Parysatis Shahrokhi I would agree, but most swedish people in my school are either racists or extremely mean. It’s almost sad watching them rant about immigrants and calling people mean names. Though the country in general is awesome. Did you know that during summer it feels like you’re gonna melt and you wish for winter to come sooner, but during winter it literally feels like you’ve been frozen to ice as soon as you step out into the cold weather.

HailedFuture 61 How does discussing the massive issue with immigrants We have make us racist? (That is if you’re referring to SD as racists , and not actually talking about people just being plain up racist)
Did you learn anything? If you didn't, here you go: Hej= Hello Hur mår du= How are you? Mat= Food Hej då= Goodbye Jag heter= My name is Don't forget about Å Ä Ö
Mycket begåvad talang denna Jakob Karlberg. Låten är helt underbar och ger en smak av 80talet och dess häftiga ungdomsband. Kan inte låta bli att få gåshud och le. Mina barn sjunger med och dansar som tokiga med ett leende på läpparna. Fan va bra :-)
For all confused non-Swedish speakers, pretty much everyone here is right: it is difficult to give an accurate translation to this song because the “intensity” of swearwords are different between English and Swedish. While the so called worst or most intense swearwords in English usually relate to subjects such as sex or genitals, in Swedish it's rather to concepts like hell and the devil. And just like in English swearwords can be used to describe something we like. “Fan” is in Sweden an old word for the devil. The following examples are more or less considered equally offensive: - Fucking idiot! - Jävla idiot! (“jävla” is a word derived from “djävulen”, the Swedish word for the devil) - Go fuck yourself! - Dra åt helvete! (= “Go to hell”) - For fuck's sake! - För fan! / För helvete! In short, “Fucking great”, “Damn/Shit/Fuck so good” and so forth could all be seen as accurate translations to “Fan va bra”. Anyway, it's not really that important anyhow. It's an awesome song whether you can understand the lyrics or not.
Nejdå jag tycker också att det är en fullkomligt rimlig översättning, speciellt då "Hell yeah" och "Fan vad bra " båda tenderar att användas i samma sorts scenarier, dvs när vi vill uttrycka hur jävla gött någonting är. ;)
Nämen här har vi ju en musikvideo, jag letade efter den! En sådan här bra låt förtjänar sig sin musikvideo och så laddades den upp idag till och med! Ärligt talat den bästa svenska låten jag hört på mycket länge! :D
I give a english translation a try(first two verses and choros) Here I stand anxiously and shuttling between yes and no If I was seven I would have asked to be my girlfriend My courage disapeared with the years, how should I now come forth How should I give my number, first and last name when Im feeling naked Your making me crazy, feeling naked Fucking great! standing at the station, there you are, are you going home Fucking great! is it to late to fight at 05:15 Fucking great! that you are seing me standing here smiling Lets be togethere tonight Fucking great! walking up to you my heart is beating twohundred and five Here I am, a lonely soul that wants it 100% shall we go, just take a chance and se how it goes Stood like a fool in the bar and checked every corner and nook I stood and wondered if it was here that you were going Becouse some common friend said that we would click And she can throw herself into the wall if she is making things up Our eyes meet but I thing looked away again how interesting to think hand in hand on the way home Let us fly without fear of falling down I would promise anything if you would undress me more
I find the French language to be ugly. Can't listen to it for long periods of time. I've always liked the Swedish language and was very happy when we started to study it in school, but my favorite language is Korean. It's so soft I just melt when I listen to it.
I first heard this song from Monocle radio. The tune just blew me away and so I searched for the song, and then the meaning online. I have been playing this song several times now, I can't get over it. Two thumbs up! Anyone knows where I can get free Swedish language lesson? :D
