    Björn: The years passed. Kristina was established in the new country. The seventh child died at birth. The doctor said to the couple that Kristina must never become pregnant again. Kristina questioned the existence of God for the first time.

    No english translation can do this song justice. Nothing can compare to the original lyrics, and no one can sing this better than Helen. That is my opinion.

      @senchaholic Před 6 lety +9

      Sarah McGrath this translation does a better job of capturing her despair than the official English one. Problem is of course, that this translation wouldn’t work musically. I feel the official translation just falls flat. It feels clinical in a way compared to the Swedish text which I feel is more personal and simple in its expression, how someone actually would talk. In the English one with phrases like “my life I have placed in thy keep” sounds more like a hymn instead of a desperate woman’s cry for help.

      As someone who speaks both languages fluently (plus other 3), I actually disagree and I find your opinion surprising, since you speak both languages too. The translation is pretty accurate in both meaning and tone; it just doesn't rhyme. It's not like the original uses any idiosyncratic words, as is the case with other Swedish songs.

    I saw this when it was in Gothenburg and its been something like 25 years since then, it is still the the best concert I have ever been to and I still cant listen to this song without choking up. Two things stand out, first of all as a Swede its the clarity of the words, every syllable is still present despite being sung which is almost unheard of, the other is the emotion in which she sings, you can literally feel the anger, despair and sorrow in her voice, there might be better technical vocalists out there but when you add in the emotion that she adds to the words she is without equals. Thank you, Thank you!!
