    This is real music, mate!
    Jag trodde jag äntligen var säker, men serru det var jag inte [the "serru" could also be placed after the "inte"], för just då kom älgen sättandes runt husknuten!
    I thought I was finally safe, but oh no I was not, because right at that moment, the moose came running round the corner of the house!
    Tusen spänn för den där? Jo men visst serru. Vilket jäkla överpris.
    A thousand bucks for that? Yeah, sure ("Yeah but sure you see / mate"). So damn overpriced.
