Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins 1989:
Ellen Kristjánsdóttir - "Línudans"
Línudans
Amma átti amerískan tengdason
En hann drakk sig loks í hel
Heillengi hélt hún í þá veiku von
Að hann vildi reynast vel
Hann kom með viský og hann komm með bjór
Hékk yfir glasinu dapur og sljór
Hún sagði á ensku; You drink like a swine
Hann svaraði; Oh no, pretty mama, I'm just walking the line
Maður minn lifnar ekki við
Fyrr en eftir tvo eða þrjá
Ég tel ekki sjússinn lengur oní hann
Því hann lætur engan sjá
Heldur það enn að hann eigi einhvern séns
Í síðbúinn sweet sixteen big romance
Mjög er hann mjúkur í meyjafans
Og mælir; Dans, dans, lífið er línudans
Heldur það enn að hann eigi einhvern séns
Í síðbúinn sweet sixteen big romance
Mjög er hann mjúkur í meyjafans
Og mælir; Dans, dans, lífið er línudans
Línudans…
Við eigum son sem vill komast að
Á karate námskeiði
Læra alla slagsmálaklækina
Sem hann horfir á í sjónvarpi
Hann segir stundum; You drink like a swine
Og ég svara á ensku; Just sippin' my wine
Í huganum ómur af orðum míns manns
Mælir; Dans, dans, lífið er línudans
Línudans…
Heldur það enn að hann eigi einhvern séns
Í síðbúinn sweet sixteen big romance
Mjög er hann mjúkur í meyjafans
Og mælir; Dans, dans, lífið er línudans
Línudаnѕ…
Line Dance
Grandma had an American son-in-law
But he eventually drank himself to death
For a long time, she held onto that faint hope
That he would turn out well
He came with whiskey and he came with beer
He hung over the glass, gloomy and slow
She said in English; You drink like a swine
He replied; Oh no, pretty mama, I'm just walking the line
My man doesn't come alive
Until after two or three
I don't count the shots anymore into him
Because he lets no one see
Does he still think he has a chance
In a late sweet sixteen big romance?
He is very soft in the girl fan's eyes
And says; Dance, dance, life is a line dance
Does he still think he has a chance
In a late sweet sixteen big romance?
He is very soft in the girl fan's eyes
And says; Dance, dance, life is a line dance
Line dance…
We have a son who wants to find out
At a karate course
To learn all the fighting moves
That he watches on television
He sometimes says; You drink like a swine
And I reply in English; Just sippin' my wine
In my mind, the words of my husband echo
He says; Dance, dance, life is a line dance
Line dance…
Does he still think he has a chance
In a late sweet sixteen big romance?
He is very soft in the girl fan's eyes
And says; Dance, dance, life iѕ a line dance
Line dаnce…
