1967, “Lyckliga gatan [ Happy Street]”, Britt Lindeborg (lyrics), Adriano Celentano (music)performed by Anna-Lena Löfgren:Lyckliga gatan, du finns inte mer. Du har försvunnit med hela kvarter. Tystnat har leken, tystnat har sången. Högt över marken svävar betongen. När jag kom åter var allt så förändrat. Trampat och skövlat, fördärvat och skändat. Skall mellan dessa höga hus en dag stiga en sång, lika förunderlig och skön som den, vi hört en gång?- Happy Street, you no longer exist. You have disappeared with entire neighborhoods . Gone silent has the play, gone silent has the song. High above the ground the concrete hovers. When I came back , everything was so changed. Trampled and devastated, ruined and desecrated. Shall between these tall buildings one day rise a song, as wondrous and fair as the one we once heard?
