It's a song from a movie (that was also cut into a TV-series), about a book character called Emil i Lönneberga. It's written by Astrid Lindgren, Sweden's most belowed childen's book author (known for books like Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson on the roof, and many more). It's set in rural Sweden in the 1880s and centers around a little boy (that Astrid based on her own father) who loves doing pranks. His best friend is the farmhand Alfred, and this is his song.
Alfred sings about how he works hard all week, and at the weekend he likes to drink, fight, and sleep with a girl. That the priest wants him to go to church on Sunday, but he prefers to sleep then. The priest can sleep on Monday, but a "fattig bonddräng" (poor farmhand) has to work then. At the end of the song he sings about his life ending, and when he's at the pearly gates he worries that the Lord will punish him for his weekend habits, but then the Lord says that he's seen all his hard work, and he says that now poor farmhand, now you can finally rest. In Swedish is quite beautiful, and it's quite common at funerals, including Astrid Lindgren's own. Then it was sung by another Tommy, Tommy Körberg.
You can check out his version to, if you like "Tommy Körberg - Fattig bonddräng (live på Skansen)"
It's from a New Years celebration, I think, so it's a bit snowy.
Here is the translation into English.
Iam a poor farmworker, but I live anyway.
Days come and go, while I work hard,
harrowing, sowing seeds and plowing, sweeping the barn floor, digging and carrying
walk behind my cattle, screaming, whistling and swearing.
I am a poor farmworker and I chew my tobacco
And when Saturday comes, I want to get drunk.
Then, when I get high-spirited, I want to tussle and fight
Sleep at a girl’s house, that’s what I’d like to do too, of course.
Then,Sunday comes and our priest wants me to go to church, but that is when I sleep the most.
Priests can sleep the whole day on Monday ,but a poor farmworker must start working again.
That’s how the week goes, every day and every year.
I walk with my scythe and I plow and sow seeds
I guide my cattle and pile hay
Harrow, work and slave and one day I shall die.
Stands there, poor farmworker, before Heaven’s gate
A little scared and sorry for the sins I committed.
One shall not drink, be with girls and fight.
The Lord, God in Heaven is quite disappointed, of course.
But then the Lord says: poor farmworker, come here,
I’ve seen your struggle and your persistent hard work,
Therefore, poor farmworker, you are welcome here.
Therefor poor farmworker, you will be near me.
Oh, I, the poor farmworker stand so quiet before God
And then he dresses me with the whitest of all garments.
Now, says the Lord, your work is done.
Now, poor farmworker, you may rest.
It's a song from Astrid Lindgren's films about Emil in Lönneberga.
There’s a translation below in the description👍 great reaction!
Here is the link to the original with clips from the film with Björn Gustavsson singing.It was made in 1971. No, it has nothing to do with Midsummer.
He's a 💎
This has become a modern Swedish folk song that is totally a part of midsummer
Don't know if someone have said it already but the Björn who sang this one in Emil is not the same from Melodifestivalen
3:33 No, it's not that Björn Gustafsson, that you reacted to from Melodifestivalen. It's a bit confusing, but we have two actors/comedians with that name (just a different spelling).
Björn Gustafson, born in 1934, who played Alfred in "Emil i Lönneberga", it was his song in the film
Björn Gustafsson, born in 1986, who has co-hosted Melodifestivalen twice, and whom you've reacted to.
