🎵 My friend Bengt Erik, what a deeply moving and important message you've crafted here! The way your gentle voice carries these powerful words about the voiceless is truly touching ✨ Your guitar work provides the perfect backdrop for this crucial storytelling 🎸 Love how you give voice to those who can't speak for themselves - the children, the suffering, the oppressed 💫 The lyrics are both poetic and profound, calling us all to listen more carefully 🌟 Such a meaningful contribution to peace and understanding ❤️ Beautiful folk craftsmanship with a vital message for humanity! 🕊️

It's already the 21st century but those situations still exist and seems there;s  nothing we can do about it.  Thanks for the lovely song for ventilation of feelings.

Wonderful song, love how patient it is, your words are heard, they resonate, beautiful!

Paroles / Lyrics
Ma fille, mon enfant 
Je vois venir le temps 
Où tu vas me quitter 
Pour changer de saison 
Pour changer de maison 
Pour changer d'habitudes 
J'y pense chaque soir 
En guettant du regard 
Ton enfance qui joue 
A rompre les amarres 
Et me laisse le goût 
D'un accord de guitare 

Tu as tant voyagé 
Et moi de mon côté 
J'étais souvent parti 
Des Indes à l'Angleterre 
On a couru la Terre 
Et pas toujours ensemble 
Mais à chaque retour 
Nos mains se rejoignaient 
Sur le dos de velours 
D'un chien qui nous aimait 
C'était notre façon 
D'être bons compagnons 

Mon enfant, mon petit 
Bonne route... Bonne route 
Tu prends le train pour la vie 
Et ton cœur va changer de pays 

Ma fille, tu as vingt ans 
Et j'attends le moment 
Du premier rendez-vous
Que tu me donneras 
Chez toi ou bien chez moi 
Ou sur une terrasse 
Où nous évoquerons 
Un rire au coin des yeux 
Le chat ou le poisson 
Qui partageaient nos jeux 
Où nous épellerons 
Les années de ton nom 

A vivre sous mon toit 
Il me semble parfois 
Que je t'avais perdue 
Je vais te retrouver 
Je vais me retrouver 
Dans chacun de tes gestes 
On s'est quittés parents 
On se retrouve amis
Ce sera mieux qu'avant 
Je n'aurai pas vieilli 
Je viendrai simplement 
Partager tes vingt ans 

Mon enfant, mon petit 
Bonne route... Bonne route 
Sur le chemin de la vie 
Nos deux cœurs vont changer de pays

Ma Fille - Serge Reggiani (cover by Dominique Briand)

I always put you up on a pedestal - And you would prove me right every time - And every day my life's been better still - I never let you off my mind
I always thought that it be better by now - I always seem to let you down - I'm trying hard but babe it's bred in me - Please don't leave me upside down
And there's a cold wind blowing from the north and i worry about us all the time - with the distance growing and sharp hollow notions we're oblivious through it all
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - i saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me - it'll always be safe with me
I always thought that we'd be better by now - I never seemed to let this go
Walking away babe is so damn hard - when you're all I've ever known
And there's a warm wind blowing from the west and so much i need to get off of my chest - I didn't mean to hurt you but i am flawed - believe me baby I'm doing my best
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - I saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me
It'll always be safe with me
It'll always be safe with me safe with me
It'll always be safe

Safe with me

Enigma #156

Nothing’s ever easy now.

in recognition of mental health awareness week..............the blues parade has often passed my way.........peace & cheers for having a listen........



