Tre sånger = Drei Gesänge

Song Cycle by Ture Rangström (1884 - 1947)

1. Havet  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Jag såg det sprutande, 
grönt som ärg,
med resta kammar och tjutande 
lungor och hy som ändrade färg. 
Det grät, det tiggde, det kved, 
det blev svart av hot 
och klättrade upp och rasade ned 
och sög och slickade efter min fot. 
Men ytterst där himlen tog mot 
och rämnade skyar slungade 
en knippa sol i bränningens svall 
låg vit och kall 
en nereid och gungade.

3. Den gyllne stunden  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
I kvällens guldvåg dränkta 
stränderna som skimrande minnen stå. 
Högsommartunga, 
tyst som i dröm försänkta, 
träden i lä av stugornas längor grå.
Långt ute börjar en ensam flicka sjunga, 
men tystnar för djupets betagande aftonsång. 
Kvällningens drömmartvång tacksamt, 
som trötta barn, vi taga.
Guldstrålar falla 
in i de doldaste, mörkaste djup av alla, 
i tigande hjärtans vrår. 
Ljust som en gyllne saga 
livet en stund i renaste skönhet står.

  • by Gustaf Ullman (1881 - 1945)
