by Gustaf Fröding (1860 - 1911)
Translation by Charles Wharton Stork (1881 - 1971)
Ingalill
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Inga lilla, Ingalill, sjung visan för mig, min själ är så ensam på levnadens stig, mitt sinne är så ensamt i sorgen. Inga lilla, Ingalill, sjung visan för mig, den klingar mig så lyckosam, så god och tröstelig, så milder i den ödsliga borgen. Inga lilla, Ingalill, sjung visan för mig, mitt halva kungarike det vill jag giva dig och allt mitt guld och silver i borgen. Min kärlek är mitt silver och guld i min borg, mitt halva kungarike är hälften av min sorg, säg, Inga lilla, räds du för sorgen?

Ingalill
Language: English after the Swedish (Svenska)
Ingalill, Ingalill, sing me a song, My spirit is lonely and life's way is long, And my spirit with sorrow must wrestle. Ingalill, Ingalill, sing me a song, It soundeth so sweet and consoling and strong, So kind in my desolate castle. Ingalill, Ingalill, sing me a song, And half of my kingdom to you shall belong, With the silver and gold in my castle. My gold's my delight but my kingdom's my care; Who takes half my kingdom, my sorrow must share, But need you fear with sorrow to wrestle?
