Story behind the song
A beautiful Swedish ballad here sung by Heidi. A meeting with the Swedish lyrics composer, key fiddler Åsa Jinder, in Mörrum (Sweden) in summer 2004, led to the English translation by Stef. The English version was recorded here but you will notice that the last chorus is sung in the Swedish language (tack o kram Åsa).
Lyrics
Longing for You (Av Längtan till Dig) Music: Jan Krantz, lyrics: Åsa Jinder, Eng. lyrics: Stef Sigfalk, Air Chrysalis Scandinavia For so long I’d lived my life as if you were never there But in all my dreams you were beside me So wonderf’ly near me Then I thought I had found you but saw that you were elsewhere Everytime I found my dream would vanish As if it was never there Chorus And all embraces abandoned, in longing for you I believed you were somewhere awaiting me too Always grieving, I wandered, so tired but set For to meet the most beautiful person I ever met It came simple and pretty, you said that you’d waited too I could sense that there must be a heaven, On earth, I could see it And you asked if I’d live all my life always close to you I followed all your steps and then discovered My dreams finally came true Chorus… My heart never, had ever, been touched in such magic ways Your tender care makes every pain and sorrow Give way for tomorrow Every shadow, all darkness, that used to get in my ways Has vanished and together we see light come With glorious, sunny days Chorus…2x
