My simple translation of "Glöm mig om du kan" from the Stockholm iteration of the musical Chess. This song is based on the demo "When The Waves Roll Out To Sea" and, to my knowledge, appears only in the Swedish musical.
In the musical, it is sung by Aleksandr Molokov as he tells Anatolij Sergievskij that he, too, knows love and pain. In my opinion, it is one of the best songs in the musical. Not that that's saying anything!
The purpose of this translation is to help English-speaking fans of Chess understand the Swedish lyrics better. As such, it is a literal translation, meaning it often doesn't match the melody nor is idiomatic.
What a heartbreaking, beautiful song. Thank you so much for the translation.
