Svaneke Gold on a Plate

Verse 1

Salt

Grey salt

Curing in the rafters

Down where the harbor water turns to glass

Smoke

Heavy oak

Dripping from the chimney

Silver skins are turning gold

Old

Cold

The cobblestones are slick

Fishing boats are knocking on the wood

Wood

Chorus

Svaneke gold on a plate

Svaneke gold on a plate

Give me that smoke

Give me that salt

Bornholm pride on a plate

Svaneke gold on a plate

Post-Chorus

Gold

Gold

Svaneke gold

Verse 2

Rye

Dark rye

Heavy on the butter

Radish slices biting at my tongue

Sharp

Fresh

Chives are cut like grass

Yellow yolk is leaking on the side

Slide

Wide

The tourist shops are open

Glass is blowing in the heat

Sweet

Meat

Chorus

Svaneke gold on a plate

Svaneke gold on a plate

Give me that smoke

Give me that salt

Bornholm pride on a plate

Svaneke gold on a plate

Post-Chorus

Gold

Gold

Svaneke gold

Bridge

I saw it

I bought it

I ate it

The red brick chimneys are breathing

The Baltic wind is screaming

The herring scales are gleaming

Chorus

Svaneke gold on a plate

Svaneke gold on a plate

Give me that smoke

Give me that salt

Bornholm pride on a plate

Svaneke gold on a plate

Outro

Five chimneys

Five towers

Smoke in the sky

Smoke in the sky

Svaneke

Svaneke

Gold
