- English version of "Du måste finnas" from the musical "Kristina from Duvemåla".
From the twelfth day concert january 6 2010 in Stockholm.
English doesn't do this song justice. It just feels so much more powerful and emotional in swedish.
totally agree with you
Absolutely
@@sjpatrik2 The swedish language is underestimated in a lot of ways :)
I totally agree, even though I'm a native English speaker and don't know Swedish! I've read translations of the original to get a sense for the Swedish version, and I can tell that the original is much more powerful.
The lyrics between the english and swedish versions are quite different. I think the swedish version is more powerful and better tells the story about the doubt in god that Kristina has and is more true to the book(s) by Vilhelm Moberg that is the basis for the whole musical Kristina Från Duvemåla.
This version brings tears to my eyes.. but the Swedish version makes me cry
I'm with you there 🙏
Whether it's in Swedish or in English... This song always make me cry... It is so beautiful!!!
Oh, my world. I've never heard this English version before. It's so different from the Swedish lyrics, but still delivers the same message, and God it's good! And obviously Helen's performance is stunning and gives me goosebumps all over.
Why are they not standing??????? She deserves a standing ovation that was phenomenal ...!!!!!
In Swedish or English, Helen sings with every fibre of her being. A Magnificent Performance.
I just read for the very first time the plot summary to this musical, and I am beyond heartbroken. Devastated… 😢😢😢
I just listened to the full soundtrack for Kristina yesterday and the story is so heartbreaking and by the time we reached this song i was a sobbing mess 😭😭😭😭
This is one of the best performances by any artist ever!!
More recent years, Susan Boyle does an excellent rendition of this song!! Same as Helen, gives it her everything!!
Ja, plus mama med queen
6:02 I absolutely love the few seconds here, where you can see in her face that she is letting go of the character and doing a ‘reset’ , before she smiles and acknowledges the audience.
This song is a haunting masterpiece of brilliance - bringing together voice and production - wow
I feel it has its power in both languages!! Especially with this lady singing it!!
we, Swedes, love our Music, we feel it as a national treasure, she is bringing glory to our land.....
I am so blessed to live in the same time and country as this pearl.
And so you should. She is truly great. Hälsningar från Norge! :)
Reminds me of Job, how he was struggling within his soul why would God allow so much suffering in his life, the most beautiful thing that exists is the mystery of human suffering, everything we have is temporal, only God is eternal
Hellen could only be the best to perform this great song ❤️. But the genius of Benny and Bjorn of ABBA is undoubtedly incredible! God bless us all.
Helen is the Streisand of Sweden. I am so touched by everything she expresses..
I agree with you. I'm from Argentina and I've just discovered her. Her renditions of "Someone else's story", both in English and Swedish, are so intense and amazing. A real talent
claudette mousseau you should see her doing some funny performance too. She is a fantastic actor in those too.
Streisand lost her magic by the late 60’s, unfortunately.
Sjöholm is so much more than Streisand ever was. Streisand never got over her self-satisfaction, acquired in the 1960s. Sjöholm goes out to far greater limits vocally and dramatically. And then there’s that fantastic chemistry with Tommy Körberg, but that’s another story.
This gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it. She puts so much feeling into it that it's almost ridiculously emotional for me to hear this. And the swedish version is even more powerful for me.
She has a wonderful voice!!! she sings with her soul!!!
I just keep coming back to this - time and time and time again - sublime xx
Jag brukar inte ofta känna såhär... men Helen har faktiskt blivit ännu vackrare med åren... vilken underbar röst... jag ryser varje gång..
Jag tycker samma.👍
Håller med till 100 procent!
Håller med. Hon har alltid varit vacker men hon blir bara vackrare. Likt hennes musik som bara blir bättre ju mer man lyssnar.
Yes yes ❤❤❤❤❤RAa
Sveriges (till att börja med 😊) bästa röst 🎶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tack!!! Helen.... Björn & Benny för att ni finns!❤
I love you Helen. Please please come to Scotland or even the UK to perform
I have listened to this so many times and still cannot, not cry. She's unbelievable in the BEST way.
Helen is so so so so so so so so so incredible
Brilliant performance from an absolute STAR!!
Would love to hear Frida sing this.....
På svenska, denna låt är perfektion! The English version leaves me wanting.
Absolute Perfection!
No words to say how beautiful....
The Swedish version is so much more powerful, in her doubt, her anger, her anguish.
Amazing Voice 👍
This song 🎵 is another fantastic example of the beauty of Swedish partnership Andersson and Ulvaeus.
I love the song,she sing with feelings and she is so beautiful.anybody has the wording of this song.can you share me.
I come back to this so many times because it so timely in this day and age.What a brilliant performance.
Nevertheless....This Woman is incredible. She always sings with her heart.
Underbar gestaltning. DUÄR FENOMENAL solie deo gloria
I prefer the Swedish version, which is normal since in 99,9% of cases original versions are better than translations. But she is FANTASTIC in both renditions. WOW!!!
Oh no doubt about that- they're lucky to have Helen sing the English version as she knows the actual (Swedish) words, the character of Kristina & how powerful the whole piece/song is and what it's supposed to bring across better than Helen (our national treasure, bless her heart).
Btw how come Kristina från Duvemåla hasn't been on stage over here (UK) - anyone know? These are the sort of moments where I wish I was a producer haha I wouldn't even need to audition people I'd know exactly who to cast 🙌🏻🎭🎬🎹🎤👤👥👥👤
The English lyrics are very powerful and while staying as close as possible to the Swedish original, they have been written in a very artful way, too! The sit so well with the haunting music!
This is musical master piece, as is all their music.
This is a performance. In Swedish it is perfection.
Written by Benny and Bjorn. Magnificent.
Such power and beauty. The song and Helen.
