Teacup XXXVIII

[Voronwen]

Mmmmm..... tea with lemon!

[Grey_Wolf]

This one of my absolute favourite swedish ballads.

För kärlekens skull – For the Sake of Love

Utanför fönstret slår våren ut………Outside the window spring has come
Marken blir grön igen…………....…….The ground is green again
Allt som var dött, väcks till liv,……..All that was dead, comes alive
det kan också vi…………………......….So do you and I.
Mm..Så länge vi andas…………....….Mmh…As long as we breath.

Ute till havs styr en fiskebåt……..….Out at the sea a fishing-boat sails.
Längs en fri horisont…………….....….Along a new horizon
Den gungar så tryggt in mot hamn...It makes for safety in port
som jag i din famn…………………........As I do in your arms
Mm.. Så länge vi älskar…………....…..Mmh… As long as we’re lovers

Det är för oss solen går opp……………..…..It is for us that the Sun do rise
Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull………..Shining like gold, for the love we hold
Solen går upp, så oskuldsfull…………...……The sun do rise, so innocently
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull………...……Shines upon us for the love we hold

Högt på ett berg står en katedral,…………..Up on a mountain there is a church
och pekar upp mot skyn……………….....……..Reaching for the sky.
Men det är för himlen i dig,………………....….But it is for the heaven in you,
och jorden i mig…………………...……………and the Earth in me.
Mm.. Vi älskar varandra……………………..Mmh - We love each other

Det är för oss solen går opp………………...It is for us that the Sun do rise
Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull………...Shining like gold, for the love we hold
Solen går upp, så oskuldsfull……………….The Sun do rise, so innocently
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull…………….Shines upon us for the love we hold

Mmmm... Mmh -

Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull………...Shining like gold for the love we hold
Lyser på oss, för kärlekens skull……………Shines upon us for the love we hold

For those with over 9,000 posts, your virtual extra bonus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvFsrlTe40Q

And for those like me with 18 posts.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A No offense intended to those with fewer than 18 posts, or those with fewer than 9,000!!! I needed to put this video link somewhere, and I laugh everytime I hear this tune!

It's great to see so many familiar * virtual * faces around here! It's good to be back! I'll try to return regularly. Sorry I haven't. I've had a lot of things to attend to, even during the summer. Right now I have had the time to say hi so I have! Yay!

"What is his power level?"

"About 9000!"

"NINE THOUSAND!!??"

"Yes, nine thousand. Now let's feed the ducks at the lake."

"NINE THOUSAND ducks?"

"Yes, nine thousand ducks, you twit!"

9 hours later ....

"NINE THOUSAND TEACUPS!!??"

"Yes .... ugh .... good bye cruel world." *The guy gets tired of the 9000 jokes and jumps off the Empire State Building.*

"Wow .... didn't think he'd do that. I didn't think he'd actually fall OVER NINE THOUSAND feet!"

Would anyone care for a walk in the woods? My back is aching and it was suggested that staying on the move would be good for it.

I'd care for a walk in the woods, but at the moment I think I feel like I have a cold.

Mandy gets forgetful, so I'll have to regularly remind her. Then again she is remarkably busy. All things considered, I guess her memory isn't too bad. If I were that busy, I'd be forgetting everything! When I forget things, it's like this ... go into a room and forget why I went in there. And the first two words that come into my head .... Alzheimer's Disease.

This is another of my favourite Swedish ballads.

Himlen är oskyldigt blå,..............................The Sky is innocent and blue
som ögon när barnen är små.......................As kid’s eyes when they’re - two
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör..........Raindrops are falling like your tears do
rår inte stjärnorna för..................................The stars cannot affect this you know
Älskling jag vet hur det känns,.....................Darling, I know how it feels
när broar till tryggheten bränns.....................When bridges to safety do burn.
Fast tiden har jagat oss in I en vrå,..............Though time has chased us into a nook
är himlen så oskyldigt blå...........................The sky still is innocent and blue.
När vi växte upp, lekte livet,.........................When we grew up – life was just a game
vi var evighetens hopp.................................We are eternity’s hope
Det var helt självklart att vår.........................It was evidently dear that
framtid skulle bli,........................................our future would be
oförbrukat fri............................................... untarnished and free
Somrar svepte fram,....................................Summers went by
jorden värmde våra fötter där vi sprang...........the earth was hot beneath our feet as we ran
Rågen gungade, och gräset växte grönt.........The rye fields were waving and the
.................................................. ................grass was so green
Hela livet var så skönt...................................My whole life was so good
Himlen är oskyldigt blå,................................The Sky is innocent and blue
som ögon när barnen är små.........................As kid’s eyes when they’re - two
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör,............Raindrops are falling like your tears do
det rår inte stjärnorna för..............................The stars cannot affect this you know
Älskling, jag vet hur det känns,....................Darling, I know how it feels
när broar till tryggheten bränns....................When bridges to safety do burn.
Fast tiden har jagat oss in I en vrå...............Though time has chased us into a nook
är himlen så oskyldigt blå...........................The sky still is innocent and blue.
Frusna på en strand,..................................Frozen on a beach
Flög vi med drakar medans.........................We played with kites
tiden flöt iland............................................W hile time flowed ashore
Vi var barn som ingen ondska kunde nå.......We were kids that no evil could reach
himlen var så blå........................................The sky was so blue
Nu tar molnen mark.......................................Now the clouds reach ground
Jag var förblindad av att solen sken så stark.... I was blinded by the sun’s bright light
Men mina ögon kommer alltid le mot dig..........But my eyes will always smile towards you
Kan det begäras mer av mig...........................Could more be asked of me
Himlen är oskyldigt blå,.................................The Sky is innocent and blue
djupaste hav likaså.......................................The deepest of oceans are too
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör,............Raindrops are falling like your tears do
det rår inte stjärnorna för...............................The stars cannot affect this you know
Älskling, jag vet hur det känns,......................Darling, I know how it feels
när broar till tryggheten bränns......................When bridges to safety do burn.
Fast tiden har jagat, oss in I en vrå................Though time has chased us into a nook
Är himlen så oskyldigt blå.............................The sky is so innocent and blue.

