Congratulations to Fredericia Musicalteater with the (critically acclaimed) premiere this week - can't wait to see it in Copenhagen!✨ Here is the new danish lyrics as well as a direct english translation (use a computer). *New danish lyrics (2024):* *Directly translated:* No’ed i mig er forandret Something in me has changed No’ed føles ik’ som før Something doesn’t feel like before Kan ikke læng’re følge Can no longer follow regler andre si’r jeg bør rules others say I should Kan ikke vende om nu, Can not turn back now Bar’ falde i søvn igen Just fall asleep again Det’ nu jeg slipper frygten, It’s now I let go of the fear Nu jeg ta’r det… spring Now I take that… leap Der gør mig fri That makes me free af andres tyngdekraft of others’ gravity Kan ikke bli’ Can not stay i andres tyngdekraft in others’ gravity Og aldrig se tilbage And never look back Jeg sprænger alle grænser, I break all limits Jeg ikke selv har valgt I have not chosen myself Hvem ved hvad jeg kan ændre, Who knows what I can change Hvis jeg ik’ har prøvet alt? If I haven’t tried everything? Var bange for at miste Was scared of losing Og hvis det er kærlighed, And if it is love Kan kærligheden for min skyld Can love for my sake lade mig vær’ i fred leave me alone Vil gør' mig fri Will make myself free af andres tyngdekraft of others’ gravity Kan ikke leve Can not live i andres tyngdekraft in others’ gravity Og aldrig se tilbage And never look back Uendelig Unlimited Vor’s fremtid er uendelig Our future is unlimited Jeg ved vi kan bli’ I know we can become det bedste hold i hele Oz the best team in all of Oz Glinda, vi to sprænger rammen Glinda, the two of us breaks the frame (exceeds standards) Hvis vi gør det sammen If we do it together Ingen vil ku’ undgå os Nobody will be able to avoid us
Men vi vil mærke But we will feel vores tyngdekraft our gravity Lad verden mærke Let the world feel vores tyngdekraft our gravity Vi ser os ik’ tilbage We aren't looking back
Så se mod vest og find mig! Then look west and find me! Det himmelhvælv bli’r mit That firmament will be mine Som nogen sagde for nyligt: As someone said recently: “Alle har fortjent at flyve frit” ”Everyone has deserved to fly freely” Jeg bli’r måske alene I’m perhaps going to be alone Der’ værre ting at bli’ There are worse things to be De holdt mig nede They kept me down I kan hilse dem og si’ You can greet them and say Fra nu af lever jeg From now on I am living uden tyngdekraft without gravity Lad verden se Let the world see at ingens tyngdekraft that no one’s gravity Kan tøjre den jeg bli’r i dag Can tether who I become today
Og intet væsen noget sted And no being anywhere Ingen troldmand No wizard ingen kan regne med no one can count on Får lov at holde mig… tilbage! Is allowed to hold me... back! Mig tilbage Me back AAAAAAAAH!💚
Just saw this Thursday in Fredericia and it was amazing, they were amazing. I sadly do not forstår meget dansk so could not follow it well but their ability to act, sing and dance to get their characters across was superb.
Saw the show in Fredericia last week and even though I don't speak or understand Danish (only a couple of words and simple phrases), I loved every second of it! 💚 Amazing cast!!! Loved Nanna and Johanne. 😍 And Diluckshan of course, who I was there for, haha 🥰
Selv tak :) Der har desværre ikke været flere live optrædener med det nye Wicked-hold (indtil nu), og tvivler på der bliver flere. Har desværre heller ikke kunne finde øvrige optagelser nogen steder. Håber dog meget på et dansk live-album, da der i foyeren på Fredericia Musicalteater blev spillet sangene på dansk. Hvem ved🤞
@@veraelphie0306 I actually thought of making a comparison/direct translation like someone did on UA-cam when the first danish production of Wicked ran in Denmark in 2012: ua-cam.com/video/Xn4UB5vDvkg/v-deo.htmlsi=3l6slLaTS99aRiVB Meaning this is the second production, furthermore with a brand new translation - lemme know if a video like that would be interesting. Anway: I actually think the translator, Mads Æbelø, did a good job with DG. I like how he in some places reconstructed sentences to help with the flow. For instance; “So if you care to find me, look to the western sky” // “Så se mod vest og find mig, det himmelhvælv bli’r mit” = “Then look towards West and find me, that firmament will be mine". Additionally, in the first danish translation there was quite a bit of difficult “e”-vowels on the really high notes… The only thing that isn’t very pleasing in my ears is THE word for “gravity” in danish - tyngdekraft. It’s just not as smooth as in english, however as far as I know there’s a lot of other languages with the same translation struggle, haha
While "tyngdekraft" is not a perfect word to sing, it's FAR better than the first translation, where Elphaba was made to sing about how her wings could carry her. My first thought when I heard that version was: "What idiot translated this? She's flying with a broomstick!". This makes sense, and the essential parts of the text remains. I'll never be a fan of translating musicals. Too much literally gets lost in translation. But someone did a good job here.
@@Luka1180, since I'm Danish, AND have studied Danish at the University of Copenhagen, I'm very well aware of this. It is however not a good translation, when she's flying with a broom, no matter how symbolic it may be.
Just pitching in here, as I do have a channel, with partly focus on putting subtitles and translation to danish dubbed songs from movies etc. I have just watched the Wicked movie, and it’s interesting how the danish lyrics there are almost the same as this stage version, EXCEPT for the chorus. In this stage version, they for example sing “jeg lever uden tyngdekraft” = I live without gravity. The movie version, she sings for example “siger farvel, til det der tynger mig” = saying goodbye to what is weighing me down. So the stage version chorus uses a more direct translation of gravity from the original, while the movie version rephrases it, to something that is weighing her down. I do feel the movie chorus translates better into singing and the melody, than the new stage version does. Both are better than the old stage adaptation though, in my opinion.

