Kingfisher Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Bu yong xie! (I hope I got that right! ) Absolutely beautiful!! And the valley's pretty spectacular too.. And if you ever find yourself upon the North Sea... little seagull, fly to Helgoland![media=] 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.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 that I love a greeting.I'm lonely and abandoned, and I'm longing for her kiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper Real Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) 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: Edited May 31, 2012 by Hyper Real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zequatanil Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 From Magyarorszag--HungaryWith a little back ground id you don`t mind,Isten aldjon--God blessS Bánk Bán -Hazám,hazám Lyrics & ChordsBánk 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 vándorolLike an exile who wandersA sűrű éjen át,Through the thick darkness of nightS vad förgetegben nem leléWhom in the wild storm cannot findVezérlő csillagát,His guiding star,Az emberszív is úgy bolyong,Man`s heart wanders in a similar waysOly egyes-egyedül,So lonely and aloneÚgy tépi künn az orkán,Whose torn apart outside by wild winds of the stormMint az önvád itt belül.Just like by his conscience within.Csak egy nagy érzés éltetettOnly one heart felt sentiment kept me liveSok gond és gyász alatt,During this pain and mourning.Hogy szent hazám és hős nevemThat my holy homeland and heroic nameSzeplőtlen 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 fateHazám borítja szemfödélMy homeland closes its eyes in deathS elvész becsületem!And my honor shall be lost!Hazám, hazám, te mindenem!My lhomeland, my my everythingTudom, hogy mindenem neked köszönhetem.I know that I owe all and my life to you.in gratitude.Arany mezők, ezüst folyók,Golden plains, silver riversHős 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.! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GlV5TqsCfs&feature=related story of Ba`nk Ba`n found -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1nk_b%C3%A1nA little about the 1956 Revolution-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zequatanil Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) This is my favourite opera--I saw this at the Vienna State Opera when I was 16--on a trek through Europe-.
