Tre sånger

Song Cycle by Gustaf Nordqvist (1886 - 1949)

1. Sipporna
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Dunklet sjunker, och vinden ringer
högt upp i valven i klockor dova.
Granarna varna med lyftat finger:
"Tyst, gån tyst! Nu ska sipporna sova!"

Solen de druckit i gyllne strömmar,
njutit sin dag som en vårens gåva.
Nu falla ögonen samman i drömmar.
"Tyst, gån tyst! Nu ska sipporna sova!"

Text Authorship:

  • by Karl Gustav Ossiannilsson (1875 - 1970), "Den levande naturen (Sipporna)"

2. Jag ville vara tårar
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Jag ville vara tårar, 
som falla i det tysta, 
jag ville vara läppar,
av ingens läppar kyssta.

Gör mina läppar rena, 
att de må allt förlåta, 
och låt mig bli till tårar 
hos dem som ej kan gråta.

3. Till havs
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Nu blåser havets friska vind ifrån sydväst
Och smeker ljuvligt sjömans kind av alla vindar
bäst!
Till havs, till storms, du djärva jakt,
Till storms, till havs, var man på vakt,
Till havs!

På endlös led är livet fritt, ej trives tvång,
När havet sjunger, grönt och vitt, sin höga
frihetssång
Till havs, till storms, du djärva jakt,
Till storms, till havs, var man på vakt,
Till havs!

Sväll härligt, sköna segel, sväll i vindens dust,
Flyg fram med fröjd mot vågens fjäll i stundens
högsta lust!
Till havs, till storms, du djärva jakt,
Till storms, till havs, var man på vakt,
Till havs!
