Heysátan
Höfðum þau hallí ró
En ég sló
Ég sló tún
Ég hef slegið fjandans nóg
En ég sló
Heysátan
Þá fer að fjúka út
Út í mó.. (ég dró)
Heyvagn á massey ferguson
Því hann gaf undan
Og mér fótur rann... andskotann
Ég varð undan
Og nú hvíli hér
Með beyglað der
Og sáttur halla nú höfði hér

    Ive been trying to learn Icelandic lately, and one thing to keep in mind is because its a different language, many words have the same general meanings but not so much specific meanings. Icelandic doesnt have a heavy list of vulgar words like English. It's basically saying this old farmer was dragging some hay and he slipped, and its like saying Goddamnit, or just damn, or even darnit. Its just a word to describe a general frustration. It doesnt directly translate into fuck, but because so many people in our society use "fuck" so freely and lightly like when you slip and fall, or stub your toe or whatever, in that sense it has a similar use to andskotann in Icelandic.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
