Aller største noen noensinne hadde sett
Oystein Sunde
The biggest one anyone had ever seen
It was Svendsen from Mosjøen on a cabin trip by Storsjøen
on pike fishing last year.
In the middle of the lake between Øyen and Seim
he disappeared without a trace.
They found the boat again with fishing rod and dentures
in the net at Funnefoss,
and the sheriff who found him had an expression in his eyes
that scared some and all of us.
Chorus:
It was the biggest pike anyone had ever seen.
It was bigger than the one that chopped up Per Gjerpesett's boat.
It was seven meters long, had an ugly temperament,
and a stomach that was never full.
IT WAS THE BIGGEST PIKE ANYONE HAD EVER SEEN.
Old uncle Tor who turned a hundred last year stood in his woodshed chopping wood. He said: 'She's much bigger this year than she was last spring, but there's no more to fuss about.
Before the war, there were more of them, but they stayed much further north in the lake and not so far south.
I don't mind them once in a while because I've eaten so many pike cakes before.'
Chorus:
IT WAS THE BIGGEST PIKE ANYONE HAD EVER SEEN.
It was bigger than the one that chopped up Per Gjerpesett's boat.
It was seven meters long
and a stomach that was never full.
IT WAS THE BIGGEST PIKE ANYONE HAD EVER SEEN.
