147. Hand in hand

After the previous text “146. The banners” April 14, where I wrote about the Norwegian movie “By og land hand i hand” (Town and country hand in hand) from 1937; I started to think about a Swedish song from 1967, “Vi ska gå hand i hand” (We shall walk hand in hand). Both these titles have the words “hand in hand”. The movie from 1937 is about the labor movement, the song from 1967 is about a marriage.

Immediately I think; that the criminals can have influenced to a movie about the labor movement, which they want to ruin; and they can have influenced to a song about the marriage, which they also want to ruin. The movie from 1937 is mad by the labor movement, and the director, the poet, the musician, and the actors; are attached to the labor movement. They who mad the song from 1967, are individual people.

I think there is something or other here. The criminals want to ruin the labor movement and the workers’ political development; and they want to ruin the marriage and the families.

I also think about that the criminals have wanted to influence all kinds of cultural activities. They have wanted to influence the people away from organized political activity. And they have wanted to influence the people to only care about oneself and one’s own, and not understand about how our common situation slowly develops against all of us; as I wrote about in the text “144. It became as nothing” April 12, under the third dividing dot.

I think the criminals have influenced all sides of our societies, in ways we don’t understand immediately. That is because we haven’t thought about something like this. We all are victims of these influences in different ways. It isn’t only the labor movement these criminals have ruined, they have ruined everything. And that is also the situation, these criminals have ruined for all kinds of different social groups and people. I think this has been in progress for a very long time now.

These influences have caused different genres and styles, which has changed as time goes by. Artists have always been influenced by genres and styles. What is special with this, is how the criminals hide how they influence cultural activities.

This text is only a few fast words, which occurred to me just now. Below I have translate the text from the Swedish song “Vi ska gå hand i hand” to English.

We shall walk hand in hand

Do you still remember how it was
when we met you and I?
You was everything for me
because I saw only you.
And I felt at once
it is you I want to have.
And I still remember the words
I said:

We shall walk hand in hand
through the life you and I.
Although it happens at times
that we become sad someday.
We shall comfort each other.
That is how it shall be.
We shall walk hand in hand, you and I.

I can see still today
how we walked there you and I.
Upwards the altar’s aisle
and with organ peal and song.
When we get married and the clergyman blessed us two.
I can remember what I
thought then.

We shall walk hand in hand
through the life you and I.
Although it happens at times
that we become sad someday.
We shall comfort each other.
That is how it shall be.
We shall walk hand in hand, you and I.

After the years that have went by
I have learnt and understood.
That where the happiness shall live
it is love, hope and belief.
Because we love each other
and have it so good.
And I follow the words I said:

We shall walk hand in hand
through the life you and I.
Although it happens at times
that we become sad someday.
We shall comfort each other.
That is how it shall be.
We shall walk hand in hand, you and I.
We shall walk hand in hand, you and I.
