by Thor Cnattingius (1880 - 1929)

Min längtans ö
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN
Jag längtar dit bort till mitt hjärtas mö
med händer så mjuka och tankar så ljusa.
Jag längtar dit bort till min lyckas ö,
där fåglarna sjunga och forsarna brusa,
där blommorna strö om våren sin snö,
och skogarna viska och susa.
 
Jag längtar dit bort till mitt hjärtas ro,
till läppar så varma och ögon så veka.
Jag längtar dit bort, där rosorna gro,
där källorna spela och bäckarna leka,
där drömmarna bo bland kärlek och tro,
och vindarna svalka och smeka.
