The latest from Two Swedish Gentlemen was somewhat of a surprise. For full orchestra, with Ollie on solo violin and Sven singing a Swedish/English love song! Information about the orchestra that accompanies is somewhat confusing, as it's the Sundström Chamber Orchestra which can be heard on a recording we issued few months back. This was an older recording sent to us by the brothers, so perhaps the group on the new recording is a reincarnation of it.
Whatever the case may be, Ollie plays a very tuneful and sweet violin solo. We had no idea he was so accomplished, as all we've heard from him was a folktune-like fiddling. And Sven sings in a smooth baritone with a surprising power. The brothers recorded this in Sweden, and outside of the recording file, any other information about the song is scant. We do know it is an original song written by both of them.
I know English enough to get by
Similarities there surely are
But my native tongue be Swedish
Can speak more directly from my heart
Jag Älskar Dig are the word to you
My precious love I will speak so true
Long to say I love you in Swedish
Jag Älskar Dig, I will always be true
See you walking, you don know I’m there
I can’t help but watch as you go by
I’ll have the courage someday and try
To tell you completely how I feel
Jag Älskar Dig are the word to you
My precious love I will speak so true
Long to say I love you in Swedish
Jag Älskar Dig, I will always be true
In my dream world, I’ll say it to you
And you’ll smile a smile only you can
You’ll take my hand and convey
Jag Älskar Dig Också you will say! (I love you too)
Jag Älskar Dig are the word to you
My precious love I will speak so true
Long to say I love you in Swedish
Jag Älskar Dig, I will always be true
