Var det en dröm Was it a dream Sibelius Karita Mattila

"Was it a Dream?", sung by the inimitable Karita Mattila. Music by Jean Sibelius. I found the lyrics already translated this time, so they might be better than my usual translations from Swedish. The background clip is an excerpt from "Hilja maitotyttö" (Hilja the Milkmaid) a 1953 Finnish film which, annoyingly, I cannot find with English subtitles.

Var de en dröm?
Var det en dröm att ljurt engang
Jag var dit hjärtas vän?
Jag minns det som en tystnad sang,
Da strängen darrar än.
Jag minns en törnros av dig skänkt,
En blick as blyg och öm;
Jag minns en avskedstar, som blänkt
- Var allt, var allt en dröm?
Tradução para Português:
Foi um sonho?
Foi um sonho eu teu sido em tempos
O amigo do teu coração?
Recordo-me como a uma canção que passou,
Embora a corda ainda vibre
Recordo uma rosa, um presente teu,
Uma visão tão tímida e terna;
Recordo uma lágrima de despedida que brilhou
- Terá sido tudo um sonho?

Only 3,600 people have watched this enchanting gem over the last 2 years, while 30 million have doubtless watched the plastic, artificial rubbish that is Beyonce or Madona. Thank you for uploading

I agree with you. Philistines!
I didn't know when I uploaded the clip and the song that the young guy with the milkmaid drank himself to death by the age of 40. What a terrible waste.

[@horationelson57]

Thank you for sharing that story. Sad indeed and ironic that such a fine looking fellow would need to drink himself to death

Or worse. Young Men blowing up things or people playing pranks.

This IS a dream: a short Bergman film too beautiful to be true.

[@xxerggher2667]

The clips are not from a Bergman film, but from a 1953 Finnish film Hilja the milkmaid, directed by T. J. Särkkä.
