" I gave Mrs. Hedberg the necklace." "She told me how happy she was." " Glad she is well!" "And I am free to go?" " A moment." "Andersson!" "We must get transport for the kid to Vasterhaga." "Don't let them take me away!" "I want to be with you!" " Kids like you shouldn't be loafing." " Only till I find somebody who wants me." "If there are anyone in the world who will keep me." "I have opened sixteen gates on my path of life." "I counted all." " There are many gates on this path." " How do you know?" "Walked it already?" "Many times." "Here comes Nilsson from Rocky Farm." "A rich farmer - with a big farm." "What a polite little gate opener." "And there is Oscar too." "So you are back in these parts?" "Will you join me for some food at my place?" "What do you say, Rasmus?" "Of course!" "He must be the smallest tramp to have sat in my kitchen." "Will you get the malt beer, Lise?" " You don't like it at Vasterhaga?" " I don't want to be there." "Nope, and now he is out looking for a mom and dad." "We have been thinking of getting a foster child, but never got around to it." "No, we but never got around to it." " You want a girl of course?" " No, a boy." "We have nobody to leave the farm to and no kids of our own..." "Yes... we were thinking of getting a boy." " With curly hair..." " Yes in fact." "How did you know?" "To think of it I always imagined him with curly hair." "But I guess we could go for a boy with different hair too." "If I were you I'd go for the King of Giants with unruly hair!" " Would you like that, Rasmus?" " Stay here a while and we'll see how we get along." "This is a nice farm, Rasmus." " You'll be fine here." " Yeah." "But there is no cat here like the fortune ticket said it would be." "You can't get all you want in life, you know." "I guess I have to say goodbye." "I'll sleep in the barn and will be on my way early in the morning" "Thanks for letting me join you loafing, Oscar." "What a nice little ruffian you are with your unruly and scruffy hair." " Good night, King of Giants!" " Good night." "(knocks)" "Come in." " Good morning, Rasmus." " Good morning." "Have you slept well?" "Have a seat." "Eat all you want." "Here is sausage, eggs, porridge and bread." "Is there anything wrong?" " What?" " I'd rather be with Oscar." "I see." "Why would you rather be with him?" "I've gotten used to Oscar." "I'd rather be with him." "Don't be sad." "We'll see if there is another boy at Vasterhaga for us." "Take Gunnar!" "He's best." "He's got wiry hair, but otherwise he's great." "I guess we'll have to take a trip to have a look at him." "Pick him." "He's good!" "He's the best!" "Oscar!" "Oscar!" "Rasmus!" "Rasmus!" "Rasmus!" "Oscar must have left, you see." "If you hurry down the hill you may catch him." "Bye." "Down pick a girl with curly hair!" "Pick Gunnar!" "He's the best!" "Gunnar!" "Oskar!" "Oskar!" "Hi!" "What now?" "Where are you heading?" "I want to be with you, Oscar." "Please let me be with you." "So you want to let go of a farm with horses and cows - the whole lot?" "But Oscar, why can't you be my dad?" "You can't have a tramp as father." "I can, if he's like you." "You want someone rich and handsome." " I think you're quite handsome." " Oh yes... handsome as a bride!" "I don't care if you're not rich." "I want to stay with you, Oscar." "(laughs)" "(sings)" " A fat boy called little Phil" " He was carrying some hay" " But Phil soon lost his will" " He had worked half the day" " Poor kid who is carrying hay" " You are far too slow today" " Said the mother to fat Phil" " Who was carrying some hay" "Know what?" "When you are on the loaf you own everything you see." "You have traded nothing." "Everything is ours!" "Wanting to go strolling is no mystery then." " The houses aren't ours?" " We can't care about that." "You have to have some house." "One like that one." "I decide that that house is for us." "And let's decide that cat is for me - like in the fortune ticket!" "Shall we sing here?" "No." "We'll sing as little as possible... right now." " But here tramps can both eat and sleep." " Perhaps..." "Martina..." "Martina!" "Darling..." "So you finally show up?" "Who have you brought along?" "I had a son since last time." "He's so small you barely notice him." "Rasmus is the name." "How have you been while I was away, little Martina?" "What du you think?" "The gate is falling off, the lid for the well is broken  the rain is getting into the chamber, but apart from that all is well." " Are you very mad with me, Martina?" " Yes I am." "But oh so glad I am to have you back!" " Oscar!" " Martina darling!" "You're right little sweetheart aren't you!" "He's a strange one, he is." "He'd rather have a tramp for father than Nilsson at Rocky Farm." "This was a bit sudden." "But that's how it is with everything you do." " Do you want to stay here with us?" " Does Martina want a boy with unruly hair?" "One with unruly and scruffy hair or none at all!" "When you're not mad you're an angel, Martina." " Martina..." "Are they all mine?" " Yes." " Don't you want any of them?" " No, I only want you." "What luck I've had." "Just like in the fortune ticket." "Now it's working time!" "The gate, the well, the roof..." "Do you love me, Martina?" "Yes, that's what I thought." "What a douche." "A lazybones, that's what he is." "Not always." "Sometimes he works like a madman, he told me himself." " He sure knows how to talk." " Yes, and I hear real well too." "Do you love me Martine, now that I fix your roof?" "Tell me!" "Yes!" "But I'm praying God to replace your tramp blood with some crofter blood!" "But Oscar is God's own cuckoo and can't be a farmer all the time." " I guess not." " Exactly." "And still he struggles for his wife and his little boy." "Wow, that was hard work." "A real exertion." "Well, better take it a bit easy in the start." "Let's go down to the lake and cool down a bit." "Come on, King of Giants!" "What hard work!" "Oscar, you must go to Rocky Farm tomorrow and drive some hay." "Didn't Nilsson tell you?" " Well, well." "You have to struggle." "But one day at the time." "But next spring, Rasmus, we'll take another trip, you and I." "(sings) Watch the tramp strolling down the road Watch the tramp, God?" "s little guy" "As soon as spring has come He has to pack and say goodbye" "Why do I have to keep on going?" "There are other things I could try" "So why do I keep on tracking Maybe I'll end up in Shanghai" "I want to be free as a bird Free as a bird" "And then I feel something calling me Deep in my vagabond soul" "I want to be free as a bird Free as a bird" "And then I feel something calling me Deep in my vagabond soul" "Watch the tramp strolling down the road Watch the tramp, God?" "s little guy" "As soon as spring has come He has to pack and say goodbye" "He keeps walking that endless length He has a burning and restless soul" "When the sun burns he gets mad And that's where he gets his strength" "He wants to be free as a bird Free as a bird" "And then he feels something calling him Deep in his vagabond soul" "He wants to be free as a bird Free as a bird" "And then he feels something calling him Deep in his vagabond soul"
