Idas sommarvisa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Idas sommarvisa or Du ska inte tro det blir sommar is a Swedish language-song with a summertime theme. Astrid Lindgren wrote the lyrics while Georg Riedel composed the tune for the film Emil och griseknoen from 1973, where it was performed by Lena Wisborg playing Ida.

"Idas sommarvisa" has three verses, and is often sung during graduations, where it has been a popular non-religious alternative to "Den blomstertid nu kommer" and "I denna ljuva sommartid". However, somepeople means that the lyrics "ifall inte nån sätter fart" ("if nobody kicks off") may refer to God.[1]

An early recording was done in 1976 by Thor-Erics.[2]

A 1979 recording called "Jag gör så att blommorna blommar" by Small Town Singers[3] was at Svensktoppen for 10 weeks during the period of 15 July-16 September 1979, peaking at 2nd place.[4]
