Английская Википедия:Gå upp och pröva dina vingar
Шаблон:Infobox song Gå upp och pröva dina vingar ("Go up and try your wings") is a 1944 Swedish song written by Lasse Dahlquist.[1][2] It was written for the 1944 Swedish film Örnungar, a film about gliding, where Dahlquist, Alice Babs and Kaj Hjelm sang it. The song is considered one of Dahlqvist's most important compositions.[3]
The song has become a popular sing-along song in Sweden, and is one of the most frequently-performed songs in the TV programme Allsång på Skansen.[4] The phrase Gå upp och pröva dina vingar, which was coined for the song, has entered the Swedish idiom, and is used both literally about flying by aircraft, especially gliding[5] and figuratively, as an exhortation to try new things or exert oneself in life in general.
