ALWAYS REMEMBER what is important in life
The Danish
songwriter- opera singer – actor Poul Bundgaard wrote - and performed - a song called “Always
Remember”.
I love the
message and would like to share it with you because I believe it is my favorite
song that Poul Bundgaard has ever written and performed.
Here is the translation:
We always say “See you later” and
believe it too.
Suddenly destiny will be a goodbye.
Therefore, every girl, every boy,
whatever you believe
And whatever gift you have here on
earth
Always remember.
Try to Understand.
Life must be lived every day.
Take care of your time.
Use all your talents.
Maybe it will be a short time
Before you leave.
These were the words
That I learned from my mother:
“You have to help me
When you grow up.”
Now she is gone,
but I still hear on my way
Hear the voice
That taught me:
Always remember
Try to Understand
Life must be lived every day.
Take care of your time.
Use all your diligence
Maybe it will be a short time
Before you leave.
The years are gone
And the hours are lived
I have accomplished a bit
But not nearly enough.
What is not accomplished
The children can try to do
And the verse from Farmor*
Maybe try to understand:
Always remember
Try to Understand
Life must be lived every day.
Take care of your time.
Use all your diligence
Maybe it will be a short time
Before you leave.

His message to us is so important. We run too fast and don’t make enough
time for the important things and sometimes it becomes “too late”.

Bundgaard never took himself very serious.
As a matter of fact, even though he played in numerous of movies that
became famous – f.ex. “Olsen Banden” he always had fear of the stage.

HUSK ALTID PAA
By Poul Bundgaard – 1922-1998
Vi siger altid paa gensyn, og tror det selv
Pludselig vil skœbnen blive et farvel.
Derfor hver pige, hver dreng hvad I
ellers tror
Blive der gaven, I fik paa jord
Husk altid paa
Prøv at forstaa
Livet skal leves hver eneste dag
Pas paa din tid
Brug al din flid
Maaske er det kort
Før du skal bort
Saadan lyder ordene
Jeg laerte dem af min Mor
I skulle hjœlpe mig
Naar jeg blir stor
Nu er hun borte
Men stadig jeg paa min vej
Hører den stemme
Der laerte mig:
Husk altid paa
Prøv at forstaa
Livet skal leves hver eneste dag
Pas paa din tid
Brug al din flid
Maaske er det kort
Før du skal bort
Aarene er gaaet
Og timerne levet op
Lidt har jeg naaet
Men langt, langt fra nok.
Al det der mangler
Kan børnene prøve at naa
Og verset fra FARMOR
Maaske forstaa:
Husk altid paa
Prøv at forstaa
Livet skal leves hver eneste dag
Pas paa din tid
Brug al din flid
Maaske er det kort
Før du skal bort.

FARMOR means “Dad’s Mother”