Congratulations to Fredericia Musicalteater with the (critically acclaimed) premiere this week - can't wait to see it in Copenhagen!✨
Here is the new danish lyrics as well as a direct english translation (use a computer).
*New danish lyrics (2024):* *Directly translated:*
No’ed i mig er forandret Something in me has changed
No’ed føles ik’ som før Something doesn’t feel like before
Kan ikke læng’re følge Can no longer follow
regler andre si’r jeg bør rules others say I should
Kan ikke vende om nu, Can not turn back now
Bar’ falde i søvn igen Just fall asleep again
Det’ nu jeg slipper frygten, It’s now I let go of the fear
Nu jeg ta’r det… spring Now I take that… leap
Der gør mig fri That makes me free
af andres tyngdekraft of others’ gravity
Kan ikke bli’ Can not stay
i andres tyngdekraft in others’ gravity
Og aldrig se tilbage And never look back
Jeg sprænger alle grænser, I break all limits
Jeg ikke selv har valgt I have not chosen myself
Hvem ved hvad jeg kan ændre, Who knows what I can change
Hvis jeg ik’ har prøvet alt? If I haven’t tried everything?
Var bange for at miste Was scared of losing
Og hvis det er kærlighed, And if it is love
Kan kærligheden for min skyld Can love for my sake
lade mig vær’ i fred leave me alone
Vil gør' mig fri Will make myself free
af andres tyngdekraft of others’ gravity
Kan ikke leve Can not live
i andres tyngdekraft in others’ gravity
Og aldrig se tilbage And never look back
Uendelig Unlimited
Vor’s fremtid er uendelig Our future is unlimited
Jeg ved vi kan bli’ I know we can become
det bedste hold i hele Oz the best team in all of Oz
Glinda, vi to sprænger rammen Glinda, the two of us breaks the frame (exceeds standards)
Hvis vi gør det sammen If we do it together
Ingen vil ku’ undgå os Nobody will be able to avoid us
Men vi vil mærke But we will feel
vores tyngdekraft our gravity
Lad verden mærke Let the world feel
vores tyngdekraft our gravity
Vi ser os ik’ tilbage We aren't looking back
Så se mod vest og find mig! Then look west and find me!
Det himmelhvælv bli’r mit That firmament will be mine
Som nogen sagde for nyligt: As someone said recently:
“Alle har fortjent at flyve frit” ”Everyone has deserved to fly freely”
Jeg bli’r måske alene I’m perhaps going to be alone
Der’ værre ting at bli’ There are worse things to be
De holdt mig nede They kept me down
I kan hilse dem og si’ You can greet them and say
Fra nu af lever jeg From now on I am living
uden tyngdekraft without gravity
Lad verden se Let the world see
at ingens tyngdekraft that no one’s gravity
Kan tøjre den jeg bli’r i dag Can tether who I become today
Og intet væsen noget sted And no being anywhere
Ingen troldmand No wizard
ingen kan regne med no one can count on
Får lov at holde mig… tilbage! Is allowed to hold me... back!
Mig tilbage Me back
AAAAAAAAH!💚

Tak for at uploade denne her. Har du flere fra den danske opsætning af wicked?
Selv tak :) Der har desværre ikke været flere live optrædener med det nye Wicked-hold (indtil nu), og tvivler på der bliver flere. Har desværre heller ikke kunne finde øvrige optagelser nogen steder.

@ man kan vel håbe🤞🏻 Gad virkelig godt en fuld version af “Popular” Hende Johanne synger så godt🤩

@@limelrachar set den før. Høre den bare på repeat, da jeg jo ikke kan høre hele sangen🥹
jeg har uploadet nogle af sangene!
can Danish speakers give their input on the new lyrics? If they're good/bad overall, better/worse compared to the original production?

@@Raztiana "Vinger bærer" is a Danish idiom which is often not used literally in the Danish language.
