Re: Svealand // WV 112 // Anders Eljas // Mio Overture //

The entry for WV 112 is full of childhood nostalgia for me. It's the opening intro music to one of my favorite films growing up, Mio in the Land of Faraway (Mio min Mio), based on the beloved book by the legendary Astrid Lindgren.

"Mio Overture" - Anders Eljas

Re: Svealand // WV 114 // Kjell Hansson // Höstvisa // lyrics translation

Here's the entry for WV 114 along with lyrics translation by me. This song has been recorded by many over the years, but this has always been my favorite version since I was a kid, as I feel it perfectly captures the melancholic atmosphere and the sense of longing in the song. Tove Jansson, the legendary Finnish author of the Moomin books, wrote the lyrics to this wonderful tune, but since she was from the Swedish speaking minority in Finland, the song was thus originally written in Swedish. :)

"Höstvisa" - Kjell Hansson

HÖSTVISA
Vägen hem var mycket lång och ingen har jag mött
Nu blir kvällarna kyliga och sena
Kom trösta mig en smula för nu är jag ganska trött
Och med ens så förfärligt allena
Jag märkte aldrig förut att mörkret är så stort
Går och tänker på allt det där man borde
Det är så mycket saker jag skulle sagt och gjort
Och det är så väldigt lite jag gjorde

Skynda dig älskade, skynda att älska
Dagarna mörknar minut för minut
Tänd våra ljus, det är nära till natten
Snart är den blommande sommaren slut

Jag letar efter nånting som vi kanske glömde bort
Och som du kunde hjälpa mig att finna
En sommar går förbi, den är alltid lika kort
Den är drömmen om allt man kunnat vinna
Du kommer kanske nångång förr’n skymningen blir blå
Innan ängarna blir torra och tomma
Kanske hittar vi varann, kanske hittar vi då på
Något sätt att få allting att blomma

Skynda dig älskade, skynda att älska
Dagarna mörknar minut för minut
Tänd våra ljus, det är nära till natten
Snart är den blommande sommaren slut

Nu blåser storm därute och stänger sommarns dörr
Det är för sent för att undra och leta
Jag älskar kanske mindre nu än vad jag gjorde förr
Men mer än du nånsin får veta
Nu ser vi alla fyrar kring höstens långa kust
Och hör vågorna villsamma vandra
En enda sak är viktig och det är hjärtats lust
Och att få vara samman med varandra

Skynda dig älskade, skynda att älska
Dagarna mörknar minut för minut
Tänd våra ljus, det är nära till natten
Snart är den blommande sommaren slut
AUTUMN SONG
The journey home was very long and no one have I met
Now the evenings grow chilly and late
Come comfort me a little, for I am quite tired now
And suddenly so dreadfully alone
I never noticed before that the darkness is so vast
Thinking of all the things one ought to
There are so many things that I should have said and done
And there is so very little I did

Hurry my beloved, hurry to love
The days grow darker by the minute
Light our candles, the night is near
Soon the blossoming summer is gone

I'm searching for something that maybe we forgot
And that you could help me to find
A summer goes by, it is always just as short
It is the dream of all that one could win
Perhaps you'll come some time before twilight turns blue
Before the meadows grow dry and empty
Perhaps we'll find each other, perhaps we'll find a way
How to make everything blossom

Hurry my beloved, hurry to love
The days grow darker by the minute
Light our candles, the night is near
Soon the blossoming summer is gone

A storm is blowing out there and shutting summer's door
It is too late to wonder and search
Perhaps I love a bit less than what I did before
But more than you will ever know
Now we see all the beacons 'round autumn's long coast
And hear the waves aimlessly wander
Only one thing is important and it's the heart's desire
And to be with each other together

Hurry my beloved, hurry to love
The days grow darker by the minute
Light our candles, the night is near
Soon the blossoming summer is gone

Re: Svealand // WV 116 // Eva Dahlgren // Vem Tänder Stjärnorna //

I still can't believe I actually won! Thank you once again to everyone who made it happen. xlove xhug xheat

For my own hosting edition, I felt it was the perfect time to send a true Swedish classic, one that's been on my song list of potential entries since the early days of WV.

