Stjärnöga
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Stjärnöga, du som jag mött
långt i försvunna tider,
nu är det kvälldags,
och trött min ungdom till vila skrider.
Irrbloss, som världen har tänt,
slockna så lätt i världen.
Stjärnöga, mycket har hänt,
sedan vi skildes på färden.
Villsam är vägen som går fram
genom mörka länder.
Stjärnöga, stjärnöga,
når jag aldrig mer dina händer?
Tag mina händer
och led mig in i ditt ljusa rike.
Stjärnöga, giv mig din fred
och låt mig varda din like.

Oeil‑étoilé
Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Oeil-étoilé, toi que j'ai rencontré
il y a longtemps en des temps disparus,
maintenant c'est le soir de ma vie,
et ma jeunesse fatiguée approche du repos.
Les feux follets que le monde a allumés
s'évanouissent si facilement dans le monde.
Oeil-étoilé, beaucoup de choses se sont passées
depuis que nos routes se sont séparées.
Déroutant est le chemin qui passe
à travers des pays sombres.
Oeil-étoilé, oeil-étoilé
n'atteindrai-je plus jamais tes mains?
Prends mes mains
et conduis-moi dans ton royaume lumineux.
Oeil-étoilé, donne-moi ta paix
et laisse-moi devenir pareil à toi.
