Dear friends, once upon a time there was an opposition politician in a great and powerful country. After surviving a very severe poisoning, he was put in miserable prisons and later died under mysterious circumstances - It hurts!!

Lyrics in English

A Poor Man

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear when someone has died
when he fought for something that is good
he had striven for the freedom of his people

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I see that children in the world are suffering badly
when they were hit by bombs in their home
there they would have been safe from wicked men

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear people are starving to death
when there is so much money in this world
it would be very good if we can share everything we have

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear tyrants torment their people
they have thrown many people in a cage
and they have murdered several of those who oppose themselves


Lyrics in Swedish

 En Stackars Man

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör när någon människa har dött
när han stridit för något som är gott
han hade strävat efter friheten för sitt folk

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag ser att barn i världen lider svårt
när de träffats av bomber i sitt hem
där skulle de ha varit trygga från elaka män

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör att människor svälter ihjäl
när det finns så mycket pengar i denna värld
det hade varit väldigt bra om vi kan dela på allt vi har

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör att tyranner plågar sitt folk
de har kastat många människor i en bur
samt de har mördat flera av dom som opponerar sig

En Stackars Man - A Poor Man ( Lyrics in English in description below)

The Baltic Sea is living dangerously right now! Scores of ships in deplorable condition transport oil across the sea. The risks are great for extensive oil disasters! I have made some songs for the Baltic sea just to make people understand the problems.

I have recently published some of my songs on YouTube - search for Bengt Roth.

I write almost all of my songs, and I sing my songs and play the guitar and the harp - no more. My recording equipment is quite modest with a Furch guitar, Alhambra guitar, Röde microphone, Focusrite and Garageband. My studio is our guest room in our house.
I was young during the 1960s when Dylan became famous. I was a member of a folk song group during that time. I love Dylan´s music!! I was also a big fan of The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas and the Papas and several more singers. I like folk music and the old protest songs. I love the music
of Eva Cassidy. I was also a big fan of Björn Afzelius, and I love the music of Tom Petty. I am very inspired of the music of John Denver.
Bengt and certainly several 100 million people are intensively protesting against all evil around the world!
I love to sometimes write songs that are a bit weird and self-ironic!
You know that I am a novice in the "recording business", and sometimes I have to revise the songs.
My whole grown up life was occupied by my profession as a doctor in intensive care and anesthesiology. After that I have got the possibility to be dedicated to music. 
My songs are a matter of extreme happiness (Gretas song) and extreme sadness (Tough Year). I write all the music and lyrics except "As tears go by", "House of the Rising Sun", and songs by Evert Taube.
I love to leave some message with my songs!
I have no previous experience of writing fiction. I have, however, some experience in writing non-fiction. I wrote my thesis, and some chapters in a textbook in anesthesiology. I was also member of a group who introduced an education program in pediatric cardio pulmonary resuscitation for laymen in Sweden.
I have created a repost page "Bengt Erik Roth Repost Page" and I will make my reposts here in the future.
