Han star pa torget varje dag
En vänlig gammal man
Hans har är lite granat
Under mössans röda band
Med blanka knappor i sin rock
Och bössan i sin hand
Han vet nog ganska väl
Vad vi vill fraga om ibland
Hej gamle man
Kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska ga
För at fa komma dit som vi vill na
Hej gamle man
Kanske är det vi som gör nagot fel ända
Du har ju allt som vi har svart att fa
Han verkar kanske trött ibland
Vem skulle väl ra med
Att lysa upp en väg för nagon
Som aldrig kunnat se
Men trots att han har stott där nu
I alla dessa ar
Sa verkar det pa honom som har kommit dit igar
Hej gamle man
Kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska ga
För at fa komma dit som vi vill na
Hej gamle man
Kanske är det vi som gör nagot fel ända
Du har ju allt som vi har svart att fa
English Translation for Hej Gamle Man
HELLO OLD MAN
(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus/N.Kreysing/J.Ahonen/P.Reynolds)
Translated from the original Swedish 1995
He stands on the market every day
A friendly old man
His hair is just a little grey
Below his hat's red band
With shiny buttons on his coat
And a cash-box in his hand
He seems to know quite well
What we are asking for sometimes
Hello old man
Can you show us the way we have to go?
So we can reach where we're wanting to
Hello old man
Maybe it's folk like us that get things wrong sometimes
You have got all the things we find hard to get
Although he seems quite tired sometimes
Out there, he'll always be
To light a way for someone
Who could not otherwise see
But although he has been standing there
For many years, each day
It seems as if he had just arrived yesterday
Hello old man
Can you show us the way we have to go?
So we can reach where we're wanting to
Hello old man
Maybe it's folk like us that get things wrong sometimes
You have got all the things we find hard to get
