The world is full of lost hopes.
Grab one as you pass by.
Root it, in your heart.
Nurture it, let it grow.
Spread it out, like branches.
As a leaf silently falling.
Hope is never truly lost.
Swedish version.
Hopp
Världen är full av förlorat hopp.
Plocka upp ett när du passerar.
Låt det slå rot, i ditt hjärta.
Vårda det, låt det växa.
Bred ut det, likt trädgrenar.
Som ett löv tyst faller.
Är hoppet aldrig helt förlorat.
Just hold on to it, ha de Gött!
Warm, colourful tracks.
Slippery, fallen leaves.
Secretly winding away.
Perceives winter chill.
Drive safe, ha de Gött!
Standing out from the crowd.
Freak, odd, weird, strange, bizarre, alien, misfit, peculiar.
Unique, original, innovative, exceptional, trailblazing, creative.
Change perspective to fill the void.
I just realised as I wrote this. It takes more letters to write the words to describe being different in a positive way than in a negative way!
Does that tell something about us? Ha de Gött!
We are just mirror images.
Soon blurred by the ripples of time.
We reach for the sky.
Just to fall, to the ground.
Like autumn leaves.
Then it starts again, ha de Gött!
Svensk version
Vi är bara spegelbilder.
Snart utsuddade av tidens krusning.
Vi sträcker oss mot himlen.
Bara för att falla, till marken.
Likt höstlöv.
Så startar det om igen, ha de Gött!
Anyone out there.
Anything, out there.
In cold, and damp aware.
We so easily scare.
Remember to look over your shoulder, ha de Gött!
Solen i mina ögon.
Med solen i mina ögon.
Sitter jag vid havet.
Vattenmild höstbris i mitt ansikte.
Bländar min själ till lugn.
English version.
With the sun in my eyes.
I sit by the sea.
Water mild autumn breeze in my face.
Blinding my soul to calm.
Wish the good moments last longer, ha de Gött!
Disunion waves.
Overwhelming.
Us and them.
Gasping not to drown.
In haze.
Lighthouse beacon.
Relentless Hope.
Standing firm.
Svensk version
Splittringens vågor.
Överväldigande.
Vi och dom.
Kippar efter andan.
I dimman.
Fyrens ljus.
Obevekligt hopp.
Står obeveklig.
Will we ever learn, ha de Gött!
Sun is giving the fjord.
A last goodnight kiss.
As the rain clouds gather.
And for a while.
My soul is at rest.
Sleep thigh, ha de Gött!
After rain the sun shines through.
If only for a short while.
It will always shine through.
Let the sun shine in, ha de Gött!
In fading late summer light.
Fairies come out in dance.
Shy, in long white veils.
Melting together in mist.
Tucking in nature for the night.
Svensk version
Älvdans
I blekt sensommarljus.
Älvorna komma ut i dans.
Blygt, i långa vita slöjor.
Smälter samman i dimma.
Stoppar om naturen för natten.
This is inspired by my father-in-law who had a name for this type of mist “Älvdans” Fairy Dance. Ha de Gött!
