Translation by Sonya L. Revision by Katie A.
I decided a long time ago that I’ll never fall in love again
But then you appeared, my kitten-kitten-kitten-kitten
I was independent, but now it’s so boring without you
You break my heart, you play with my soul
And I don’t mind, let people laugh at me
But as soon as I fall asleep, my bunny-bunny-bunny
You’re right here, and I grow wings on my back
And flying above the ground, I’m dreaming only about one thing

Music and lyrics by Alexander Rybak
I, feel it in the air tonight,
Your eyes, tell me something just ain’t right,
You, treat me with your silky gloves,
We talk, ’bout everything except for love.
A sense, perfume from the night before,
I pray, that someday you will cheat no more,
Again, you have caused my heart to bleed,
Still, you’re the only one I need.

Genom ljumma gator far
man i öppna bilar.
Genom sommarnatten blå
kor och hästar vilar.
På en höjd blir luften sval,
värmen kommer i en dal
och i stugan väntar frugan
med en brasa varm och skön.
Ungarna kan inte sova,
fast de läst sin aftonbön.

Det går en vind över vindens ängar,
det fladdrar till i en tyllgardin
och jag ska skriva en sommarvisa
med sol och blomdoft i melodin.

You’re standing right in front of me
with yet a purpose I can’t see
I wish I knew what’s on your mind
but that’s a key I’ll never find
Music and lyrics by Alexander Rybak
Far from a place where I am writing the song,
There is a girl to whom my heart belongs.
She doesn’t know that I’m thinking of her,
But again – that’s not the point.
Music: Alexander Rybak
Lyrics: Alexander Rybak, Thomas Wærnes
I used to be in search for beauty
Used to be in search for grace
Now I see your lakes, your forests
You have put a smile on my face
On 15 July 2009 a new thread was created on Planet Rybak, a newborn then. It was the thread called “Fans own poems and lyrics”, made by Marianne Saietz. During the last year this thread has inspired many Facebookies to express their feelings by creating hundreds of excellent poems! It has also given birth to four SONG BOOKS released by the Facebookies so far, and counting! It has been the earliest sign of the world-famous Facebookies creativity!
On 15 July 2010 we are celebrating its birthday. You are all invited to leave a rhyme, a limerick, a poem, anything 🙂
Link to the thread (threads have been closed by FB, so the link doesn’t work anymore):

Sample poem, by Marianne:
SLEEP
And finally, the fans will sleep And no one will the facebook keep The latest topic now must wait The wild ideas can hesitate The cleaning-people sweeps the floor clean up the links and threads and more The lights go out and all is shade And even words stay up too late
