Sof! Sof!
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Sof, sof sof lugnt! Sorg, natt dig ej når Lifvet var tungt, frihet du får! Sof, sof, lungt! Hän genom verlden, stormig var färden; Mycket der sviker, lycka, som viker, blotter, gör arm, själen så varm! Dock, liksom drömdr, allt nu är glömdt, ljusande hopp vinkar dit opp! Sof, sof, lungt! Sof, sof, lungt!

La Dernière berceuse
Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Dors, dors, dors en la paix. Dors, dors en l'espoir. Vers l'infini prends ton essor, dors à jamais. L'âme à son rêve blesse son vol; rêve est chimère, l'heure l'emporte... Tout ici-bas est vision! Mais sur ta nuit brille soudain l'astre divin, l'astre éternel... Dors, dors, dors en la paix, Dors à jamais!