"Vem Tänder Stjärnorna" - Eva Dahlgren

xlove

Here's the entry for WV 117! xheart Lyrics translation by me.

"Kom Änglar" - Sofia Karlsson

KOM ÄNGLAR
Den vackraste stunden i livet
Var den när du kom
Och allt var förbjudet
Och allt som vi gjorde den dagen
Vill jag göra om
För det ekar i huvudet

Det blod som jag trodde var stilla
Det fick du att rinna
Den uppgivna rösten jag brukat så illa
Fick du att försvinna

Kom änglar, kom älvor
Det börjar bli kallt
Och graderna sjunker så fort överallt
Det hjärta som skulle bli ditt på något vis
Det fryser nu sakta till is

Du somnade den natten så vaken
Och drömde om allt
Som vi kunde göra
Och om någon som vill ge dig värme
När allting blir kallt
Om någon att beröra

Och jag kunde gjort vad som helst
För att höra den tanken
Men själv låg jag tyst i min säng
Så frälst av den farliga branten
Jag liksom föll över kanten

Så kom änglar, kom älvor
Det börjar bli kallt
Och graderna sjunker så fort överallt
Det hjärta som skulle bli ditt på något vis
Det fryser nu sakta till is

Så den jävligaste stunden i livet
Var den när du gick
Och allt var förlorat
Och jag satt där med grönbruna ögon
Med blåögd blick
Och allt jag förstorat

Så kom änglar och ta mig till honom
Och ge mig en chans
För jag tror att snart brinner ett annat hjärta
För honom någon annanstans

Så kom änglar, kom älvor
Det börjar bli kallt
Och graderna sjunker så fort överallt
Det hjärta som skulle bli ditt på något vis
Det fryser nu sakta till is

Den vackraste stunden i livet var den när du kom
COME ANGELS
The most beautiful moment in life
Was that when you came
And all was forbidden
And all that we did that day
I want to do again
For it echoes in my head

The blood that I thought was still
You made it rush again
The desperate voice I've misused so badly
You made it disappear

Come angels, come fairies
It's starting to get cold
The temperature's falling so fast everywhere
The heart that was meant to be yours somehow
It freezes now slowly to ice

You fell asleep that night so awake
And dreamt of it all
That we could do
And of someone to give you warmth
When everything gets cold
Of someone to touch

And I could have done anything
To get to hear that thought
But instead I lay quietly in bed
So allured by the dangerous brink
I kind of fell over the edge

So come angels, come fairies
It's starting to get cold
The temperature's falling so fast everywhere
The heart that was meant to be yours somehow
It freezes now slowly to ice

So the most dreadful moment in life
Was that when you went
And all that was lost
And I sat there with hazel eyes
With a starry-eyed gaze
And all I overplayed

So come angels and take me to him
And give me a chance
For I think that soon another heart is burning
For him someplace else

So come angels, come fairies
It's starting to get cold
The temperature's falling so fast everywhere
The heart that was meant to be yours somehow
It freezes now slowly to ice

The most beautiful moment in life was that when you came

The PQ entry for WV 120 is a dear song to me, full of childhood nostalgia, from the marvellous Ronja Rövardotter film, based on the epic story by Sweden's own national treasure Astrid Lindgren.

"Vargsången" - Lena Nyman

:love::love::love:

I didn't know you chose this. I love it so much! xlove (I was banned :mrgreen:) I even had it in my NSC list. xbow
Oh nice! :D xlove A shame you weren't there to support it, then. :(

And who would have said a time ago that the two of us would fight twice for victory against each other in less than 4 editions. :lol: :lol:
Crazy how that worked out! :lol: I won with a very small points margin over you, and you won with a very small points margin over me. I never would have believed it even 5 months ago. xheat
