wow, never realised until now that you are a Northerner by birth!
Coincidentally the pirate station I am currently listening to from Drenthe just played one of the (many) versions of Böhmische Traum, the most popular one on the pirates is from about 35-40 years ago and has the lyrics sung by a Jungen of about 10-12 years, who performed in a duo with his sister.
Presumably the lyrics are directed towards a different Mädel of a similar agegroup :laugh_at:
Wenn ich träum in der Nacht, träum ich immer von dir,
du bist der hellste Stern in dieser schönen Nacht.
Und der Stern sagt zu mir: Ich bleib gerne bei dir,
bis dass der Morgen erwacht.
Dann such ich deine Hand
und es wird mir ganz klar.
Du bist der Stern,der im Morgenrot verschwand,
doch es wär wunderschön bis ans Ende der Zeit mit dir
zu gehn Hand in Hand.
also found this from a printout of a 1950s era radio design handbook (much still valid today but I gave up on it as I had to keep converting loads of stuff to metric…)
Celestions design labs (and the EU compliance tests for GP batteries) are now just down the road from one place I work at…
