Jag vet dock, att den dag skall komma,

Tyst skall livet bjuda sitt farväl
och låta det sista täckelset falla över mina ögon.

Ich weiss doch, dass der Tag wird kommen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Ich weiss doch, dass der Tag wird kommen:

Still das Leben bietet sein Lebwohl
und lässt seinen letzten Vorhang sich senken über meine Augen.
