I am brand new here and barely know a lick of Swedish. This forum seems to be one of the only ones relaxed enough to help me (I mean you even have a music thread!)
I have loved Swedish language pop and rock music for some time (Dungen, as of late) and there is a song that I have fallen in love with. The band Björns Vänner from Malmö have done a cover of Weezer's "Across the Sea" in their native tongue and I desperately want to have the words to see in Swedish. I have found the song available to stream online: http://www.klicktrack.com/klicktrack/releases/bjorns-vanner/ staffanstorp/1 My one wish is that someone could transcribe the words for me to keep!! I just hope this isn't against any rules, I read all I could on the forum to see if this type of request is generally shunned - but everyone seemed pretty awesome. Tack så mycket! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

here's one of my classical favorites :
Folque - Harpa Lyrics : Harpa det bodde en binde ved en strand, harpa toner var og fin. to fagre døtre hadde han fa la la la la la la la la la den eldste til den yagre sa: harpa toner var og fin. la oss net til elven dra. fa la la la la la la la la la den yagste gikk føre som ea sol harpa toner var og fin. den elkste etter som orm i jord. fa la la la la la la la la la den yagste satte seg på en stein harpa toner var og fin. den eldste dyttet, hun var ikke sein. fa la la la la la la la la la hun strakte ut sin hvite hand, harpa toner var og fin. og ropte søster hjelp meg iland. fa la la la la la la la la la hvis jeg ikke hjelper deg, harpa toner var og fin. så vil din kjæreste ekte meg. fa la la la la la la la la la det var to gjetere på den strand harpa toner var og fin. og de så liket som fløt i land. fa la la la la la la la la la de tok fra hennes kropp et ben, harpa toner var og fin. og lagde av det en harpe ven. fa la la la la la la la la la de tok to lokker av hennes hår harpa toner var og fin. og harpa gyklne strenger får. fa la la la la la la la la la til søsterens bypllup ble harpa bragt harpa toner var og fin. og på en strubbe der ble den lagt. fa la la la la la la la la la det var senere på denne kveld harpa toner var og fin. at harpa splite av sev selv. fa la la la la la la la la la de den første strengen lød, harpa toner var og fin. den fortalte om brunden onde dåd. fa la la la la la la la la la de den andre strengen slo, harpa toner var og fin. bruden som forsenet sto. fa la la la la la la la la la 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ja! Folque har jag lyssnat mycket på, och det finns fler låtar med dem på Youtube.

Det är min dag idag, eftersom jag upptäckte tre älvorna som kallar sig "Ulvens Döttrar".
Bön för Östersjön: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu674lkDSfk Det var kärlek vid första ackordet. Jag köpte deras CD "Värm ditt blod" på Amazon just nu. Kan någon förklara skillnaden mellan en ulv och en varg? Båda översättas som "wolf". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ulv och varg är samma sak. "ulv" låter något ålderdomligt och otäckare (som till exempel "Fenrisulven"). Inom
fantasylitteratur använder man ibland ordet "ulv" för att beteckna en varelse som är som en varg fast större och farligare. Du kan översätta "ulv" som "warg" på engelska, det har ungefär samma konnotationer. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for sorting this out. I'm going to write this post in English, otherwise it will take me all night. Well, as it seems, the latest CD that the "Daughters of the Wolf" released in 2009 isn't available at retail. Shame on this "music" industry that produces tons of primitive junk to rip off 13-year-olds and those who never make it beyond that point, and ignores really talented and well-educated musicians. So you have to order this CD, which also contains "Bön för Östersjön", at their website:
http://www.ulvensdottrar.ax/ One of the three sisters, Isabella, has a blog (http://isabellasvardagsvisor.blogspot.com/), where I found the lyrics of Bön för Östersjön ----- Det finns en droppe, blå och klar i varje hjärta Den glömdes kvar av havet när det födde oss till liv på land Så vet vi när vi lyssnar förbi orden, genom bruset: sjökalvarnas blommiga dans, sandmusslornas stillsamma glans Att blåstången är ett vaggande bo för alla de mjukskinnade små och sjöstjärnorna lyser ett annat ljus i djupet där torsken krusar bottnen med sitt skägg Att havet är i oss och vi ur havet Står vi på stranden och längtar efter enkelt mod och möten? Stort flödar ljuset över sund och flador, och havet slutar inte svara oss: Att havet är i oss och vi ur havet (Carina Karlsson) Here is my attempt of a translation. The middle part is a sequence of clauses that all refer back to the last line of the first part. It looks a bit weird in English, but maybe I just got something wrong: Prayer to the Baltic Sea ----- There is a drop, blue and clear, in every heart, Which is a relict from the sea, When it bore us to live at land, So we know/recognise, when we listen beyond words, through the noise: Some jellyfish's flowery danse, Some sandshells' silent splendor, That blue seaweed is rocks being alive, Since all the soft-skinned small beings (?) and starfish(s) give off A different light in the depths, Where the cod crawls at the ground with its beard, That the sea is in us and we are from the sea. Are we standing on the beach and yearn for simple courage and an encounter? Strongly flows the light over straits and lagoons And the sea doesn't stop replying to us: That the sea is in us and we are from the sea. One more thing, now that I'm at it. One of the sisters, Johanna Grüssner, recorded a jazz album with the pianist Mika Pohjola, which is called "Nu blir sommar". The cover looks horrible, but the content is amazing. The songs are mainly traditional Swedish tunes with a jazz piano accompaniment. The only exception is a Swedish version of the well-known ballad "What are you going to do the rest of your life". This CD is amazing. The song "Den blomstertid nu kommer" is an a-capella arrangement with four overdubbed voices in a kind of jazzy counterpoint. I've never heard anything like that before. Johanna's voice is crystal-clear, which is another reason to get if you're learning Swedish. Man, what a discovery! I still feel like in fairyland. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Good translation. However: "blåstång" does not derive its name from "blå", but rather from "blåsa" (blister),
because of its appearence. It's actually quite green. "Den blomstertid nu kommer" is sung at the last day of school before summer in just about every public school in Sweden, performed by a choir of schoolchildren. It's a pretty pretty song. If you like acapella and Swedish, I trust you've heard The Real Group (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=VUe1boOWeHo)? If not, you're in for a treat. They do a lot of songs in English, but many in Swedish, too. For some reason their maybe most famous song "Alla talar med varandra" is not on YouTube, but a lot of other good stuff (like the great "Den makalösa manicken") is. EDIT: Checking out their other videos, be sure not to miss this impromptu performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=XcRlBQF2AYc). It's pretty impressive. Seems they're popular in Korea? EDIT: Having trouble getting the links to work. Edited by Ari on 14 February 2010 at 10:20pm 3 persons have voted this message useful |
