Trying to catch that special mood …
in the moonlight
with cane and faltering steps
cherry blossoms
… for writing poetry …
wondering
around in my own steps
or somebody else’s
… while listening to music …
sårade hjärtan
och flydda själar
byter plats
hurt hearts
and away fled souls
change places
… lots of lost hearts and lost souls in our world … to many indeed …
… with a war going on … mothers, fathers and children are losing their homes and many – far too many – their lives …
neither hurt hearts
should walk soldiers shoes
nor away fled souls
or soldiers
some tomorrow
Now I just have to choose one of the most beautiful songs about – NOT WAR.
Lars Winnerbäck sang when Dalai Lama visited Sweden 2011 and His Holiness personally thanked LW.
I will work more with the translation in English because it’s much more poetic in Swedish. But hopefully it gives an idea about the content.
Ingen Soldat av Lars Winnerbäck 2009 Lyrics; Himlen faller ner, Jag är ingen soldat, Jag har härjat krig i huset, Jag har aldrig stått vid fronten jag är ingen soldat, I rispan från min vrede, Jag är ingen soldat, jag är ingen soldat, |
Ingen Soldat av Lars Winnerbäck 2009 Lyrics; The sky is falling down, I’m not a soldier, I have ravaged war in the house, I have never been at the front I’m not a soldier, In the scratch of my wrath, I’m not a soldier, I’m not a soldier, |
Skrivpuff: Ärligt talat.
Skyller på julen att det blir lite märkliga inlägg – ärligt talat 😉
