The Swedish lyrics tell a slightly different tale, though. While in the English version, Anatolij and Florence realise that they do no longer feel the affection for each other they used to feel when they met, the love between the two in the Swedish version is as strong as ever. However, they need to break up because Anatolij has been blackmailed into returning to Russia in order to protect his wife and son.
I discovered this lady only weeks ago. I am in love! One talented lady. Wonderful singer.
Yes she is truly amazing and one of the greatest singer in the world. But also a good actor.
Be sure to check out her and Tommy's work with The Benny Andersson Orchestra (BAO)
I just discovered her today. She is breaking my heart. Amazing.
I don't understand a word but she breaks my heart every time. That final song from Kristina! Insane.
@@janknuckey She also sounds great in English. Great voice, wonderful singer and performer.
I love this duett. Tommy and Helen have the most beautiful voices in Sween.
The two greatest voices on Earth.
Not even the best Swedish singers, you mong,
Jaa, Du har så rätt!!❤❤
Tears. Unequalled performance of a brilliant score.
Such strength.....such a match. Wonderful Total.
I love the ending...the notes...the looks....the perfect voices. So so moving.
Odödlig musik ur Chess. Tommy o Helen är fantastiska tillsammans och naturligtvis på egen hand. Tack
Harmonies at 3:23 - BEAUTIFUL - not heard it done like that in any English version !
This hooked me forever. Thanks Mom for enjoying them with me. Brogan from Seattle.
gorgeous. I could listen to them both over and over.
I learnt this in English at school. Went to see it on in the West End. It’s so much better in Swedish! Everything. ❤️
Jaa, vad ska man säga ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful song! What an amazing rendition!
I'd love to see a full producation of the Swedish version of Chess, it sounds so beautiful
It is amazing! And available on dvd :)
Now available here on youtube, just search "Chess på svenska". No translations, but the whole TV production of the 2002 live show.
Två av nordens främsta röster...minst! Denna duett är så gudomlig!

English lyrics
Anatoly:
Knowing I want you
Knowing I love you
I can't explain
Why I remain
careless about you
Florence:
I've been a fool to allow
Dreams to become
Great expectations
Anatoly:
How can I love you so much
Yet make no move?
Both:
I pray the days and nights
In their endless weary procession
Soon overwhelm my sad obsession
You and I we've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings
Anatoly:
You could not give me
More than you gave me
Why should there be
Something in me
Still discontented
Florence:
I won't look back anymore
And if I do-just for a moment
Anatoly:
I'd soon be happy to say
I knew her well
Both:
But if you hear today
I'm no longer
Quite so devoted to this affair
I've been misquoted
You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings
