Gibb,

That is the best solution/suggestion I've seen/heard so far. It even makes sense! :) "The overtime is surely thine" (if that's what they're singing) could be a roundabout way of saying "Your time has come", couldn't it? Also "the churning brine" makes perfect sense to me.

Remember that this will then be converted into Swedish, so a great deal of the original sense will be lost anyway. If noone else comes up with an even better suggestion I'll gladly accept yours. Thank you so much!

Rickard