hear that rumble over the hill
shaking the glass from the window sills 
hide the money and lock the tills
here comes the blue parade

in the distance hear that noise
no need to be alarmed there boys
just keep it straight and hold your course
it's just the blue parade

it'll start real early, break of dawn
won't get much sleep from the night before
better nail down the shutters and deck the halls
here comes the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to the pipers song
hands get sweaty yea it won't take long
here comes the blue parade

you might meet someone, head hung low
not much to say nowhere to go
together you can try and mend your souls
among the blue parade

you might be strangers when you start 
when the dust settles you'll never part
cos you made a pact with the bleeding hearts
now you're part of the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to the pipers song
heart starts thumping yea it won't take long
here comes the blue parade

step in time march 4 to the floor
people be staring, don't matter no more
cos you sold the sink and the kitchen door
to join the blue parade

hear them blow their whistles. colors bright
seems to me to be a hell of a night
but if you look inside you'll get a fright
yea that's the blue parade

aint the time to think if what you're doing's right
just stay in line and keep your mouth shut tight
you're about to take the ride of your life
here comes the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to that pipers song
god help me where did i go wrong
to end up in the blue parade
here comes the blue parade

The Blue Parade

White Lies

I heard today that a ceasefire has been decided in the Middle East from January 19, 2025. So good for the population! And YES, the ceasefire in the Middle East was implemented. Now we hope it lasts!
Oh, so much news reaching us world citizens. It's uneasy both here and there. We expect a ceasefire in the Middle East in two days. Hope it goes through! Then we have the war against Ukraine - it's written in the stars how it will go here!

News

I sit here and I look through my window panthe winter storms are raging and the snow falls down
the news reach me and I am surprised how all things can go wrong
there are those fires in the states
I feel so pity for those folks


The peace in the Baltic sea seems to be threatened now
there are some vessels who destroyed several cables on the bottom of the sea
they call it hybrid war which may be the new way to be bad
we really hope that it will stay
with these insidious attacks


When the world has been troubled, the politics seems to shift 
from democracy to the harder right wings  
One can see this in Europe and also in other parts of the world.
this is so bad for the poor
who usually gets hurt


I wonder what has happened in the Middle east
they discussed a ceasefire - but how long will it take
to come to a decision down there so the people can breathe out
I feel so pity for these folks
who suffer so much

Dear friends, missiles are raining down on Ukraine every day!!!
This is a fairy tale about a nine-year old girl and her little three-year old brother.
Today I heard a voice from Gaza: "NOW WE CAN HEAR THE BIRDS AGAIN!"
I really hope that the people in Ukraine soon can hear the birds!

Those Two keep Together

They are the only who survived after the digusting attack
against the house where they were born
and their appartment was on the third floor
They just remember the flash of light
and that their father screemed- kids You must get out
The Year twentyfour was a terrrible year
that noone ever in the world could imagine

It was the missiles from the east falling down on their house
where they have lived for several years
they were a family consisting of several kids
and also daddy and their mom
and also Granddad and Grandma was there
The Year twentyfour was a terrrible year
that noone ever in the world could imagine

the little girl of only nine found her little brother of only three
under the masses of broken bricks
he laid his lovely little arm around her neck
and then she felt the love from him
I will not ever leave You my love
The Year twentyfour was a terrrible year
that noone ever in the world could imagine

They wrote a letter to the guy who is shooting at them
please stop the shooting- we don’t feel well
and have You seen all the men that You have lost
we do believe that You were wrong
when You entered the land of ours
We certainly hope that the year of twentyfive
will be a peaceful year without casualties

Those Two keep Together - 2025-01-20 12.36 (Lyrics in description)

Dear friends, this is a song for the weak people of the world

Silent Words

Have You heard those silent words that come from the smallest ones
They are the people that seldom are heard
They are so small and they can’t compete
with the guys that screem so loud
and noone listen to the words they say
we need to clear our ears so we can hear their voice


The children are silent when they suffer from something bad
we have seen pictures from Palestine and Ukraine
their eyes are empty reflecting pain
and the tears have now run out
and noone listen to the words they say
we need to clear our ears so we can hear their voice


In some parts of our cruel world the women don’t dare to speak
it is so strange that it can be like that
these women speak with some silent words
but in the future we will hear
what they say with their silent words
we need to clear our ears so we can hear their voice

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.

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 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".
