Yesterday morning I posted a video of a Ridvan song in Japanese as part of a series of videos that I will be sharing for the 12 Days of Ridvan. The video shares beautiful photographs of the Ridvan garden and there is a sweet surprise at the end.
The English and Arabic versions have already been posted so if you missed them, click on the links to view them.
Below is the video for the Ridvan song in Swedish sung by talented musician, Ann-Sofie Wensbo. I had heard Ann-Sofie’s voice before and was touched by the pure tone of her vocals. I was lucky to find Ann-Sofie through a close friend of mine from Sweden who found her Ann-Sofie’s contact for me. She graciously accepted to record the Swedish vocals.
I look forward to sharing the next video on the blog tomorrow. Kindly share with friends you know who speak Swedish.
Lyrics:
“Jubla i yttersta glädje, o Bahás folk, när ni påminner er den största lyckans dag,”
Rejoice with exceeding gladness, O people of Bahá, as ye call to remembrance the Day of supreme felicity… -Bahá’u’lláh
Allah’u’Abha
