I de stora skogarna
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Our translations: FRE
I de stora skogarna gick jag länge vilse, jag sökte sagorna, min barndom hört. I de höga bergen gick jag länge vilse, jag sökte drömslotten, min ungdom byggt. I min älsklings trädgård gick jag vilse, där satt den glada göken, min längtan följt.
