Sange

Om lidt bli’r her stille

Kim Larsen, 1986

Om lidt bli’r her stille

om lidt er det forbi

fik du set det du ville

fik du hørt din melodi

Forladt og alene

danser cirkusprinsessen rundt

går i stå på sin line

i et sanseløst sekund

Om lidt, om lidt er vi borte

vi ses måske igen

I skovens dybe, stille ro

Fritz Andersen, 1868

Melodi: Dansk Folkemelodi

I skovens dybe stille ro,

hvor sangerhære bo,

hvor sjælen lytted mangen gang

til fuglens glade sang;

der er idyllisk stille fred

i skovens ensomhed,

og hjertets længsler tie her,

hvor fred og hvile er.

Hør! landsbyklokken lyder ned,

bebuder aftenfred, småfuglen,

før den går til blund,

end kvidrer lidt en stund;

i mosen kvækker højt en frø,

stærkt damper mark og sø;

nu klokken tier – aftenens fred

sig stille sænker ned.

Tears in Heaven

Eric Clapton, 1991

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way, through night and day

Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knee

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

Begging please

Beyond the door

There's peace I'm sure.

And I know there'll be no more...

Tears in heaven

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Svantes Svanesang

Benny Andersen (1973)

Timerne føles så korte

ingenting varer ved.

Mor jer nu godt, når jeg er borte

Jeg ønsker jer sange og kærlighed

Bag mig er misbrugte dage.

Foran mig noget jeg ikke ved.

I, som skal blive tilbage,

jeg ønsker jer sange og kærlighed.

Jeg rejser uden eskorte og uden bitterhed.

Mor jer nu godt når jeg er borte

Jeg ønsker jer sange og kærlighed.

Blowing in the wind

Bob Dylan, 1963

How many roads must a man walk down

Before they call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

How many times must the cannonballs fly

Before they are forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist

Before it is washed to the sea?

How many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free?

How many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?

How many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?

How many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind
