Spontanous Duet For Doublebass And Cello

Dear friends.
Terrible things happen today!!

Dark clouds cover the World

The dark clouds are sailing all over the world
since a big nation has started a new war
and the bombs and the rockets are falling on peaceful folks
and the children in this country are filled with fear
it is so strange that this cruelty can exist
the invaders should be ashamed

One may wonder what the citizens in the country which attacks
are feeling this day when they can hear
that they are hated beyond all bounds in the whole world
but what can they do to make everything alright
they can tell their leader to stop
this cruel war before it is too late
 
We humans on this globe want to believe in goodness
and we hope that this wish will come true
so draw back all Your tanks and stop bombing innocent folks
or you will go to the history as a terrible land
but we think that You don’t know what You do
You must stop this cruel war at once

In Swedish:
Mörka moln täcker världen

De mörka molnen seglar över hela världen
sedan en stor nation har startat ett nytt krig
och bomber och raketer faller på fredliga människor
och barnen i detta land är fyllda av fasa
det är så konstigt att denna grymhet kan finnas
inkräktarna borde skämmas

Man kan undra vad medborgarna i landet som attackerar
känner den här dagen när de kan höra
att de är hatade bortom alla gränser i hela världen
men vad kan de göra för att allt ska bli bra
de kan säga till sin ledare att sluta
detta grymma krig innan det är för sent
 
Vi människor på detta klot vill tro på godhet
och vi hoppas att denna önskan går i uppfyllelse
så dra tillbaka alla Era tanks och sluta bomba oskyldiga människor
eller så kommer Ni att gå till historien som ett fruktansvärt land
men vi tror att Ni inte vet vad Ni gör
Ni måste stoppa detta grymma krig på en gång

Dark clouds cover the World

Hi folks,
something very, very, very bad is happening nearby!!!
 I am so happy that so many musicians are leaving their support for the affected country. Honor to the Russian citizens who are demonstrating against the war despite the threat of long prison sentences

Hidden Information

Some times ago there was a totalitarian state
which was ruled by a dictator so cruel
and he did not want - that his folks
should know all about the wrongdoings he made

There were pictures that they could not see of children who were suffering
and with faces wet by tears from their eyes
and they missed their dad - this day
since he had to go to war and maybe never come back

The dictator had started a war and he was bombing civilian folks
and he closed down all medias that report
about horrific war scenes - that were observed
so his people believed that he was such a good guy

Hidden Information

Dear friends. A nasty war is going on right now. This song is a prayer to the Warlord to stop the fight and withdraw his forces.
I do not dare to mention the name of this Warlord since he has a reputation to send out agents for murdering of inconvinient people all over the world. We have several Warlords in the world, and you must choose by Yourself.

Lyrics:

Letter to the Warlord

The row of people that are walking
away from the war - it is so fearsome

You may see small children
who are struggling along with their mothers
and some of them are wounded
Have You seen what I see Mister Warlord
and if You have You should certainly be ashamed


I saw old and disabled people
who fled across the rivers - on narrow footbridges

I was moved to tears of this sight
but they were helped by some wonderful people
and sometimes they were carried on their backs
Have You seen what I see Mister Warlord
and if You have You should certainly be ashamed


You should never shoot civilian people
which I know that You have done - and that Your soldiers

shot a whole family
they also shot down some old men and women
when they did’t recieve any food
Have You seen what I see Mister Warlord
and if You have You should certainly be ashamed

An approximate translation to Swedish

Kära vänner. Ett otäckt krig pågår just nu. Den här sången är en bön till krigsherren att stoppa kriget och dra tillbaka sina styrkor.
Jag vågar inte nämna namnet på denne krigsherre eftersom han har rykte om att skicka ut agenter för mord på obekväma människor över hela världen. Vi har flera krigsherrar i världen, och du måste välja själv.

Brev till krigsherren

Raden av människor som går
bort från kriget - det är så skrämmande

Du kanske ser små barn
som kämpar tillsammans med sina mammor
och några av dem är sårade
Har du sett vad jag ser Mister Warlord
och om du har så ska du verkligen skämmas


Jag såg gamla och funktionshindrade
som flydde över floderna - på smala gångbroar

Jag blev rörd till tårar av denna syn
men de fick hjälp av några underbara människor
och ibland bars de på ryggen
Har du sett vad jag ser Mister Warlord
och om du har så ska du verkligen skämmas


Man ska aldrig skjuta civila
vilket jag vet att Du har gjort - och att Dina soldater

sköt en hel familj
de sköt också ner några gubbar och kvinnor
när de inte fick någon mat
Har du sett vad jag ser Mister Warlord
och om du har så ska du verkligen skämmas

Letter to the Warlord

At The End Of Madness

In about 50 years, I might sit on a cloud and look at our world from above! Hopefully everything is fine then!

Looking Back from Future

Once upon a time our world was fearsome - it was populated by some folks
who were convienced that force was needed
for to tame the people in their land
But soon they learned that this is no way to go
And the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

The miserable year twenty two a bloody war was raging in the world
but the warlord had realized that it was no point
in slaughtering the people nearby
and furthermore a nasty virus had attacked the whole globe
But the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

But now for several years the presidents and the kings are wise
they have noticed that laws are abided 
when democracy rules their land
they now know that wars and hostality make people poor
And the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

Approximate translation to Swedish
Om cirka 50 år kommer jag kanske att sitta på ett moln och betrakta vår värld uppifrån! Förhoppningsvis är allt fint då!