Here is the third one.

Vem tänder stjärnorna-----------------Who Lights the Stars

Det var evighetssekunder---------------The moments were eternal
tre korta andetag---------------------------Three very brief breaths
hela livet vände------------------------------My whole life turned around
vem valde--------------------------------------Who choose
inte jag------------------------------------------It wasnt me
jag hörde ord från mina läppar----------I heard words from your lips
som aldrig vilat i min mun----------------That couldnt be found in me
tankar aldrig tänkta-------------------------thoughts never pondered
som nya väggar i ett rum-----------------Like new walls in a room.

Som om vi alltid älskat--------------------As if we’ve always been lovers
sen min dagboks första blad------------Since the first word of my writ
men att jag får skriva ditt liv--------------And that I might write your life
bara tur------------------------------------------It was just luck
det var inget val-------------------------------Not a choice
och av alla dessa möten-------------------Of all these encounters
och allt som borde hänt--------------------And all that should have happened
hur sällan är jag orsak----------------------Rarely am I the reason
till att livet vänt---------------------------------That life has changed

Jag har ingen ödestro----------------------Have no faith in fate
den tanken ger ingen ro-------------------This thought gives no peace
men vem vänder vindarna-----------------Who turn the winds away
vem får mej att gå---------------------------Who asks me to go
dit jag aldrig gått-----------------------------Where Ive never gone
vem tänder stjärnorna---------------------Who lights the stars
som bara jag ser-------------------------Whom only I see
i dina ögon ..................................In your eyes
vem vänder vindarna.....................Who turn the winds away
och för mej dit.............................and takes me where
min tanke..................................my thought
aldrig nått...................................has never gone

Så många år som jag levt--------------------As many years that Ive been alive
med den jag ville va'----------------------------As the one I wanted to be
så många kvinnor som jag spelat---------As many women as Ive played
men aldrig gjort det bra------------------------But never did well
måste våga bara vara---------------------------Must dare to just be
med minnet av det barn------------------------With the memory of the child
som lät livet välja---------------------------------That let life chose and
och våga säga: "ja".----------------------------made it able to say: yes.


Jag har ingen ödestro----------------------Have no faith in fate
den tanken ger ingen ro-------------------This thought gives no peace
men vem vänder vindarna-----------------Who turn the winds away
vem får mej att gå---------------------------Who asks me to go
dit jag aldrig gått-----------------------------Where Ive never gone
vem tänder stjärnorna---------------------Who lights the stars
som bara jag ser-------------------------Whom only I see
i dina ögon ..................................In your eyes
vem vänder vindarna.....................Who turn the winds away
och för mej dit.............................and takes me where
min tanke..................................my thought
aldrig nått...................................has never gone


Vem tänder stjärnorna---------------Who lights the stars
som bara jag ser-----------------------Whom I only see
i dina ögon -------------------------------In your eyes
vem vänder vindarna------------------Who turn the winds away
vem får mej att gå---------------------Who asks me to go
dit jag aldrig gått-----------------------Where Ive never gone

Vem tänder stjärnorna----------------Who lights the stars
som bara jag ser-----------------------Whom I only see
i dina ögon -------------------------------In your eyes
vem vänder vindarna------------------Who turn the winds away
vem får mej att gå----------------------Who asks me to go
dit jag aldrig gått------------------------Where Ive never gone

Eärniel, those cookies look like 'appelschuiten' only with the apple filling. Yum ^_^
*gets Earn a few pillows and blankies* You mustn't catch cold.

Me! Me! Pick me! I'm here, on the other side of the cafe! Me!

[Aikanáro]

What, nine thousand?!

(yes, I know it's belated. I don't care. I used to love that show. )

Anyone who still hasn't seen TV Tropes needs to. Except if you don't need a new site to waste lots of time reading, of course.

I'm not familiar with the name, but I must admit to me most cookies are 'cookies!' and further determination isn't always necessary. Thanks for the pillows and blankies! So comfy... *snuggles in warm blanket*

I miss Sane. Who else can I give a tummyrub? >_<

And where did Sis go?

No! Don't link to TVTropes!

Damnit woman! I've got things I need to be doin' tomorrow!

[Acalewia]

*sneaks into the cafe and sits in her comfy chair snuggling Anictos*

I guess I'm gonna act like the ghost that I apparently am.

Right now, I kinda feel much the same, as a ghost. In my case it would be a fitting title ....

Ahhhh. I need tea I think. *Picks up the cup of tea, finding that it has been laced with extremely-radioactive materials.*

[Mari]

*is waiting for Amael to transform in Superwoman*
Sis has been busy lately. But yeah, she's been scarce too

*goes for a walk in the woods with Noble* My back is a bit better today

[Amael]

^.^

(Since when have we had to send at least a 4-char. message? )

[Mari]

(Since always )

Good heavens, I can use a cup of tea. I'm re-reading 'The Dwarves' by Markus Heitz because I borrowed part 2 from the library but I couldn't really remember everything that happened in the first part.
