Balladen om 70-talets största rockband by Magnus Uggla English translation “The Ballad of the Greatest Rock Band of the ‘70s”
At Kåren 1971, my friend brought me one day
We were going to check out a cool band, which we were told was going to be really good
And a few minutes after the band had started
Yes, the whole place was swinging, and everyone sang along to their song
Oh, what an experience, what a wonderful experience
Oh, what an experience, what a god damned experience!
What an experience
What a wonderful experience
And after half the concert, the music quieted down
And a singer wearing dark sunglasses sat down at the piano
It was the best I had ever heard, when the voice cut through the dark
Yes, my entire body was shaking, I can’t tell you what it was
I’ll try to put it into words, but I think it must be witnessed
But that kind of music doesn’t exist today, and it probably never will again
Oh, what an experience, what a wonderful experience
Oh, what an experience, what a god damned experience!
What an experience
What a wonderful experience
When I left that place, there was a voice in my heart that said
That singer with the big frizzy hair might as well be me
And now when I stand on stage, I remember every time
When the singer with the broken voice sang: “When my mind’s gone”
Oh, what an experience, what a wonderful experience
Oh, what an experience, what a god damned experience!
Oh, what an experience, what a wonderful experience
Oh, what an experience, what a god damned experience!
What an experience
What a wonderful experience
