Hennes budskap
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Available translation(s): ENG FIN FRE
Kom, du sorgsna nordan;
Varje gång du kommer.
Bär du bud från henne.
Kommer du i fläkten.
Bär du hennes suckar;
Kommer du i ilen.
Bär du hennes klagan;
Kommer du i stormen.
Bär du hennes verop:
"Ve mig, edsförgätna.
Ve mig, ensam blevna!
Ur den gamles armar,
Från hans kalla kyssar,
O, vem för mig åter
Till min varma yngling,
Till min första kärlek!"

Her message
Language: English  after the Swedish (Svenska)
Come, you sad north wind;
Every time you come,
You bear a message from her.
[When] you come as a puff of air:
You bear her sighs;
[When] you come as a gust:
You bear her moans;
[When] you come as a storm:
You bear her lamentations:
“Woe to me, [your] oath forgotten.
Woe to me, all alone!
From the old man’s arms,
From his cold kisses,
Oh, who will bring me back
To my passionate young man,
To my first love!”
