Heathen dance (Spoken Swedish Poem with Swedish/English text below)


I know the quality may not be the best, but dear lovely subscribers, friends and viewers, I hope you're all well and happy. It's been a while, I know. I am so sorry. Are you guys shocked to see a video? It's really here, I promise - It's not an illusion. It's been way to long - but now I'm back from outer space - BAM! Here I am and Mr. Micro Phone is back from his holiday so we're back in business and you shall hear more from me, but until a brand new lesson of Swedish comes up (any time now) you will be left with this piece, and I hope you feel its message and before you think within: "Well, doh, I don't even know Swedish!" then let me tell you that below here there's a text in English, sweet, isn't it? This is a bit different from the rest of my videos, I do know that. But at the same time it could be seen as a Swedish lesson for I do speak Swedish. I figured it could be nice to hear how Swedish could be read and delivered, as some of you have asked for stories and music - So, let us try this out! It's time, my friends, for the Heathen Dance (Hedniska Dansen) Below is the beautiful lyrics written by my friend Duarte who was so kind to let me upload this piece on to my channel for you guys. I was nicely asked to translate his heartfelt text and deliver it with my voice - and I felt very happy to work with him to deliver such beautiful message. Duarte has free music available for download, including the original guitar song "Heathen Dance", anyone can contact him if <b>...</b>

Tomas Transtromer, winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature


The Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2011. His books sell thousands of copies in Sweden, and his poetry has been translated into 60 languages. Born in 1931, grew up in Stockholm, but spent many long summers on the island of Runmarö in the nearby archipelago. Swedish nature and landscape have inspired much of his poetry, especially Runmarö, the Baltic coast and the country's lakes and forests. But Tomas Tranströmer is as much a poet of humanity as he is of nature. He worked as a psychologist for most of his life. He has been married for over fifty years to Monica Tranströmer, who became his voice to the world after he suffered a stroke in 1990. Since then he has only published two poetry collections and a short memoir. The stroke deprived him of most of his speech and left him unable to use his right arm. But Tomas Tranströmer is also an accomplished classical pianist. Unable to speak more than a few words, he can still express himself through music, despite only being able to play left-hand piano pieces. Swedish composers have written several left-hand piano pieces especially for him to play. This film by Pamela Robertson-Pearce and Neil Astley combines contemporary footage of Tranströmer, including his piano playing, with archive film and recordings of his readings. In the archive recordings, he reads the poems in Swedish, and the English translations are by Robin Fulton, from the UK edition NEW COLLECTED POEMS (Bloodaxe Books, 1997 <b>...</b>

Susan Boyle - How Great Thou Art


How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish poem written by Carl Gustav Boberg (1859-1940) in Sweden in 1885. The melody is a Swedish folk song. It was translated into English by British missionary Stuart K. Hine, who also added two original verses of his own composition. The inspiration for the poem came when Boberg was walking home from church near Kronobäck, Sweden, and listening to church bells. A sudden awe-inspiring storm gripped Bobergs attention, and then just as suddenly as it had made its violent entrance, it subsided to a peaceful calm which Boberg observed over Mönsterås Bay. According to J. Irving Erickson: Carl Boberg and some friends were returning home to Mönsterås from Kronobäck, where they had participated in an afternoon service. Nature was at its peak that radiant afternoon. Presently a thundercloud appeared on the horizon, and soon sharp lightning flashed across the sky. Strong winds swept over the meadows and billowing fields of grain. The thunder pealed in loud claps. Then rain came in cool fresh showers. In a little while the storm was over, and a rainbow appeared. When Boberg arrived home, he opened the window and saw the bay of Mönsterås like a mirror before him From the woods on the other side of the bay, he heard the song of a thrush. The church bells were tolling in the quiet evening. It was this series of sights, sounds, and experiences that inspired the writing of the song. The poem is a paraphrase of Psalm 8. Stuart K. Hines <b>...</b>

Erik Johan Stagnelius: "Näcken"


A Swedish poem read badly. :D Kvällens guldmoln fästet kransa. Älvorna på ängen dansa, Och den bladbekrönta Näcken Gigan rör i silverbäcken. Liten pilt bland strandens pilar I violens ånga vilar, Klangen hör från källens vatten, Ropar i den stilla natten: "Arma Gubbe, varför spela? Kan det smärtorna fördela? Fritt du skog och mark må liva, Skall Guds barn dock aldrig bliva! Paradisets månskensnätter, Edens blomsterkrönta slätter, Ljusets änglar i det höga - Aldrig skådar dem ditt öga." Tårar Gubbens anlet skölja, Ned han dyker i sin bölja. Gigan tystnar. Aldrig Näcken Spelar mer i silverbäcken.

The laying down of a wreath / kransnedläggning


On the memorial day for the famous Swedish 18th Century poet Carl Michael Bellman. Carl Michael Bellman 1740 - 1795. "Carl Michael Bellman may well be the most original poet in all of Swedish literature. He created a musical-poetic treasure that has become a part of the Swedish cultural heritage, and which has been spreading in ever wider circles. His most famous works, Fredmans Epistles and Fredmans Songs, are completely unique in the annals of Swedish song, and as lyric song-cycles they belong to world literature. But Bellman is more than this. With his multi-faceted work, Bacchi Tempel, his satirical prose texts, letters, some forty religious poems, a dozen dramatic works and more than 1000 poems written to the Royal Family as well as to a circle of friends, his work is among the broadest in 18th-century Swedish poetry. Carl Michael Bellman speaks to people of every culture and of every time, about life, love and death. In our time his lyrics have been translated to about 40 different languages, and he has interpreters and fans everywhere in the world. The Swedish Bellman Society works with sister organizations in a number of countries to further the international exchange between societies that share our common interest." [ Source: bellman.org ]
