It appears that this song circulated by
samizdat and was played at many
parties
in Sweden before it made it to the
web. It was originally written by the
lebanese
artist
Azar Habib sometime in the
80s, at which a Swede working in Lebanon
brought it back home.

This is my stab at an English translation. I think it reflects
the slight disjointedness of the Swedish lyrics better, and the expletives are
less prettified.
Lalalalalala...
