Can anyone translate this to English please??

Rough translation:

Nationalteatern (The National Theater) - Kolla kolla (Lookie lookie)

If you're born amongst prolataerinas and deal with narcotics and if you've already been punished once then it's easy to get caught now and then

I want to feel Free, free, free It's my philosophy, phy, phy (NOTE: This rhymes in swedish <.<) Lookie, lookie, can't you see I'm a nice guy Even if I'm in jail today you'll have to agree that that's not where I wanted to go. NO!

I'll get a job, first chance I get. Leather armchair and my own phone. When I get out of here, silly me, was thinking that I was strong, but I ended up in a park and made my living from selling ... (NOTE: Here you're supposed to realise that they mean "selling drugs" because it rhymes in swedish (park, knark))

(NOTE: Most of the chorus is gibberish and doesn't mean anything) Hadelätten da da umpapa one musn't do (that) not good hadelätten da da umpapa That's what I said that wasn't good umpapa

What an idiocy, cy, cy to sell a load, load, load Lookie, lookie I have myself to blame even if i don't like the locale that much you'll have to agree that it serves a purpose The warden makes an exampel breaks a guy put a label on him. So when I get out of here my heart aches like a dagger thrusting into it when you meet some people and fiddle about with a real ......... (NOTE: I have no idea what they mean here)

Hadelätten da da ...

But if you're honest instead and keep working in the thief's society and if you're miserly enough you'll become a millionare in due time provided that ...

You get out of here at all Just take a loan from the bank Move to Skanör, make your living as a factory director and live until you ... (NOTE: Here they mean "leva tills man dör", which means "live until you die")

Okay, okay, kay, kay Take a look at me, me, me Lookie, lookie, I'm already labeled for the rest of my life Even if I might be set free someday you'll have to agree that it's not overreacting. Easy to be dilligent, hard-working and decent I might as well drive straight into the creek So when I get out of here in a stolen Amazon (NOTE: a type of Volvo car) I'll spend the first day barging into the city and let loose like ... (NOTE: Let loose like hell)

Hadelättan da da ...

END

There ya go. Basically it's a song about getting in jail and then being marked for life even after you did you time. You get out in society again but for all people care you're still a criminal.

Good translation

Mecka sig en redig means = to roll a fat joint.

Improved translation into English: (less literal, Swedish rhymes spelled out, localized ("south-parkalized") nonsense chorus)

When you're born into the working class And you do a couple of drug deals And you already have a previous conviction Of course you'll get caught Now and then

I want to feel free, free, free That's my philosophy, phy, phy Check it out, I'm a decent guy Even though I might be in prison today You'll have to agree that That's not what I intended

No, I'll take the first job I can get With a leather recliner and a phone line of my own As soon as I get out of here Or so I thought, I'm such an idiot I thought I was strong ("stark") But I ended up in a park ("park") Getting by by selling..... [drugs] ("knark")

Derp de derp de diddly Oompa pa It's not allowed! No good! Derp de derp de diddly Oompa pa That's what I said It's no good!

[spliff] ("holk")

Derp de derp de diddly Oompa pa ...

But if you choose the straight and narrow And work hard in this society of criminals As long as you're cheap and thrifty Some day you'll be a millionaire To the extent You ever get out of here Take a loan at the bank Move to Skanör Struggle to operate a factory ("fabrikör") And live until you.... [die] ("dör")

Okay, kay, kay Take a look at me, me me Check it out, I'm already marked for life Even if I ever get out You'll have to agree It's not too easy being diligent, hard-working and decent I might as well drive straight into the river So when I get out of here In a stolen Amazon I'll spend that first day ("dan") Barging into town ("stan") And party hard as.... [fuck] ("fan")

Derp de derp de diddly Oompa pa ...

LolTheForce: snyggt, fast du behöver komma ut mer om du inte uppfattade holk-rimmet ^_~

Well, here's my translaton I feel a bit cleaner. Not trying to nail the rhymes but rather the english meaning as close to as it was conveyed in Swedish.

Om man är född bland proletärer och gör narkotikaaffärer Om man är redan en gång straffad så är det lätt att man blir haffad... ...Till och från.
