"Damen i svart"

Translation: The lady in black

[Arnauti]

There's a song about Damen i svart by the troubadour Evert Taube (1890–1976) who is very famous in Sweden, unfortunately I can't find a good version at the moment (you should hear it either with him or his son Sven-Bertil Taube).

Rock poet Ola Magnell has a song with the same title, pretty interesting lyrics here

[Nakauri]

Is this the song?

[Arnauti]

That's the Taube song, yes.

Och finns det det här sång https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHDZ5rYiMz0 på svenska? =)

[Marlie983518]

That's what I thought of when I read the sentence. It's actually the first song I learned on guitar

[JohnPap7]

I thought it was Uriah Heep :)

Is it just me or the pronunciation of svart is off?

[Arnauti]

You're right, svart should always be pronounced with a short a. Like this: http://sv.forvo.com/search-sv/svart/

[skrats]

To me the damen sounded a bit off, on both speeds it sounded like gamen... :/

[JohnMcConn7]

To me too!

[DaZki]

To me it sounded also gamen when the narrator pronounce it slowly. In normal speed it sounds more like damen as it should

[Aj4Y2c]

I agree. I think thi needs re-recording!

[Sodaguard]

At first I thought it said "är" instead of "i"

[lostdrewid]

personally I'm partial to Damen i Rött by Chris de Burgh :D

Hon kom till mig en morgon, en ensam söndag morgon....
