Här är dörren, tryck på knappen!
Här bor Fritiof Andersson.
Tänk från denna lyan ser han
hela Stockholm ovanifrån!
Kära Fritiof, säg hur mår du
och hur trivs du här i stan?
Mår och trivs? jo det förstår du
att jag trivs som själva fan
med två tomma pilsnerflaskor
och en frusen vattenkran.
Is på hela Riddarfjärden!
Is från början och till slut!
Varken färjor eller båtar!
Inga fartyg kan gå ut!
Bara is och gråa kajer
och vid slussen i en vak
simma några frusna änder,
frusen är jag själv, och slak.
Himlen mulnar, luften kulnar,
snön yr vit kring torn och tak.
Ack, min lilla svenska fröken,
Britta hon vid Roslagstull!
Söderns sol och varma vindar
for jag från för hennes skull.
Sicken jänta! Kunde vänta,
tror ni, å i helsicke!
När jag knackade på dörren
kom en karl och öppnade.
Ni ursäktar kanske, sa han,
men vi är förlovade!
Sista brasan i kaminen
skall jag elda med de brev
som hon sände mig till Rio
och de vykort som hon skrev.
Sedan skall jag ta en hyra
till det fjärran Ecuadór,
Där planterar jag bananer
och blir stor Exportadór!
Med en skön och fet kreolska
gifter jag mig, ni förstår!
Där, med kavaljersfasoner
skall jag leva och bli fin!
Stekta sparvar och kalkoner
äter jag och dricker vin.
Stora skutor från Europa
lasta frukt på min plantage.
Med ministrar och konsuler
spelar jag karambolage!
Jag blir konsul, jag blir konsul!
med galoner och plymage!
Evert Taube (Stoccolma, 1890 – Stoccolma, 1976) è stato un cantautore e poeta svedese di fama internazionale. Considerato uno dei più grandi cantautori scandinavi del XX secolo, Taube ha composto centinaia di canzoni, molte delle quali diventate standard del repertorio musicale svedese. Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da melodie malinconiche e testi poetici che spesso trattano temi come l'amore, la nostalgia, la vita in campagna e la tradizione popolare. Taube ha collaborato con numerosi musicisti scandinavi, tra cui il violinista Lars-Erik Larsson e il compositore Hugo Alfvén. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Vals ombord", "I vara hjartan" e "Fritiof and Carmencita". La sua musica ha influenzato generazioni di artisti svedesi e continua ad essere apprezzata in tutto il mondo.
