I skogen om natten - Fem sånger

by Hilding Hallnäs (1903 - 1984)

1. Malarna fladdrar
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Malarna fladdrar, fiskarna slår, 
syrsorna saxar i törnrossnår. 
Tjärnen brygger sömnbrygd vit: 
vad söker du här, hur kom du hit?
Silvervågor mot silverstrand... 
Allt som finns är i fjärran land.

2. Slocknad stjärnas sken når hit
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Slocknad stjärnas sken når hit, 
iskall brinner månen vit... 
Död man kör sitt spann i sken, 
skräcken flyr över stock och sten... 
Hörde du? Såg du? Tom och tyst 
sträcker vägen månbelyst.

3. Du drömmer en dröm
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Du drömmer en dröm 
i främmande land, 
du känner en hand 
så sval och öm 
som spindelväv 
över ögonen... 
Och i skymningen, 
som ett sus av säv, 
som en längtan hem 
djupt i ditt bröst, 
du anar en röst, 
en viskning: Vem... 
Du drömmer en dröm 
i främmande land. 
Du drömmer en dröm...

4. Månskensvitt och midnattsblått
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Månskensvitt och midnattsblått, 
drömgallerier i susande slott... 
Och där, bland träd som vajar i vind 
famlar en skugga månskensblind: 
Död man kör sitt spann förbi... 
Granskogsdunkel, molnfeeri... 
Månskensvitt och midnattsblått, 
drömgallerier i susande slott.

5. Hur längesen var det?
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Hur längesen vardet? Längesen. 
Slocknad lyser stjärnan 
än och kallnad brinner månen vit... 
Hur långt var det hit? 
Långt var det hit. 
Blunda! Jag blundar... 
Om hundra år vaknar du, undrar, förstår...
