I would not say it's kids songs. He is political and questioning about society but he also have some of the funniest songs and some really wonderful ones that just breaks your heart. He was amazing with words and I love his voice and way of singing. Two of his songs that everyone knows is the beautiful "Balladen om herr Fredrik Åkare och den söta fröken Cecilia Lind" and the funny "Brev från kolonien".

I would say a "visa" is not exactly the same as a song, but a "visa" is a kind of song, a genre. A lullaby ("vaggvisa") is a subgenre of "visa". Today most "visor" (plural of "visa") are made for children, but it wasn't always like that.

@@Jiiimbooh I would say that a visa is a song with a story, with focus on the lyrics and not the instruments. That’s often the case with childrens songs, but there are many (ofte political) adult songs with the same style.

Cornelis came to Sweden as a teenager from the Netherlands if i am not wrong. He never became a Swedish citizen i think. He became a Swedish national icon. He was just Cornelis with all of the Swedish people. He was a great interpreter of swedish trobadour poet Carl Michael Bellman, but most of all he made a great great tribute to the Swedish song tradition with his own fantastic songs. He really caugt the Swedish folksoul. It is amazing when you think about it. This dutchmen really embodied the Swedish traditions in a modern way at the time. One of a kind. Bless his soul. Went to see is the Swedish way of saying that you Pattern a Ship and become a Sailor. I Sverige säger vi " gå till sjöss". Jag har varit till sjöss i 4 år. Eller han har varit på sjön i hela sitt liv.

Google translations of the swedish lyrics for your english speaking viewers: "Some people walk with broken shoes Say why is it so? God the Father who dwells in heaven Maybe wants it that way? God the Father who dwells in heaven Closes his eyes and sleeps sweetly Who cares about a pair of broken shoes When you are old and tired? Who cares how the days go They walk as they please Citizens in one hundred years you no longer exist Then someone else has taken your chair And you know nothing about it You feel neither rain nor sun Down in your dark tomb Who cares how the nights go? I do not care at all Only I can keep my face burried in my darling's hair I'm a dubious figure Not good for much Behind a corner, death lurks about He takes me whenever he choose Some people walk with broken shoes Until they have stopped walking The devil who lives in hell Get himself a good laugh then"

Late comment, but some additional context. You're not entirely off about hearing a Spanish influence - Cornelis wrote it in Brazil, after he saw the street kids running around without shoes. However, the tune is Scottish, and originally known as "The Daemon Lover" (or "The House Carpenter"). His new lyrics are however entirely different from the English lyrics.

Personliga Persson is one of the characters he often sings about. He’s said to have changed his last name when married, from the normal spelling Persson (Pers son, the son of Per) to Person (the same as person in English). So he became Personal Persson (Personliga Persson). “Our” Dutch giant Cornelis learnt much of his guitar techniques from listening to Leadbelly, btw...

It's actually a raditional ballad known by the name 'The House Carpenter'. Cornelis had done some modifications. If you are a fingerstyle guitarist you will also notice that the chord progression reminds alot from "the house of rising sun". Not that one done by Animals though, the one with Doc Watsson. Doc has also done a cover on "The House Carpenter". Anyway, huge respect to Cornelis. Cornelis mixed american blues, english traditional and some swedish folk music in a lot of his songs, and the results were amzing.

Cornelis was a true genial artist - like Johnny Cash, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan in one person - his texts are so dense with contrasts, irony, twists, and symbols, that only grown ups very aware of literary traditions and contemporary politics can fully understand them - not kids. Could you sing as satire: Gud Fader som i himmelen bor slumrar och sover sött; in the Bible Belt in the USA? - It was not possible in Sweden, either. Gustaf Fröding wrote: Strunt är strunt och snus är snus om än i gyllne dosor, men rosor i ett sprucket krus är ändå alltid rosor. Cornelis was a mocking rascal, a profound lyricist, a burlesque truth-teller, a critical analyst, a versatile musician, and his humour was a very sharp weapon. We were awed, many of us, that is. Do watch the film, do listen to all his music and pay attention to the clash between text and music and the references he makes both in texts and music, that's so many layered as Walt Whitman ever. We have three great "singer-songwriters": Bellman, Taube, and Vreeswijk. And many good ones, but not so complete, like Fröding, Dan Andersson, Ferlin - others wrote good music to their best poems.

Cornelis hardly did any covers. He made it all by himself.

Cornelis covered Bellman and Taube quite a bit. He had entire albums of their songs and some of his biggest hits are among them. He also renade and in some cases translated Victor Jara.

He actually prohibited the radio to play any of his songs when they censored one of his songs.

There's so many amazing Cornelis Vreeswijk songs. Ågren, Grimas om morgonen and Blues för Fatumeh is some of hss best and darkest songs. And Personliga Person I rambled about in my other comment.

You nailed some Swedish classic, but you to try harder on this one. It's deep, true and more relevant then ever before

My father went to sea at a similar age (16). He just showed up at the dock and asked ”Can I work for you?”. Answer, ”Yes”, but then he was of course Shanghai-ed and had to leap ship in Helsinki, but not before doing the Americas. The most beautiful women in the world, according to him, are Cuban.
