still running on the sea shore

Sow laying hens and the cat wounds.
Oh hu ! Oh hu !
The night is soot and the darkness remains.
The shadow stops, stops,
stops, stops on the sea shore
