This song is an old trotter in Villrot. I started singing it around twenty years ago, Hans used to sing it back in the days of Tabula Rasa, thirty years ago. It is about the infatuation part of love..
This short version was recorded on the 25th of June, a beautiful, sunny day. Hope you enjoy! Best wishes from Jorunn & Villrot
