Today I made black bean burgers for Caroline, Wesley & I. They were a little spicy, had lots of fresh basil & green onion. After finishing mine I told Caroline that I thought they were too spicy for Wesley (who was still napping), so I thought I'd eat his mini burger for him. Caroline replied, "Why don't you eat them all." Point taken:) -4/6/09

My brother went to Sweden on his mission; I'll send him the link!
Ellen -- good luck.
My mother learned it from her mother, but though she was raised in a home where it was spoken, didn't speak Swedish. By the time I came along, it was pretty garbled, I think. I can get "Vatter, Mutter" but I doubt that the rest is decipherable. In German, "Wehe, weha" (veya, veya at the beginning) would be 'look out, here comes trouble.' That makes sense, at least in German.
Phonetically, I would say it:
"Veya, Veya, shin. Vadder, mudder vil ha pelt, sin-a rayka in ha-telt, tri-ootum, tri-ootum."
Of course none of us could do it like mother.
That was so fun to catch the live version, and it's great to now have the video to remember. I hope someone out there can translate; otherwise, Dad's rough translation sounds good to me!
