Varannan damernas [English translation]

It is a funny time,

a very notable time;

It has become the fashion to be brainless.

To not think for yourself,

to not have an opinion for yourself;

to let yourself be shoved around in flocks,

where talk is silver and silence is gold.

Gender equality;

What is it for fucking nonsense?

I want to have a partner who can dance.

A tango is an art,

a tango demands someone;

In a tango one can never take a chance.

To take a chance is silver, to know is gold.

One season it is free competition,

the next season it is the quota day.

But to force people to something they don't know at all

is it only a fucking contempt?

Do you want to give everyone the same opportunity

can you start at the bottom?

What do you say about the same salary for the same job?

Everything else is only a mockery.

Our people in their place;

Give everyone the same chance,

but only the victor can win,

If the runner up moves up

to the podium's highest top

because she in the lead was a woman,

then I would rather talk, because silence is gold,

Because the runner up gets silver but the first place gets gold.
