Hur många vågor bo på fjärden, Hur många tankar i mitt hjärta? De tyckas fly -- och dröja kvar dock, De tyckas dö -- och födas åter, Så skilda och ändå så lika, Så många och ändå de samma! -- Ur samma sjö, av samma vindar De höjas alla, Ur samma bröst de höjas alla, Av samma kärlek. Ur samma bröst höjes våg, Våg på fjärd.

How many waves live on the sound, How many thoughts are in my heart? They seem to fly away — but also remain stuck there, They seem to die — and are born again, So different and yet so alike, So many and yet all the same! — From the same lake, of the same winds They are all raised, From the same breast they are all raised Of the same love. From the same breast the wave is raised, The wave on the sound.
Translator's note for lines 1 and -1: a sound is an open body of water in an archipelago, a bay between islands
