Färjemansleden Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Mynciman 

Cover art for Färjemansleden lyrics by Vapnet

This is a rough translation, in case non-Swedes would like to know what the song is about:

111 the bus is called Because it takes 111 hours To go to town And now with David Next to me We carry some stuff together We wear similar clothes Carry hate and rural shame We hide our smell

Autumn light Casts the bus' shadow Softly down across the water Softly down across the lake And across Färjemansleden[1] We switch forests for parks We switch our friends Until nothing's left Of Valla and Kastal[2]

[1] A street in the small town of Östersund, leading from suburban and rural areas into town. All songs on the album are named from streets of Östersund.

[2] "Valla and Kastal" refers to Vallaskolan and Kastalskolan, the schools that David of the lyrics and Martin Abrahamsson, the writer, went to, respectively, before they moved into town to start highschool.
