Visor och melodier 4, till dikter av Thor Cnattingius , opus 46

by Yrjö Henrik Kilpinen (1892 - 1959)

Translations available for the entire opus: FIN 

1. Svanevit
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Svanevit! Svanevit!
Vi sjunger du i natten?
Säg, längtar du dit
till de evigt speglande vatten?

Svanevit! Svanevit!
Vi dog din ton i smärta?
Säg, längtar du dit,
där länge du bott med ditt hjärta?

Svanevit! Svanevit!
Ett vingslag hörs i natten.
Säg, lyfte du dit
till de evigt speglande vatten?

2. Dödens vila
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Stilla, stilla trädens kronor susa.
Sakta vindfläkt viskar tyst och dör.
Från det fjärran ljusa
höres toner av osynlig kör.
 
Bort, långt bort, där ovan himlaranden
som en ängel i sin vita skrud
svävar hän den trötta mänskoanden
att få vila lugnt hos Herren Gud.

3. Ring, ring...
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Ring, ring till sabbatstid,
klocka, ring in!
Ring, ring allmänsklig frid,
klocka, ring in!
 
Ring, ring i vigd metall
kärlekens bud!
Ring, ring för världen all,
prisande Gud!
 
Ring, ring allmänsklig frid,
klocka, ring in!
Ring, ring till sabbatstid,
klocka, ring in!