Helen. Du är bara så BÄÄÄÄST !!! Det bästa Sverige har.
I'm in love with this song. I love both the English and the Swedish versions. It feels like the original is always best, though! Great performance!
incredible singing!
Du är så otroligt fantastiskt sångerska
Vilken underbar kvinna o vilken röst OOOOOOOoo.
Vilken känsla, vilken röst❤️
Awesome song! I'm obsessed. LOL
One of the best swedish singers of all time!
Live Performance Favorites und
I must have played this video a dozen times over the past months... each time I swear I will not tear (“teer”) up... each time I fail. The close-ups show this is coming from Helen’s soul. Bless you for keeping hope strong. ~Andy
Both Swedish & English versions cut my stomach with a knife, both are so powerful & pill you in. Magnificent performance by Helen & one of the best pieces written by Benny & Bjorn. It makes it even more painful when you realise Bjorn is an athiest like myself, but You Have To Be There is just damn moving. A
Outstanding
Are the audience asleep, do they not feel that this is one of the presentations of a well written B&B song EVER. Goosebumps every time, the first time I heard it in English I cried, it is so so moving, I questioned ny beliefs when I heard this. Amazing Performance. A
still so fantastic
This song, which I have only heard for the first time today, reminds me very much of “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Misérables. Some of the musical phrasing is identical.
What is it lord that you want that I am not seeing.
When I, at last, at last I am sleeping
And in fact, you replaced I Dreamed a Dream with this exact song and it’s lyrics, no one would even question the song, the lyrics, or indeed the sentiment.
Beautiful! ❤
she is amazing
I discovered this lady only some weeks ago. I am glad I did. She is wonderful.
Hon är fantastisk! Underbara Helen ♥
Helt underbart ❤
Absolutely brilliant! I keep watching it over and over.
Outstanding ..... simply outstanding ... yeees ...
Swedish version Lutheran, English version Catholic
Both are impressive. And Helen is a goddess.
How is the English version Catholic?
@@Miatpi The English one sounds more like a call for God, whereas in the Swedish one she has lost all faith. In Swedish the song speak truth to a lot of atheist's.
Spine tingling! Wow, what a performer!
HELEN sings from the very depth of her being . Just think of the listening pleasure that GOD gives humanity through HELEN and she gives thanks by singing THANKS to her very Creator.
Such Passion....she seems to be in a trance.....so much in the song.....I notice she sort of drops the mask right at end ....her more calm self wakes up or comes back. Amazing
Magnificent...
Watching this again...Helen is just so so powerful....she smoothly Belts it out...full passion and grimace showing so forcefully on her face. She becomes this song...is really ‘taken away ‘ by it...until at the end she pops out of the ‘trance ‘. Fantastic,. Really compare her last “mad” reach fir your hand.....then song ends and she blinked back awake to the real world of the stage, that sweet and innocent smile appears. Where or how did she go? Possessed. Passion.
I just watched the Boyle version, yeah, no contest.
Considero a voz de Helen uma das melhores do mundo . parabéns
She is so, so so SO fabulous. Love this song and how she sings it.
Awesome performance (and I love the lyrics; very moving, touching)
'You Have To be There' and 'When The Waves Roll Out To Sea' are the two most stunning compositions by Benny and Bjorn.
Who is to shave me if into the darkness I fall. A great song, asking the big questions.
OMG, no words for this performance and song. She brought me to tears, and that's rare for me..
What's the matter, does the audience have no ears or heart? What a cool response.
They're Swedish. We don't believe in showing emotions. ;)
Another great presentation of a powerful song by Helen, love her.
Stunning...
I think this song delivers a strong message in any language. The words are beautful whether in English, Swedish or outer Mongolian. I never make comparisons.
Never saw such feelings put into a song.You can feel the emotions going straight to the heart.
I like this song in English, but i LOVE it in Swedish...
And that for a Dutchie
Så himla vackert du sjunger, du påminner mig om min farmor som var nästan lika vacker. 💖
I found this due to Peter Joback,s "Gulget Blev Still Sand" Helen is amazing, I only speak english and this is beautiful to me. But Peter's English version of that song while great is not as moving. Though I don't understand what he's singing it moved me to my soul,
This makes my tears flow. Every time.
Beautiful
beautiful facial expressions you can see her soul through her beauty eyes.. can not be hidden ,ever
blew me away
Interesting that two men tended to write such brilliant music for women to sing. I could see Frida or Agnetha or both singing this magnificently. I kind of wish the women, even in their 70s, did an album together of B&B music they wrote outside of ABBA.
Bella canción hermosa voz bendiciones gracias
Finns inte ord att beskriva skönhetet i denna sång! Tårar på min kind var gång jag hör den!
Swedish version is 100000 powerful...she is perfect in both versions....love love love
hi
however
She sings straight in to my hart,
La música es vidad y amor bendiciones gracias
Yes, so Amazing!!
Tears to my eyes. Wunderwar!
This song is much stronger in swedish
what's it called in Swedish?
fontenayperi "Du måste finnas" :)
Inte jämförbart ens.
Svenska versionen är dock överlägsen.
Celine could not touch this perfformance.
Few if any could.
\
This is 10% of the swedish version, if that. This is a Shakespeare recital. The original is a knockout punch in a boxing match. They don’t even compare.
Swedes will ofcourse always like the swedish version better… We have to remember that the english version by Herbert Kretzmer is written for an international audience to make this musical available for them…
Hermoso tema interpretado por la grandísima Hellen
pekino makerino jabberino, what u saying my bro?
magnificant
The First Lady of Song!
Im a swede, and Hearst both version's and I have to say, I prefer this one over the Swedish version.
As another Swede. The Swedish version is superior!!
Amazing....
Please come to Scotland to do a concert
