| Warren Zevon – Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Although the deal was made in Denmark, Roland was a norwegian! (Norway's bravest son.) Her is a translation from Norwegian to English of the ancient Roland Poem: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/rolandskvadet-lay-roland.html This ancient poem exists in many variations around Europe. I think Zevon's song is inspired og this poem. Why WZ chose Norway as Rolands homeland I'm not shure, but maybe it is a comment to the Nobel Peace Prize that Norway has the responsibility for giving out. All the other Nobel prizes has the Swedes responsibility for! |
