Finn et str, og tr dom p (Passer domesticus)

I doubt any of you will get that title, and it doesn't translate well to English. It's a line from a really sweet song by one of Norway's favourite song writers/singers of the 50's and 60's. It's about picking wild strawberries (and also flirting with fellas) and the line I've quoted is "Find a straw, and thread them on". The rest of the refrain is "One is too young, it/he can wait. One is too old, we'll leave it/him behind. But all the others we'll take home with us and live happily with sugar on." The same refrain for the strawberry verse and the handsome fellas verse ... and now also for birds ;)
