English lyrics
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.
"Bonddräng" can also be translated to "Farm hand", which in my humble opinion would fit better. A "dräng" was basically a man who lived and worked on a farm, often together with several others, and the pay was food and housing (with exceptions). So naturally these men were poor, as the title of the song suggests. The female equivalent of this would be "piga", but they more often helped out with the household chores of the farmers family, rather than the heavy farm work.
It’s about the struggle for those who stayed in Sweden during the hard times when people starved or left to America. About 100 years ago. This is what make me love the spirit of my people that stayed and never gave up. Greetings from Sweden 🙏🇸🇪
One of the most beautiful swedish songs❤️ It’s a song from the swedish movie Emil i Lönneberga from 1971. The story about Emil is written by Astrid Lindgren, one of Swedens most famous authors, and she also wrote the lyrics to this song❤️
Even here in Norway Astrid Lindgren is a «national treasure». We are bottle fed her stories and now we read them for our kids and sing the songs.
Astrid Lindgren also wrote Pippi Longstocking . 💪
Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
One thing that really shows how beloved Astrid Lindgren was to the Swedish people was her funeral. She got more or less a state funeral. Her coffin was escorted to the church by the royal guards. In the church, the royal family attended together with members of the parlament.
The child Emil of the story written by Astrid Lindgren is a very good friend to the hardworking farmhand Alfred who here describes all his toiling life.
The author Astrid L wss well versed in the old-time songs sung by farm maids etc in the 1800ies. She wrote this and hit the feelings of those old songs bang on.
The stories about Emil depicts how a young boy grew up in the country back then.
You could compare that lifestile as an swedish equivalent to the Laura Ingalls stories from the Little House on the Praire.
Alfred ❤
he is singing a song from an astrid lindgren movie, about a poor farmworker, like how he´s life is beeing, hard work all days and after all work he is so tierd and stand in gates of heaven and god let him in because he has seen all hes hard work day in and day out etc
Thank you for your reaction!
This song has a beautiful text. In Astrid Lindgrens funeral another Tommy (Körberg) was singing this song. There where loudspeakers outside the church so all people could follow the funeral. I was there with my kids and we recognaised a white dove fly iver the church round and round over the church the whole funeral. When I hear this song I always thinking of that moment. I know Astrid was there with us.
Love this song with Tommy! 🥰So happy he does traditional Swedish songs also 🤩

A Swedish reactor named GivenToe has uploaded his reaction with english captions during the song. If you want to know what the three different Tommys are singing about.
GivenToe also appeared in Tommys "This is Halloween" song as the guy on the TV with half red face. (they are friends)

The original from the film is legendary with Björn Gustavsson. Tommy makes an epic metal version.
Beautiful song, in his sing song language which I love. Thank you, Tommy, for another lovely song.

I really loved your reaction to ’ The Light ’, thats when I became a Subscriber Suesue and my bearded brother😊😍😘❤️❤️..!!!
His way to sing the lyrics is pure magic!! Please, pretty please read the translation of the lyrics
Here is a link to the original. It is from the film "Emil in Lönneberga" made in 1971. Written by Astrid Lindgren who has written, among other things. Pippi Longstocking. In Sweden, this figure is probably the most popular. ua-cam.com/video/kuIX1grFLpY/v-deo.htmlsi=m3mU-rlZtQhp7OIi
Midsummer foods that are very common and traditional, pickled herring in lots of different variations, Västerbotten Cheese Pie, Gravlax, boiled eggs, meatballs and strawberry cake.
Don't forget the new potatos!
@@ingmariohman8242 Or snaps and beer
Loved this!! 💗 That was a great reaction 2 years ago, and you’ve had a lot of great videos with Tommy since. A lot has changed since then, and some remains the same, your shirt, for instance, dreamer. Have enjoyed the journey with you.
So much has changed huh 🤔?
The song lyrics was written by Astrid Lindgren (author of children's classics like Pippi Longstocking) for the character framhand Alfred in the movie about Emil in Lönneberga. The composer was, recently passed, Georg Riedel, who was an amazing musician and composer.
hey guys....awesome song by Tommy again ...loved how he rolled his tongue when he was singing......it is really hot here 34 c all week....too hot for me.....have heat warning in effect here right now into next week....i'm melting........till Tommys next adventure.....stay safe and cool......X

Fattig bonddräng, I think it can be translated to Poor peasant in english?
From the Emil i Lönneberga movies by Astrid Lindgren (author of Pippi Longstocking).

Farm worker, farm hand.
Glad Midsommar!
Glad midsommar 🌺💐🥀🌺💐

Awesome reaction! This was so interesting... another little something I can add to my playlist. Can you possibly react to Lacuna Coil - In The Mean Time?
I actually met him in a grocery store here in Stockholm :)
Really?! How did you start the conversation?? Please reply!
@@SueSueandthewolfman It was a couple of months ago, during the winter. Me and my wife and my youngest daughter went to the grocery store and while we walked around I saw the back of this big guy walking around with his grocery basket and I thought "this could be Tommy" and when he turned around... it was Tommy! We swedes are reserved and dont like to bother people so at first I didn't do anything, but I told my wife I had to thank him for what he is doing and that we highly appreciate everything he is doing for everyone with his music. So I called him "Hey Tommy!" and he turned to me and I introduced myself, we shook hands and then I thanked him for everything he is doing, my wife gave him compliments as well. He's a very friendly and humble guy, a gentle giant, he thanked us a lot for the support and then he dug deep into his pocket and gave us a few of his Sabaton guitar picks with his signature "Tommy J" printed on them as a token of gratitude. Then we shook hands again and my wife said we're looking forward to next friday, then he laughed and thanked us again for the support. That was it, then he went on to buy his groceries.
I love this 💜
You're right, Suesue! Men look distinguished with gray hair! Women just look old! LOL!!! Tommy in nature is always a good thing! Swedish is such a pretty language. Or is that because it's TOMMY??? LOL! Great weekend to both of you! ❤
True about the grey hair. But on the other hand, women look good with so many different amounts of body fat, while men just look fat.
💜🌷💜
👍😄❤️🎼🎶🏆🔝
Nice reaction. You should try to listen to Tommy and Sungen - Angels Crying.
SueSue did do a reaction to that.

dragspel ä riktigt häftigt
Good reaction but always so low sound. When I listen, I have to turn the volume up to max to hear what you are saying. It's just like that on your channel.
This is about the Christian (lutheran) notion that you should work hard all your life, stay at your "station" in life, and not expect any rewards in life. Your reward for all your work, your blood, sweat and tears will be given to you in heaven. Don't try to climb the social ladder and become someone, if you're a poor farmhand it's because god wants it that way.
Alfred, the farmhand who sing this song in the movie, is one of the lucky ones, he has a great employer who's fair and wise. Others wan't so lucky and was really mistreated and used.
can u listen again?
