One of his bartender jobs was at the Swedish Glee Club. We would go to visit him at the bar once in a while. Some of the older guys that were fixtures at the bar taught my brother and me "the song". Apparently, if you didn't know "the song" you just couldn't really be a Swedish American. It was a simple and repetitive song and I'm not sure what the actual title was. I also never had any idea what it meant. I know now that it means something like, "Swallow the first drink of Akavit down. It was a drinking song, and Akavit (aqua vitae - the water of life) is a Scandinavian spirit and it is customary to drink shots in rapid succession, referred to as "drinking snaps". The song is sung at the beginning of a dinner, a round of shots, or just for hell of it. Let the swallowing of Akavit begin!<br /><br />Helan går<br />Sjung hopp faderallan lallan lej<br />Helan går<br />Sjung hopp faderallan lej<br />Och den som inte helan tar *)<br />Han heller inte halvan får<br />Helan går<br />(Drink)<br />Sjung hopp faderallan lej<br /><br />Gary Turk<br />Born in Waukegan in 1953 - now in ColoradoAlways Changinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916863768688734176noreply@blogger.com
