Swedish Tunes

Recommended Posts

My copy of 'Fiddle music from Northern Lands' arrived yesterday, and it's lovely - nice clear music & good production values generally, lots of information, and a good proportion of new-to-me tunes alongside the standards.

That's my leisure playing sorted for the next few weeks :) Thanks to John Wild for the tip-off.

 

Glad you like it

there also the classic Shanachie cd, "three swedish fiddlers," full of wonderful swedish melody music that would sound brilliant on either anglo or EC....i have had this for years on both cassette and cd and love it....

let's not forget mark gilston's marvelous "Troll Road," a recording of swedish and other scandinavian tunes, on EC and dulcimer, tracks samplable at cdbaby:

smile.gif apologies for the slight thread drift but does anyone have an English translation of the Finnish lyrics for Georg Malmsten's song 'Sarkynyt Onni'? It's a lovely sad melody but when people ask me what I'm playing all I can tell them is that it's known as 'Broken Fortune' (or Shattered Happiness).

 

Thanks Ann biggrin.gif

Hi Ann

 

Have you looked at a partial translation from Google Translate? Move the mouse over the English, and click for some alternate words.

Thanks Leo smile.gif, the translation of the 3rd line had me in fits biggrin.gif

I didn't have the lyrics in either Finnish or English so the links are a great help. I've copied the Finnish text and will get it printed out, one of my friends is a good linguist and even if she can't translate them she may know someone who can.
