“Jag åkte ner till Stockholm och då fick jag se glänsande Porschar och BMW. Men jag har en kärra som är bättre ändå [or "den då," but probably mis-sung]. Det är en Volvo 142. Och bilen den går utav hel” — I went down to Stockholm and then I saw [got to see] shiny Porsches and BMW. But I have a ride that's better still. It's a Volvo 142. And the car [it – redundant] goes like hell. I blow past every BMW