Ser tillbaka från framtiden

En gång i tiden var vår värld skrämmande - den var befolkad av vissa människor
som var övertygade om att kraft behövdes
för att tämja folket i deras land
Men snart lärde de sig att det inte är någon väg att gå
Och solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Det eländiga året tjugo två rasade ett blodigt krig i världen
men krigsherren hade insett att det inte var någon mening
att slakta människorna i närheten
och dessutom hade ett otäckt virus attackerat hela jordklotet
Men solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Men nu i flera år är presidenterna och kungarna kloka
de har märkt att lagar följs
när demokratin styr deras land
de vet nu att krig och fientlighet gör människor fattiga
Och solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Don't be sad    
Don't be shy    
Don't give yourself to every guy

Don't be hard 
Don't be small            
Don't be anything at all

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But there's one thing 
I won't be me!

Don't be weak   
Do what's right   
Don't stay out too late at night

Don't be fat 
Don't be lazy  
Keep your mouth shut 
Don't act crazy

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But just one thing 
I won't be me!

Time will tell if you destroyed me
Or just simply took my joy
Could it be that I annoy you
Or did you wish you had a boy?

Don't be me
Just be them
Satisfy their every whim

Don't be real,
Don’t be ferocious
Don't reveal my real emotions

Okay Mom I won't
Okay Dad I'll be
Your nice little girl
But just one thing
I won’t be me!

Tougher Than The Rest

Dear friends - a genocide is going on!
Today, the 24:th of february 2023, is one year since Russia invaded Ukraine. The people of Ukraine have been subjected to enormous suffering.
We pray that the Russians end the war and go home.
We pray for the people of Ukraine.
Lyrics:
The Birds sing for Ukraine
The birds are singing for the people of Ukraine
who suffers a lot of bombs from the sky
The birds want to remove all danger from this folk
and they want all the kids to feel safe
This is the reason why they sing these lovely tunes
for the people of Ukraine


The birds are witnesses, they have seen who sent the bombs
they can not understand how cruel man can be
they have seen and they have heard the disgusting man in charge
for the terrible invasion force
This is the reason why they sing these lovely tunes
for the people of Ukraine

There are some hopes for an eternal peace some day
and that the warlord comes to an understanding of
the misdoings that he made against this innocent folk
and he asks for forgiveness some day
This is the reason why they sing these lovely tunes
for the people of Ukraine

The Birds sing for Ukraine

Dear friends,
Everyone can see what is happening in the world with war, climate change and crime. The United Nations doesn't seem to be able to crack down on those responsible for all the misery. One must turn to higher powers!
I will continue my protest songs as long as the world looks like it does today!


Please, show us the way

Dear Lord, can You please help us
we people down here on this earth
we need so much help from someone higher up
If You look at us now  - You may see
even if we are trying to do
the right things we are supposed to
it seems that all have gone wrong
We surely do need a strong and firm hand
to show us the way


Have You heard that people are slaughtered
by a terrible warlord in the east
he sends a lot of bombs and more explosives
over innocent folks - and also small kids
There are also many places on earth
where evil gangsters are raging
could You please make them change their way
We surely do need a strong and firm hand
to show us the way


The warriors don’t care that the actions of war
result in release of the gas
that harms the delicate athmosphere above our heads
the results are the storms around the world
and the people in the poor countries are
those who are suffering the present days
it’s urgent that You talk to them today
We surely do need a strong and firm hand
to show us the way

Please show us the way

Songster version was a little ‘copla’ about not being able to be with, nor without, a loved person.  As usual, I’ve ‘upgraded’ it, process from which you only get the final result, normally. 

But, following lyrics’ contradictions, I not only serve parts with different levels of (dis)order in heavy rock - flamenco sauce, but raw vs very cooked parts as well, starting with the improvised phone recording of the very first idea I had to develop the song, so please excuse my failures and noises.

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)  /  I know where you're coming from (Don’t you leave again)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pena,        /  when you come with that sweet sad face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes llorando sin que te duela,     /  when you come crying without any pain,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando dices que quieres hablar conmigo,  /  when you say that you want to talk to me,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando quieres estar al lado mío,                /  when you want to be by my side,

te veo venir (x3)                                           /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pilla,          /  when you come with that sweet sly face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa sonrisa, chiquilla,    /  when you come with that smile, little girl,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Lullaby For The Forgotten One

FIRST OF ALL, I WILL SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO MY SONGS - LOVE YOU ALL!!

Dear friends, I worry more and more about the state of the earth! More and more wars flare up, the climate is worrying with natural disasters as a result! Strong malevolent rulers emerge and succeed in egging the population of the respective countries. History has shown how it goes - I think of such men as Hitler and others! The war causes huge emissions of greenhouse gases! Instead, use the soldiers to plant trees and fight the terrible forest fires!

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.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=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. I was head of the department of Intensive and perioperative Care in Lund, Sweden the last years. After that I have got the possibility to be dedicated to music. 
My songs are a matter of extreme happiness and extreme sadness. 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".
