About...
These are not the poetic translations that the lyrics of Håkan Hellström really deserve, but merely made on a word-to-word basis. Sometimes an english equivalent of a swedish phrase has been used, but that's really the upper limit of my creativity here.
The purpose is that Håkan Hellström's fans abroad shall be able to know what the heck he's singing about. To truly appreciate his playfulness, the rhythm and the rhymes of Hellström's language, you will have to wait for a more professional translation though... or learn Swedish.
