An English translation of En Herre I Frack, a swedish hit from 1935 originally written by Johnny Bode and Hasse Ekman. 
Translated lyrics and song sung by me.

Life is so exhilarating, and so much more intoxicating
But thats if; one lives it right!
Leave all of those measly things,
the petty things, give it a shot
and seamless.. Your life will get

In twilight time you dress yourself
In lots of style, and better yet..
Don't lose that smile!

Recalling all those precious moments
Of every bride I've ever kissed..
Never a digression,
They'd never pass me by..
For I was a gent in white tie!

One eve' when I was masquerading,
A dainty gal' came up and said..
May I have this dance please?
Never did it fail,
When I wore my white tie & tails!

Oh the hearts that I have stolen,
The girls who bore my rose..
Such is my life idea!
I've never met denial
cause' of my pagan charms
Tireless tries
Those crown-jewel eyes
Are all I'm asking for..

If I should ever lose my riches
Aught possession that may be..
All I care to own is,
While strutting through my life..
My full suit of hat & white tie!

Yes I have lost my dimes and nickels..
And all my jewels are in hock..
But those things do not matter,
cause when the doors are locked..
Undressing my evening frock!
