Подробнее о видео

Laskiaispulla/Semla is a nordic delicacy with cream, jam or (traditionally) almond paste inside. It is delicious and you always eat too many.

Lyrics (English translation below):

Kävipä taas kerran sillä lailla
Että tuota niin
Laskiainen saapui
Tuoden pullat markettiin

Mutta kunnon pullat kerron teille
Itse paistetaan
Pelti toisen perään uuniin
Ja kohta maistetaan

Naaman suttaan kermaan
Manteliin ja mansikkaan
Pullan toisen perään ahdan
Kohta yrjön aika koittaa taas

LASKIAISPULLA
SEMLA PÅ SVENSKA
VÄLISSÄ KERMA
JUMALTEN RUOKA
LASKIAISPULLA
SEMLA PÅ SVENSKA
KUNINKAAN SURMA
LASKIAISPULLA

Kun ilta koittaa
On meno sakiaa
Vatsaa turvottaa
Koittaa pullaDARRA

Olettekos kuulleet,
Tarinaa kerrotaan
Ruotsin kuninkaasta
Joka meni pullaan kuolemaan
On herkullinen surma
Joka tappoi kuninkaan
Sen ääntä kohden survon
Ja uhmaan kuolemaa

It once happened that actually oh well
Lent arrived bestowing the buns upon us
But the proper bun, I tell you
Is baked by oneself
Yes, baked by the myriad
And soon we indulge
I am bathed in cream
Almond and strawberry
Bun after bun I devour
And soon the time of George is upon us once again

SHROVE BUN
SEMLA IN SWEDISH
IMBUED WITH CREAM
FOOD OF THE DIVINE
SHROVE BUN
SEMLA IN SWEDISH
DEATH OF KINGS
FOOD OF THE DIVINE

When the dusk descends
And insanity wells up within
Our insides about to burst
This is bun HANGOVER

Have you heard
It has been said
That once a king of Sweden
Was by a bun killed
Oh such a delight
This delicious tool of regicide
I will indulge upon it
Defying the shadow of death

SHROVE BUN
SEMLA IN SWEDISH
IMBUED WITH CREAM
FOOD OF THE DIVINE
SHROVE BUN
SEMLA IN SWEDISH
IMBUED WITH CREAM
DEATH OF KINGS
