Not sure why I did this song some years ago, but as I suffer from burnout today, I feel like this more than ever. I worked hard on getting the melody right, but sadly didn't do a full arrangement, so no aspirations what so ever, it is what it is.

Track down now, thanks.

Vem Kan Segla
(Swedish Traditional)

Vem kan segla förutan vind?
Vem kan ro utan åror?
Vem kan skiljas från vännen sin
Utan att fälla tårar?
Jag kan segla förutan vind
Jag kan ro utan åror
Men ej skiljas från vännen min
Utan att fälla tårar


English Translation:

Who can sail without the wind?
Who can row without oars?
Who can leave behind a friend,
Without any tears to pour?
I can sail without the wind
I can row without oars
But I can not leave my friend
Without any tears to pour

Hello Magne,

Hi Magne:

Thanks for the English Translation. Since I am not a linguist, I don't know if anything is lost in translation. No matter, it is a poignantly sad melody and lyric. Your vocal was clear and well done. Could it be better? Maybe? Sometimes simple is better. Only you can determine if it needs more backing or changes to make it even more meaningful. I have no stones to throw.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it. ----Dave

Kolstad,
