MATTIAS ENN - SÅNG OM SYRSOR

[laduqesa]

I can no longer find the Swedish lyrics, which I have translated, on the web. I did not retain them on the Word doc. I should've. The translation is below.

[laduqesa]

I can no longer hear the crickets, it is sad

but it's an absence I can overcome.

The crickets' song is not an irreplaceable song

but still, I remember a time.

It was then, it was one spring, I was just seventeen years old

and he was of course my young Casanova.

He spoke of warmth and tenderness, something I have forgotten

but he promised me something.

[laduqesa]

Eternal love, yes I think it was something like that he swore. I was a dragon's prisoner, he was a fairy tale Prince and I woke up simply because of the Prince's kiss. We looked each other in the eye while the crickets sang their serenade, I remember that I was glad but that's almost all I remember. Once it can happen it could happen quite soon technically, this destiny was ours, so we huddled in a crowd in a corner of the earth and someone searches for words.

[laduqesa]

It was at a time that there was a world that was not very important but it was our home and crickets sang in the evening. Spring makes everything verdant and it was quite good - at least in some places. Now the sun has been hidden by the blue rime (frost) of Aniaras and we doubt that good gods exist. But I remember once, the crickets sang their song to those who had ears to hear. Love, faith and hope, was something we discovered but it is almost all I remember

Where can someone find the original  lyrics of this song?

Helt suveränt. En underbar sång som även Lustans Lakejer spelat in.

Jag framförde den själv acapella i samband med en av mina poesiuppläsningar.

Synnerligen övertygande! Rösten är rätt lik och underbar tolkning. Godis för Zarah-fjollor!
