Check out this wonderful band from Sweden. They play Folk/Pop/Acoustic music and sound like a mixture of Simon & Garfunkel, The Smiths, Bob Dylan and ABBA. All their lyrics [though they have a very important and powerful message] are in Swedish but the melodies sort of speak for themselves, so don't worry about not understanding them! Some of their best songs: "Redan Idag" ["Already Today"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YILlZPVoHDs "Nej" ["No"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EafqqTk-xr0 "Ingen Vill Veta Var Du Köpt Din Tröja" ["Nobody Wants To Know Where You Bought Your Shirt"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vACnVGoupA Also check out their MySpace if you want: http://www.myspace.com/raymondochmaria I've been a fan of them for about 2 years now. They're amazing |

I tried my hand at translating the song "Nej" ["No"] before. It's not literally translated word by word because I wanted it to rhyme in English as well, but it's still the same message. Not finished with it though but here's a draft: "Nej/No" Texaco station, Lundin's aluminum Then going uphill Keep moving on, keep moving on All that we've done here All that we said here All we believed here Will disappear but have no fear Those who think that home has to be where you live Have never been with me Have never been with me Life is too short for BBQ's and watching sports There must be something more That they never saw before No and I said no and I said no I'll never ever ever come back To your town, to your lives I'll never ever ever come back To whom you wanted me to be I'll never ever ever come back To their town, to their lives I'll never ever ever come back [2nd verse not yet translated] No and I said no and I said no I'll never ever ever come back To your town, to your lives I'll never ever ever come back To whom you wanted me to be I'll never ever ever come back To their town, to their lives I'll never ever ever come back Keep on driving, I don't care if we end up dying I lived for a second I lived for a second What you showed me from your Mazda 323 Will always stay with me Will always stay with me No and I said no and I said no I'll never ever ever come back To your town, to your lives I'll never ever ever come back To whom you wanted me to be I'll never ever ever come back To their town, to their lives I'll never ever ever come back =================== Hope that makes it easier for you guys The music video for the song "Nej" ["No"] was filmed in the suburb where I grew up! That square where they are at is by this shopping center we used to go to all the time! |

Thank you for the translation Eru! That's so cool! If you love them, you should check out one of my all time favorite latin bands. The name of the band is 'La Oreja de Van Gogh' and they're from Spain. The music is very catchy and melodic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg3pg0p94YI La Playa(The Beach) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALYMyHP0aQE Dulce Locura(Sweet Insanity) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJo5aQFll00 Muñeca de Trapo(Rag Doll) I'm going to start a thread about them |
