Oleana versuri

Versuri Theodore Bikel & Geula Gill – Oleana lyrics

[Chorus:]
Ole, Oleana, Ole, Oleana,
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleana.

Oh, to be in Oleana!
That’s where I’d like to be,
Than be bound in Norway,
And drag the chains of slavery.

[Chorus:]
Ole, Oleana, Ole, Oleana,
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleana.

In Oleana land is free,
The wheat and corn just plant themselves,
Then we grow four feet a day,
While on your bed you rest yourself.

[Chorus:]
Ole, Oleana, Ole, Oleana,
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleana.

Beer is sweet as Muenster,
Springs from the ground and flows away,
The cows all like to milk themsleves,
The hens lay eggs ten times a day.

[Chorus:]
Ole, Oleana, Ole, Oleana,
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleana.

Little roasted pig is there,
Rush about the city streets,
Inquiring so politely
If a slice of ham you’d like to eat.

[Chorus:]
Ole, Oleana, Ole, Oleana,
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleana.

If you really want to live
To Oleana you must go,
The food is fresh in Norway,
Becomes like a king in a year or so.

[Chorus:]
Ole, Oleana, Ole, Oleana,
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleana.

The women there do all the work
As round the fields they swiftly go,
They carry around the hickory stick
And beat themselves if they work too slow!
Ah ah ah ah ah oh ah ah…

[Chorus:]
Ole, Oleana, Ole, Oleana,
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Oleana.
