lyrics by the swede Astrid Gullstrand
vi komma vi komma
fran pepparkakeland
och vagen vi vandrat
tillsammans hand i hand
sa bruna sa bruna
vi aro alla tre
korinter till ogon
och hattarna pa sne'
tre gubbar tre gubbar
fran pepparkakeland
till julen till julen
vi komma hand i hand
men tomten och bocken
vi lamnat vid var spis
de ville inte resa
fran var pepparkakegris
english translation
translated by peter sedin (thanks)
we're coming we're coming
from ginger cookie land
and while we are travelling
we hold each others' hands
our brown tan our brown tan
we've got it, it's new
dark currant stuck into our eyes
our hats on top askew
three old guys three old guys
from ginger cookie land
for christmas for christmas
we're marching hand in hand
but santa and goatie
we had to leave behind
they couldn't just abandon
our ginger cookie swine
chinese translation
三個薑餅人
我們正前來
我們正從薑餅國前來
在途中我們都拖著大家的手
我們的啡膚色
我們的啡膚色是剛得到的是新的
黑提子塞進我們的眼裡
頭頂的帽子是斜斜的
三個人
三個從薑餅國來的人
為了聖誕節
我們為了聖誕節正拖著手踏步前來
但是我們要留下聖誕老人和鹿兒們
他們不捨得遺下我們的薑餅豬
