Swedish lyrics

"Jag Föddes Ur Havet"

Lyrics: Mats Paulson

Jag föddes ur havet
vid vindarnas lek
och väcktes i vågornas dans
och spolades upp
på den grönskande strand
och visste med ens att jag fanns.

Jag kände mig hungrig,
då åt jag mig mätt
av frukter som föll i min hand.
Men oron blev stor
för kommande da’r,
som levande känner ibland.

Nu lyssnar jag tryggt
till de lugnande slag
som endast mitt hjärta kan ge.
Jag räknar ej längre
de tider som flyr,
jag fruktar ej vad som ska ske.

Recital:

Innesluten i jordens famn
ska Du alltid vara!

Vem Du är
och vad Du är
behöver ingen förklara.

Tiden går
och den står still.
Allting finns
Och hör Dig till!

Innesluten i jordens famn
ska Du alltid vara!

English translation

“I was born out of the sea”

I was born out of the sea
by the play of the winds
and was woken in the dance of the waves
and wash washed up
on the verdant shore
and I knew at once that I existed..

I felt hunger
and I ate [until I was not hungry]
of the fruits that fell into my hand.
But the worry became big
for future days,
like the living feels sometimes.

Now I listen safe
to the calm beats
that only my heart can give.
I don’t count anymore,
the times that flees,
I fear not what will happen.

Recital:

Enclosed in the earth’s embrace
shall You always be!

Who you are
and what you are
nobody need to explain.

Time goes
and time stand still.
Everything exists
And belongs to you

Enclosed in the earth’s embrace
shall you always be.

elenikabouri This poem touches my soul so deeply....

elenikabouri I look forward to listen to the music for that beautiful and special poem. Alexander's need and his choice to make that album with this kind of lyrics and melodies show some interesting things about him. I have read several recent interviews of Alexander and considering also his last decision to go back to school and finish his studies,which I find another wise thought of him,i don't know,but all these in total give me the impression of someone,who wants to redefine his priorities and what does he want in life,someone who wants to clear some things up inside of him and finally take the control of the whole situation. And in my opinion some painful experiences he had during these past two turbulent years have played major role in all this.

Alexhelen24 I believe that the main reason that made Alex get through those difficult and painful experiences the past two years is that he wasn't thinking much about himself. I think he always used to put his friends and generally other's needs over his own needs. Also I believe that he has worked way too much and he still hasn't get the proper rest that he needs. Though Alex has changed his way of thinking lately, as I've read in many of his latest interviews he said that he will stop saying yes to everything. He will focus on his self instead, his health and his needs.

elenikabouri Yeah,I've read that too and it's the best thing for him to do. And I also think that with this new album and his charming personality,which is shown in several recent interviews of him,he will make many women to fall in love with him deeper than ever before...

Alexhelen24 I don't doubt at all! His personality is beautiful and he can do many things. Alex said that by recording this new, he found the man in him, he showed how great musician he is. Cause Alex doesn't like being called a pop star, he calls himself a musician more than a star and a singer and he wants other people to believe it. He proved it, and it's not random that he got the best critics for this wonderful album.
