164/365 Songs: Lätt som en sommarfjäril – Benny Anderssons Orkester
After my previous performances for Norway’s National Day on 17th May, I realised today that I’d completely forgotten Sweden’s National Day on 6th June. This song is therefore a belated dedication to all my Swedish friends – and Benny Anderssons Orkester fans everywhere! The song Lätt som en sommarfjäril (Light as a butterfly) was performed by Helen Sjöholm at the BAO concert last June in Stockholm. It’s a beautiful, simple song and if you’d like to find out more, here’s a YouTube version with an English translation of the Swedish lyrics.
