Bu yong xie! (I hope I got that right! :)) Absolutely beautiful!! And the valley's pretty spectacular too.. :wub:

And if you ever find yourself upon the North Sea... little seagull, fly to Helgoland!

Little seagull, fly to Helgoland, bring the girl that I love a greeting.

I'm lonely and abandoned, and I'm longing for her kiss.

Little seagull, when the south wind blows, then the great homesickness awakens in me.

My desires, my dreams send me across the wide sea to her.

Homeland, homeland, nothing is so beautiful as you.

Only once, just once I would like to see you again!

Little seagull, fly to Helgoland, bring the girl I love a greeting.

I'm lonely and abandoned, and I'm longing for her kiss.

Each foreign town, every foreign girl, arguably has its charm... for a moment.

But it's not so glorious as the one I left back home.

Little seagull, fly to Helgoland, bring the girl I love a greeting.

I'm lonely and abandoned, and I'm longing for her kiss.

Hmm, I was trying to find some contemporary song about Oslo or Norway in general.

Can't seem to find one....

But I do like Terje Rypdal.

Come to think of it my avatar can easily be placed somewhere in the ECM catalog. :)

Here goes Rypdal in (yes in) Romsdalshorn.

Chill Brothers.....

And this is one of my favorites:

Bánk Bán -Hazám,hazám Lyrics & Chords

Bánk bán is an opera composed by Ferenc Erkel in 1861, based on a stage play of the same title by József Katona. (Bán is in English, similar to a viceroy, a duke or palatine.) The main storyline is based on the assassination of Queen Gertrúd in 1213, wife of Andrew II.

This is the most known aria of the opera-a tenor aria-the most patriotic aria of Hungary.

Dalszöveg --Lyrics

Mint száműzött, ki vándorol

Like an exile who wanders

A sűrű éjen át,

Through the thick darkness of night

S vad förgetegben nem lelé

Whom in the wild storm cannot find

Vezérlő csillagát,

His guiding star,

Az emberszív is úgy bolyong,

Man`s heart wanders in a similar ways

Oly egyes-egyedül,

So lonely and alone

Úgy tépi künn az orkán,

Whose torn apart outside by wild winds of the storm

Mint az önvád itt belül.

Just like by his conscience within.

Csak egy nagy érzés éltetett

Only one heart felt sentiment kept me live

Sok gond és gyász alatt,

During this pain and mourning.

Hogy szent hazám és hős nevem

That my holy homeland and heroic name

Szeplőtlen megmarad.

Shall forever remain immaculate.

Most mind a kettő orvosra vár,

But now both are waiting for the physician,

S míg itt töprenkedem,

And while I am here pondering about fate

Hazám borítja szemfödél

My homeland closes its eyes in death

S elvész becsületem!

And my honor shall be lost!

Hazám, hazám, te mindenem!

My lhomeland, my my everything

Tudom, hogy mindenem neked köszönhetem.

I know that I owe all and my life to you.in gratitude.

Arany mezők, ezüst folyók,

Golden plains, silver rivers

Hős vértől ázottak, könnytől áradók.

Drenched in heroic blood , and flooded from all the tears .

Sajgó sebét felejti Bánk,

Bank is forgetting his throbbing pain and wounds,

Zokog, de szolgálja népe szent javát.

Wails in tears and pain but still serves his people`s in holy duty.

Magyar hazám, te mindenem!

My Magyar homeland, you`re my everything!

Te érted bátran meghalok,

For you I will fearlessly die,

Te Szent Magyar hazám!

You my holy Magyar homeland!

Magyar hazám, megáldalak!

My Magyar homeland I bless you!

Szép érted élni, érted halni,

It is beautiful to live for you, to die for you,

Te hős magyar hazám!

You my heroic Magyar homeland.!

Greece--Athens--.

This is one place I would happily live for the rest of my life, I would even learn Greek :surf: dance, listen to bouzouki, drink ouzo all day. Just dream of those beautiful Greek gods, --And maybe the Oracle of Delphi would have pity on me and predict something good for my life--I need it.

Well and this--just the music though. I am no fallen woman. :no!: well not yet. There is a first time for everything though-- :derisive:
