So let me give you another Swedish song with translation and lyrics. Learning vocabulary from lyrics/songs is like a guldgruva (gold mine) i.e. where you have lots and lots of treasures/resources, would maybe our Marcus say. I am referring to his previous blog post of course. I have chosen a song from one of my favorite bands Bo Kaspers Orkester – Vi kommer aldrig att dö. Let´s celebrate them with this song and the fact that they made an amazing performance last Saturday in Gothenburg. I remember listening to this song the day when I moved into my first ever, own, private flat in downtown Gothenburg and was celebrating in an unfurnished apartment with a glass of red wine in my hand before going out. I was sitting on a box and gazing through the apartment. Ending an old era and starting a new chapter in my life. Beautifully melancholy. Sheryl Crow sang in We do what we can; “If we could freeze moments in time we all would“. And indeed, I never took a picture in that apartment but I have it in my head. I hope you can relate to those moments of feeling free in life. Tibor´s youth novels. Checked.
