Does someone has the original text of this poem in the movie:

You are my sun
you shine over me
you warm me
but I can't touch you
you are so far out.
I am a little planet
which turns around you
round round round
by all the planets
which you never see.

Hi Jari,
That poem was written by the director of Fucking Åmål, Lukas Moodysson, and you can find the original sweden text in http://www.oebfa.com/index.php?lang_id=en&page_id=19 or in the translation of Agnes' diary (http://www.elvish.org/elm/trans.html)

Regards

Thanks for the link, edu! But you forgot to mention the real sensation, which is that the page not only includes the Swedish and English versions of Agnes's poem, but also a translation into Quenya! :shock: This opens up an entirely new dimension...

Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!

Oh, sorry, I completely forgot to mention it.
We should find a DVD with Quenya subtitles. We probably won't understand any word, but it would be exciting. ^O^
By the way, where can I find a Klingon translation of the poem? :|

Hi fraks,
Quenya is one of the languages spoken by the Elves in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien.

Or one into Vogon... Vogon poetry is of course, as one knows, the third worst in the universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. But the very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Agnes Ahlberg of Åmål, Sverige, in the destruction of the planet Earth... :T :lol: :lol: (Time to go to sleep).
