Something to get everyone jazzed about Eurovision 2003

So here's a little taste of what's to come. "Genom Eld Och Vatten" is by faaaaaaaaaaaaar my absolute Favorite song of Melodifestivalen 2003, and is quite simply one of the best Melodifestivalen entries ever. Anywho, I've spent a lot of time listening, loving, dancing and singing to it, and over time, i've created my own English version.  Here it is - (Comments would be treasured) -

Swedish Lyrics with English Translation -


Jag har inte silver och inte guld
I have not silver and not gold
Inget du kan få
Nothing you can get
Det jag äger ligger blottat för din syn
What I own is exposed to your sight
Mina händer är tomma men hjärtat fullt
My hands are empty, but a heart full
Av nåt du inte ser
Of something you do not see
Så jag har nånting som är mera värt ändå
So I have something that is worth more anyway

För om du tappar modet och faller ner på knä
Because if you become discouraged and fall down on my knees
Kan du vila här hos mig
Can you sleep with me
Som en klippa i stormen att luta dig mot
As a rock in the storm to lean on
Och jag sviker aldrig dig
And I never betray you

Jag ska följa dig genom eld och Vatten
I will follow you through fire and water
Över land och hav
Over land and sea
Jag ska älska dig tills hjärtat slutar slå
I will love you until the heart stops beating
Från det högsta berg till den djupaste av dalar ska jag gå
From the highest mountain to the deepest of valleys, I will go
Genom tid och rum ja alla mina dagar ska du få
Through time and space so all my days you get

Och när vindarna leker på vidderna, dansar jag med dig
And when the winds play on the plains, I dance with you
Om solen bränner svalkar jag din hud
If the sun burns my cool skin

För om du tappar modet och faller ner på knä
Because if you become discouraged and fall down on my knees
Kan du vila här hos mig
Can you sleep with me
Som en klippa i stormen att luta dig mot
As a rock in the storm to lean on
Och jag sviker aldrig dig
And I never betray you

Jag ska följa dig genom eld och Vatten
I will follow you through fire and water
Över land och hav
Over land and sea
Jag ska älska dig tills hjärtat slutar slå
I will love you until the heart stops beating
Från det högsta berg till den djupaste av dalar ska jag gå
From the highest mountain to the deepest of valleys, I will go
Genom tid och rum ja alla mina dagar ska du få
Through time and space so all my days you get

Jag ska följa dig genom eld och vatten
I will follow you through fire and water
Över land och hav
Over and land and sea
Genom tid och rum ja alla mina dagar ska du få
Through time and space all my days you get
Genom tid och rum ja alla mina dagar ska du få
Through time and space all my days you get

My Song - 
Oh, I don’t have silver, I don’t have gold
Your love I cannot buy
But I’ll be your treasure if you will be my guide
Oh, my hands are bare, but my heart is full
It’s all to do with you
So I have nothing but a heart to give to you

And when you lose heart, wanna turn around and run
I will keep you safe with me
Like a ship at sea, You can always count on me
However lost you may be

And I’ll follow you through fire and water
Over land and sea
I will love you til my heart beats it’s last beat
From the highest mount to the deepest sea, wherever you may roam
Just look to me and my heart will always guide you home

And though winds may blow and storms may come, I’ll always dance for you
And when you get hot, my love will cool your skin

And when you lose heart, wanna turn around and run
I will keep you safe with me
Like a ship at sea, You can always count on me
However lost you may be

And I’ll follow you through fire and water
Over land and sea
I will love you til my heart beats it’s last beat
From the highest mount to the deepest sea, wherever you may roam
Just look to me and my heart will always guide you home

And I’ll follow you through fire and water
Over land and sea
Just look to me and my heart will always guide you home
Just look to me and my heart will always guide you home
