Sof in!

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FIN FRE

Min bleka sjukling skall luta
i tankar mot kudden sin kind,
och ögonen skall hon sluta
och låta sinnena njuta
af kärlekens sommarvind.
Min bleka sjukling, sof in!
Sof in i de ljufva och ömma,
bekymrade tankar som strömma
[förtroligt]¹ kring sjuklingen min!
Hvar plåga skall så du glömma
För vårliga dofter, som tömma
Sin hälsa i lugnadt sinn',
Sof roligt på kudden din.
så skall du ånyo drömma
om alt hvad en kärlek kan gömma,
— min bleka sjukling, sof in!

Nuku vaan!

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Pikku potilaan pitää nyt painaa
mietteissään poskensa tyynyyn
ja silmät pitää panna kiinni
ja antaa aistien nauttia
rakkauden suvituulesta.
Pikku potilaani, nuku vaan!

Nukahda niihin valoisiin ja helliin,
huolehtiviin ajatuksiin, jotka virtailevat
pikku potilaani ympärillä!
Sinun pitää nyt unohtaa kaikki kipu,
niin keväiset tuoksut valavat
terveyttään rauhoittuneeseen mieleesi.

Nuku mukavasti pieluksellasi,
niin saat taas nähdä unta
kaikesta, mitä rakkauteen voi kätkeytyä,
Pikku potilaani, nuku vaan!
