MATZ – KUNG PÅ SIN VESPA
MATZ – KING ON HIS VESPA
En hyllning till världens bästa pappa och morfar
A tribute to the world's best dad and grandpa
Vers 1 Det finns en gubbe som heter Matz,
Verse 1 There's an old man named Matz,
han tar livet med ett skratt och en klackspark i sin takt.
he takes life with a laugh and a skip in his step.
En kall liten öl och en snus under läpp,
A cold little beer and a snus under his lip,
och en grillad korv – ja, då är livet komplett!
and a grilled sausage – yes, then life is complete!
Han har jobbat sina år, nu är det hans tur,
He has worked his years, now it's his turn,
att njuta av friheten och ta dagen som den är.
to enjoy freedom and take the day as it comes.
Med pensionärens frihet och vinden i sitt hår,
With a pensioner's freedom and the wind in his hair,
han lever livet bättre än nån annan förmår!
he lives life better than anyone else can!
Refräng För det är Matz, Matz, våran alldeles egna Matz!
Chorus For it's Matz, Matz, our very own Matz!
Med öl och snus och korv i sin hand.
With beer and snus and sausage in his hand.
Han susar fram på sin Vespa så glatt,
He zips along on his Vespa so happily,
som en kung på vägarna, både dag och natt!
like a king on the roads, both day and night!
Ja, Matz, Matz, vilken härlig man!
Yes, Matz, Matz, what a wonderful man!
Två döttrar som älskar honom så gott de kan.
Two daughters who love him as much as they can.
Och numera morfar till William så fin,
And now grandpa to little William, so fine,
Matz, du är vår hjälte – du är nummer ett i vårt liv!
Matz, you are our hero – you are number one in our lives!
Vers 2 Två fina döttrar har han uppfostrat väl,
Verse 2 Two lovely daughters he has raised well,
även om de kanske tagit några år av hans själ.
even if they perhaps took a few years off his soul.
Men nu har han fått en ny liten skatt,
But now he has a new little treasure,
lille William som gör morfar varm och glad.
little William who makes grandpa warm and happy.
Han får vara morfar och busa lite grann,
He gets to be grandpa and play around a bit,
visa William hur man njuter av livet minsann.
show William how to truly enjoy life.
Kanske blir det Vespa när grabben blir stor,
Maybe it'll be a Vespa when the boy grows up,
och en korv på vägen med världens bästa morfar!
and a sausage on the road with the world's best grandpa!
Refräng För det är Matz, Matz, våran alldeles egna Matz!
Chorus For it's Matz, Matz, our very own Matz!
Med öl och snus och korv i sin hand.
With beer and snus and sausage in his hand.
Han susar fram på sin Vespa så glatt,
He zips along on his Vespa so happily,
som en kung på vägarna, både dag och natt!
like a king on the roads, both day and night!
Ja, Matz, Matz, vilken härlig man!
Yes, Matz, Matz, what a wonderful man!
Två döttrar som älskar honom så gott de kan.
Two daughters who love him as much as they can.
Och numera morfar till William så fin,
And now grandpa to little William, so fine,
Matz, du är vår hjälte – du är nummer ett i vårt liv!
Matz, you are our hero – you are number one in our lives!
Stick Nu är det pensionärsliv, inga tider att passa,
Bridge Now it's retirement life, no times to keep,
bara njuta av livet och låta dagarna slappna.
just enjoy life and let the days relax.
Lite öl i glaset, lite snus på sin plats,
A little beer in the glass, a little snus in its place,
och världens bästa morfar – det är våran Matz!
and the world's best grandpa – that's our Matz!
Sista refrängen – ALLA SJUNGER! För det är Matz, Matz, skål för våran Matz!
Last chorus – EVERYONE SINGS! For it's Matz, Matz, cheers to our Matz!
Vespan den går och han gasar med fart!
The Vespa goes and he speeds up!
Med två fina döttrar och William bredvid,
With two lovely daughters and William beside him,
har han allt han behöver här i sitt liv!
he has everything he needs here in his life!
Ja, Matz, Matz, idag är det din dag!
Yes, Matz, Matz, today is your day!
Vi höjer våra glas och ropar ett hurra!
We raise our glasses and shout a hurrah!
Vi älskar dig precis som du är,
We love you just the way you are,
GRATTIS PÅ FARSDAG – DU ÄR OSS SÅ KÄR!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY – YOU ARE SO DEAR TO US!
Outro (pratsång med skratt): Och kom nu ihåg Matz…
Outro (spoken singing with laughter): And remember now Matz…
Det är aldrig för sent att gasa på!
It's never too late to step on the gas!
Så länge det finns öl, snus och korv…
As long as there's beer, snus, and sausage…
och bensin i Vespan – DÅ KÖR VI! 🍻
and gas in the Vespa – THEN LET'S GO! 🍻
