Jan Johansson - Vem kan segla förutan vind? (Who can sail.. )

"Who can sail where there's no wind" (traditional)

Jan Johansson (1931-1968)piano

Claes Rosendahl afl, Sven Berger fl, Rune Gustavsson el.gt, Arne Willhelmsson bs

Painting: "Nacken and Aegir's daughters"
by Nils Blommér (1816-1853)

the song goes..

Who can sail when there is no wind,
With no oars to be rowing?
Who can sail far away from friends
With no tears a-flowing?

I can sail when there is not wind,
With no oars to be rowing.
But I can't sail far away from friends,
With no tears a-flowing!

I thank the musicians! and hope nobody will mind :)

@xAmandine It's a third about a swan.

The swan can sail without the wind, it can row without oars... ;)

Very few musicians can touch me like Jan Johansson.

@Larosa97 These are the correct lyrics:

Vem kan segla förutan vind

Vem kan ro utan åror

Vem kan skiljas från vännen sin

Utan att fälla tårar

Jag kan segla förutan vind

Jag kan ro utan åror

Men ej skiljas från vännen sin

Utan att fälla tårar

In its original swedish. Pretty close though =)

[Freawulf]

The talent of Jan was indescribable... sublime... He would be proud of his sons carrying on his flame...

[fantadigkvinna]

@AtrumMixer nope, sweden. (Åland)

[martsupilami]

Sången är ursprungligen från Åland, that is it is an swedish song from Finland. Very beutifully played by Jan johansson

[sailorvenusrockshard]

I learned it like this: who can sail when the winds won't blow? Parts are needed for rowing. Who can part when ones hearts aglow. Part when your tears are flowing. I can sail when the winds won't blow. I am needed for rowing I can't part when my hearts aglow. Part when my tears are flowing.

[AtrumMixer]

And I think the song is originally Finnish.
