lyrics

Stora nordiska kriget, Sveriges stormakt i spillor står
Besegrad av ryska riket, nu plundras allt som går

Tre ryssar knackar på min stuga vid Kalixälven
Ge oss dina ägor så får du nåd annars dör du här ikväll

Ryssen knackar på
Nu jävlar ska de få
Mig rår de inte på
Nu jävlar ska de få

Varsågoda mina herrar
Att använda bastun min
Ser ni ångan där nedströms?
Låna min eka och ro dit

Där slutar denna dramatik
Och jag lägger mig till sängs
Så hör jag deras skrik
Som möter döden hemsk

De möter döden kall
I ett stort vattenfall

Translation:

The Great Nordic War, the Kingdom of Sweden in rubbles
Defeated by the Russians, that now plunder all they can

Three Russians knock on my door, in my lodge by the Kalix River
“Give us your possessions, or you will die tonight”

The Russians are coming
Now I will show them
They will not tread on me
Now I will show them

My gentleman, feel free to use my sauna
Do you see the steam downriver, borrow my boat and row there

And so ends this drama, and I go to bed
Then I hear their screams of pain, as they meet their death

They meet their death, so cold
In a large waterfall

The Russians are coming
Now I will show them
They will not tread on me
Now I will show them
