Translation of Lyrics: BAO! album Here are my translations of songs on Benny's new album in case any other fans want to know what they are about. Some of the lines may sound a bit odd. It's quite difficult to translate lyrics that read like poetry, but I did my best. So here they are: +++++++++++++++++++ Du är min man/You Are My Man Lyrics: Björn Ulvaeus You are my man and I know you do the best you can although you don't think you're enough but you can think whatever you want I love you and I beg you, you have to believe me it means everything that the two of us have each other You are my man I know how to make you forget so that only the present matters so that you'll laugh again and stop judging yourself for a moment and dare to dream And if the grim reality is more than you can handle right now so let me help you then to swallow your annoyance for me there's only you You are my man and I know you do the best you can although you don't think you're enough but you can think whatever you want I love you and I beg you, you have to believe me it means everything that the two of us have each other You are my man And if the bitter hopelessness has taken root within you right now so let me help you then to swallow your annoyance for me there's only you You are my man... +++++++++++++++++++ Midnattsdans/Midnight Dance Lyrics: Björn Ulvaeus When we meet each other glide past me like a shadow like an elusive melody without a name We will walk in a forest where a light rain will drizzle as we find a meaning in a safe harbor We move in a midnight dance in a graceful andante In a minuet we lead ourselves with sense and consciousness But when the good sense disappears and when the senses burn in the fire we destroy ourselves a midnight dance Near the wind and the ocean a miracle can happen which can divert our hesitation and take shape All the old is buried Our faces facing a love made of flesh and blood that froze and starved We move in a midnight dance in a graceful andante In a minuet we lead ourselves with sense and consciousness But when the good sense disappears and when the senses burn in the fire we destroy ourselves a midnight dance +++++++++++++++ Skenbart/Ostensible Lyrics: Peter Dalle Imagine if I was a beautiful model with highlights in my hair and pastel colored shoes I would walk in a nice way and smile a bit timidly when the guys whistled animalistic and naughtily An apartment on Gärdet, a man who's kind lobster and oysters every night I dream myself away with my handsome husband but there's a drawback in the world of daydreams Because everything is ostensible like the movie, just a flickering short emulsion A moment of happiness to adorn the weekday with a false passion Yes, everything is ostensible and pitifully vulnerable, a mirage of an illusion But what am I supposed to do when the weekday is monotonous Maybe a director will discover me and turn me into a new Doris Day Then I become like her; an attractive mystery and make people cry until the movie ends Because everything is ostensible... No, don't wake me up now I'm dreaming right now everything is wonderful Don't leave me now! I have to dance with you before the day dawns. Now! Yes, everything is ostensible and pitifully vulnerable, a mirage of an illusion But what am I supposed to do when the weekday is monotonous ++++++++++++++++++ Saknadens rum/The Room Of Regret Lyrics: Ylva Eggehorn The song, the song which sang me and all the roads that once carried me the silent hours which gave me freedom where are they now, who sees them The trees that could speak and that wind which came from the ocean with all the swallows under the ice it was a fairytale But it was mine and the ice melted then they flew out and lifted the sky all of which then was my home is here in the room of regret The light that rose towards the day the silent rain which fell on the ground, the deep river that searched for the ocean I was on my way, I saw them The day was mine and the night with all the trees that capture stars I laid on the cliff heated up by the sun: it was summer then And under the roof swallows lived they had taught me to fly through walls all that then was my home exists here in the room of regret ++++++++++++++++++ Kärlekens tid/The Time Of Love Lyrics: Ylva Eggehorn Touch me now fill my life to the brim I who then was a child search for my song Who took my sorrow who deprived me of the gift it gave me my strength I was a child The time of love has preserved my longing I who then was a child search for my song Touch me now fill my life to the brim you gave me my hunger I am a child ++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to ABBAMAILer Claes Davidsson, Orlando, Florida, USA |
