Skogen sover

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: ENG JPN

Skogen sover.
Strimman på fästet flämtar matt.
Dagen vakar i juninatt.
Tystnat har nyss hennes muntra skratt,
redan hon sover.
Vid hennes sida jag stum mig statt.
Kärleken vakar över sin skatt,
kärleken vakar i juninatt.

森は眠る

Language: Japanese (日本語) after the Swedish (Svenska)

森は眠る
大空に 光の筋が淡くきらめく 
太陽が 6月の夜を見守っている
今 彼女の楽しげな笑い声は止み 
もう眠っている
私は 彼女のそばに静かに座っている 
愛が その宝物を見守っている
愛が 6月の夜を見守っている
