I am from Germany, originally from Turkey. Since few weeks, I listen Swedish Music (seeing here on TH-cam), and I must say, Swedish songs (no matter if folk, pop or techno) are always nice. For Example, I have listened any swedish song like Sibel Redzep /Niklas Strømsted, Sista morgonen or techno (song meaning in English: her name is Anna, by BassHunter_Dota ?), I am very sold on Swedish songs, to listen Swedish Music is enjoying.
Of course, different schools teach different practices, but "singing on the consonants" is widely spread amongst us who study the traditional music of Sweden.
Like a ship without a sail Like a fireward without shears Like a penny without imprint Like a beehive without wax Like an inn where there's no drink Like a betrothed without a ring, Is a lad without a maiden: A poor and wretched thing
Like a fire and like thunder Like a thought, like a dream, Like a bridge with thin boards Is broken by the least stream Like a flame in sticks and shavings Like a spark in gunpowder, That's how love is with maidens: Lights easy but dies out.
hey sorry I hadn't replied until now.. thank you so much for the translation! without you I would have to wait many years before I figure out what the song is about. you're cool
Like a Lord without money Like an orchard without fruit Like the fiddle without strings Like a flower without scent Like a road where you know That you cannot get to go So are girls without menfolk: Weaker vessels, mercy yes!
Like an oak rooted in a cliff Like a Jew in his faith Like a bank threatened by a wave Like a tern on a bridge Like a maple spared in brushwood And like Noah in his ark, That's how love is with men: Lights slowly, but burns strong
Ett strålande framförande, Emma sjunger rakt på utan "maner", så befriande att höra i stället för alla wailande struntsångerskor. Det finns hopp om framtiden ändå.
Det är den inte alls det. Jämfört med de andra europeiska språken (för att inte tala om de andra) så är svenskan ett lätt språk att lära sig. Talar av egen erfarenhet :)
2021 and this still gives me chills, love her and Triakel.
One fan from Spain.

Brenda never heard anything but Triakel. She would have loves this! My angel bride in heaven.

I've not heard this one before. This is simply excellent. Nuff said.
Fantastiskt!
sweet!!
Love her. Triakel. Garmarna. Anything.
Where can I find others similar ballads? I love this song ...
thanks for that info
@vaettir Hi! The String Sisters Live album is available from Compass Records in the U.S and Grappa Records in Norway .
Yes. Google on 'som en eld bondeson' and you will find a CD from alwa.
Like a ship without a sail
Like a fireward without shears
Like a penny without imprint
Like a beehive without wax
Like an inn where there's no drink
Like a betrothed without a ring,
Is a lad without a maiden:
A poor and wretched thing
It's a love song about man is nothing without a woman. And she sings about examples: the sea without sand,birds without wings etc..
6th line reads in August Bondeson's Visbok:
"men som intet färdas fås,"
Tack. Återigen. Tack.
@harangviraag666
As far as I know this song only appear in this dvd. There is a cd version of this dvd too
Like a fire and like thunder
Like a thought, like a dream,
Like a bridge with thin boards
Is broken by the least stream
Like a flame in sticks and shavings
Like a spark in gunpowder,
That's how love is with maidens:
Lights easy but dies out.

Din röst är så vacker! Tranemåla, Blekinge! Och texten ska vi inte tala om!!!!
Like a Lord without money
Like an orchard without fruit
Like the fiddle without strings
Like a flower without scent
Like a road where you know
That you cannot get to go
So are girls without menfolk:
Weaker vessels, mercy yes!
Ne men det finns all tid för att lära sig! Lycka till :)
Like an oak rooted in a cliff
Like a Jew in his faith
Like a bank threatened by a wave
Like a tern on a bridge
Like a maple spared in brushwood
And like Noah in his ark,
That's how love is with men:
Lights slowly, but burns strong
Hahaha! You're absolutely right :D
Is that song appers on any audio CD? What's that???
Not only a beautiful clear voice but at 3:44 Emma Härdelin becomes La Gioconda
5th line should read:
"Som den lön som Nisse sparat" according to Bondeson's collection.
Härligt! Det är såhär svensk folk ska vara, inte någon fånig traditionell dragspels-/fiolmusik :)
sorry my swedish is very bad. what's this song about? I keep hearing the word "som" but what's the subject?
Finns denna sång på skiva?
What's the song name?
"Som en eld och som ett väder" (The first word of the lyrics, that is.)
"as a flare, as a tempest" (speaking of the infatuation of a young girl)
Could anyone type in the lyrics, please? :)
Last line according to Bondeson:
"Uselt och ett ömkligt ting."
The verses have got in the wrong order.
It should be;
1. like a fire
2. like an oak
3. like a ship
4. like a Lord
Read the comments below
Nydelig. Jamtland dialekt?
Triakel - Tusen Tankar should be to your liking.
Härdelin är från mina hemtrakter!
Varför måste hon sjunga med så övertydliga r? :-P
Hon är trönd.
Ett strålande framförande, Emma sjunger rakt på utan "maner", så befriande att höra i stället för alla wailande struntsångerskor. Det finns hopp om framtiden ändå.
Not now. Garmarna disappeared
дэ. я тоже согласна несправедливость. таких групп больше не будет :/ обломали не по честному
@ubbecykelkedja
Men annars är det bra!
jag gillar den song, men jag förstår texten inte, för min svenska är inte bra ^^
@ubbecykelkedja
Okej. Men tycker inte om det :) Låter tafatt.
