This one of my absolute favourite swedish ballads.
För kärlekens skull – For the Sake of Love Utanför fönstret slår våren ut………Outside the window spring has come Marken blir grön igen…………....…….The ground is green again Allt som var dött, väcks till liv,……..All that was dead, comes alive det kan också vi…………………......….So do you and I. Mm..Så länge vi andas…………....….Mmh…As long as we breath. Ute till havs styr en fiskebåt……..….Out at the sea a fishing-boat sails. Längs en fri horisont…………….....….Along a new horizon Den gungar så tryggt in mot hamn...It makes for safety in port som jag i din famn…………………........As I do in your arms Mm.. Så länge vi älskar…………....…..Mmh… As long as we’re lovers Det är för oss solen går opp……………..…..It is for us that the Sun do rise Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull………..Shining like gold, for the love we hold Solen går upp, så oskuldsfull…………...……The sun do rise, so innocently Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull………...……Shines upon us for the love we hold Högt på ett berg står en katedral,…………..Up on a mountain there is a church och pekar upp mot skyn……………….....……..Reaching for the sky. Men det är för himlen i dig,………………....….But it is for the heaven in you, och jorden i mig…………………...……………and the Earth in me. Mm.. Vi älskar varandra……………………..Mmh - We love each other Det är för oss solen går opp………………...It is for us that the Sun do rise Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull………...Shining like gold, for the love we hold Solen går upp, så oskuldsfull……………….The Sun do rise, so innocently Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull…………….Shines upon us for the love we hold Mmmm... Mmh - Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull………...Shining like gold for the love we hold Lyser på oss, för kärlekens skull……………Shines upon us for the love we hold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCM-8VE_3Do Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 10-08-2009 at 03:38 PM. |

This is another of my favourite Swedish ballads.
Himlen är oskyldigt blå,..............................The Sky is innocent and blue som ögon när barnen är små.......................As kid’s eyes when they’re - two Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör..........Raindrops are falling like your tears do rår inte stjärnorna för..................................The stars cannot affect this you know Älskling jag vet hur det känns,.....................Darling, I know how it feels när broar till tryggheten bränns.....................When bridges to safety do burn. Fast tiden har jagat oss in I en vrå,..............Though time has chased us into a nook är himlen så oskyldigt blå...........................The sky still is innocent and blue. När vi växte upp, lekte livet,.........................When we grew up – life was just a game vi var evighetens hopp.................................We are eternity’s hope Det var helt självklart att vår.........................It was evidently dear that framtid skulle bli,........................................our future would be oförbrukat fri............................................... untarnished and free Somrar svepte fram,....................................Summers went by jorden värmde våra fötter där vi sprang...........the earth was hot beneath our feet as we ran Rågen gungade, och gräset växte grönt.........The rye fields were waving and the .................................................. ................grass was so green Hela livet var så skönt...................................My whole life was so good Himlen är oskyldigt blå,................................The Sky is innocent and blue som ögon när barnen är små.........................As kid’s eyes when they’re - two Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör,............Raindrops are falling like your tears do det rår inte stjärnorna för..............................The stars cannot affect this you know Älskling, jag vet hur det känns,....................Darling, I know how it feels när broar till tryggheten bränns....................When bridges to safety do burn. Fast tiden har jagat oss in I en vrå...............Though time has chased us into a nook är himlen så oskyldigt blå...........................The sky still is innocent and blue. Frusna på en strand,..................................Frozen on a beach Flög vi med drakar medans.........................We played with kites tiden flöt iland............................................W hile time flowed ashore Vi var barn som ingen ondska kunde nå.......We were kids that no evil could reach himlen var så blå........................................The sky was so blue Nu tar molnen mark.......................................Now the clouds reach ground Jag var förblindad av att solen sken så stark.... I was blinded by the sun’s bright light Men mina ögon kommer alltid le mot dig..........But my eyes will always smile towards you Kan det begäras mer av mig...........................Could more be asked of me Himlen är oskyldigt blå,.................................The Sky is innocent and blue djupaste hav likaså.......................................The deepest of oceans are too Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör,............Raindrops are falling like your tears do det rår inte stjärnorna för...............................The stars cannot affect this you know Älskling, jag vet hur det känns,......................Darling, I know how it feels när broar till tryggheten bränns......................When bridges to safety do burn.

Som om vi alltid älskat--------------------As if we’ve always been lovers sen min dagboks första blad------------Since the first word of my writ men att jag får skriva ditt liv--------------And that I might write your life bara tur------------------------------------------It was just luck det var inget val-------------------------------Not a choice och av alla dessa möten-------------------Of all these encounters och allt som borde hänt--------------------And all that should have happened hur sällan är jag orsak----------------------Rarely am I the reason till att livet vänt---------------------------------That life has changed Jag har ingen ödestro----------------------Have no faith in fate den tanken ger ingen ro-------------------This thought gives no peace men vem vänder vindarna-----------------Who turn the winds away vem får mej att gå---------------------------Who asks me to go dit jag aldrig gått-----------------------------Where Ive never gone vem tänder stjärnorna---------------------Who lights the stars som bara jag ser-------------------------Whom only I see i dina ögon ..................................In your eyes vem vänder vindarna.....................Who turn the winds away och för mej dit.............................and takes me where min tanke..................................my thought aldrig nått...................................has never gone Så många år som jag levt--------------------As many years that Ive been alive med den jag ville va'----------------------------As the one I wanted to be så många kvinnor som jag spelat---------As many women as Ive played men aldrig gjort det bra------------------------But never did well måste våga bara vara---------------------------Must dare to just be med minnet av det barn------------------------With the memory of the child som lät livet välja---------------------------------That let life chose and och våga säga: "ja".----------------------------made it able to say: yes. Jag har ingen ödestro----------------------Have no faith in fate den tanken ger ingen ro-------------------This thought gives no peace men vem vänder vindarna-----------------Who turn the winds away vem får mej att gå---------------------------Who asks me to go dit jag aldrig gått-----------------------------Where Ive never gone vem tänder stjärnorna---------------------Who lights the stars som bara jag ser-------------------------Whom only I see i dina ögon ..................................In your eyes vem vänder vindarna.....................Who turn the winds away och för mej dit.............................and takes me where min tanke..................................my thought aldrig nått...................................has never gone Vem tänder stjärnorna---------------Who lights the stars som bara jag ser-----------------------Whom I only see i dina ögon -------------------------------In your eyes vem vänder vindarna------------------Who turn the winds away vem får mej att gå---------------------Who asks me to go dit jag aldrig gått-----------------------Where Ive never gone Vem tänder stjärnorna----------------Who lights the stars som bara jag ser-----------------------Whom I only see i dina ögon -------------------------------In your eyes vem vänder vindarna------------------Who turn the winds away vem får mej att gå----------------------Who asks me to go dit jag aldrig gått------------------------Where Ive never gone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXk_DSztig8 |

What, nine thousand?!
(yes, I know it's belated. I don't care. I used to love that show. ) Anyone who still hasn't seen TV Tropes needs to. Except if you don't need a new site to waste lots of time reading, of course.

(Since always )
Good heavens, I can use a cup of tea. I'm re-reading 'The Dwarves' by Markus Heitz because I borrowed part 2 from the library but I couldn't really remember everything that happened in the first part. *prepares a plate with pepernoten coated in chocolate before getting herself a cup of tea and curling up near the fire with her book*
