Er dette en svensk oversettelse fra italiensk (og originalen) - Ragazzo della via Gluck - sunget av Adriano Celentano??

[ymlai]

Ja.

Sehr ausdrucksvoll gesungen, in der schönen schwedischen Sprache!

Thanks, min vän, and no intent on my part to quarrel over taste. To my ears she sounds somber and reserved, more in keeping with the song even than Anna-Lena (and I love A.-L.s version). “Lyckliga Gatan” is something of a lament, after all.

Cajsa-Stina’s voice isn’t very strong, but many pop singers have limited voices and hide behind loud instruments. Instrumental part here is very modest, and it all sounds almost like a classical “lied” and a piano. I think it is very nice.

@SettembriniUSA Där ser man, jag hade fel angående originalet. Bra att du rättade till det. Men jag hävdar fortfarande att Cajsa-Stinas version är usel. Hon är i mina öron helt enkelt för sval, opersonlig och slätstruken. En smakfråga antar jag.

I think the original music and lyrics are by Adriano Celentano ("Ragazzo della via Gluck").

Anyway, "uselt" is a bit categorical. Better perhaps: different style for different times. This song has also been sung by Francoise Hardy, and of course by Anna-Lena, beautifully and a bit differently by each. Personally, I like the Swedish lyrics better than the Italian or English ones, and Cajsa-Stina's interpretation goes well with the tone of the Swedish lyrics. Wouldn't you agree?

Uselt. Lyssna på originalet "Tar and Cement" med Verdelle Smith. Finns på tuben.

Väldigt medioker sångerska.

[Stensow]

Skulle kunna handla om Götgatan...

The American singer Verdelle Smith's rendition of this beautiful song is "Tar and Cement" from 1966 and is also very heartfelt. Thank you for posting.

I have known this song since Anna-Lena Lövgren sang it in the 60s, and I like the more somber interpretation by CajsaStina Åkerström. The song may have been light environmental nostalgia then, but its verses sound like the Earth's weheklag today:

"... när jag kom åter var allt så förändrat,

trampat och skövlat, fördärvat och skändat."

In any case, I am glad to hear "Lyckliga Gatan" live on through new voices. Thanks, CajsaStina.
