by Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Min själ är sjuk
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the Scottish (Scots) 
Min själ är sjuk,
jag klagar ej
min själ är sjuk
för en blott!
den långa mörka vinternatt
jag vaka kan för en blott,
för en blott!

O qval, för en blott!
o fröjd, för en blott,
den vida verld
jag droge kring
för en blott!
o qval för en blott!
o fröjd för en blott!
den vida verld,
den vida verld
jag droge kring
för en blott!
för en blott!

Din magt, du rena kärlek, huld och blid
låt le mot en blott!
sträck öfver henne
ut din hand,
och låt mig tro
på en blott!
på en blott!
o qval, för en blott!
o fröjd, för en blott,
hvad gör o Gud
hvad gör jag ej
för en blott!
o qval, för en blott,
o fröjd, för en blott,
hvad gör o Gud
hvad gör jag ej
hvad gör jag ej för en blott!
för en blott!
