En visa

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Du hjerta som driver för vinden
Likt hafvets orolig våg,
Gud stille din dolda oro
Han vände till himlen din håg.

Hans stjerna dig lyse tillbaka
Till hemmets grönskande strand,
Gud låte din längtans vinge
Få hvila i hemmets land.

Un chant

Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Toi, cœur qui dérive avec le vent
Comme les vagues agitées de la mer,
Calme ton inquiétude cachée.
Il a tourné ton esprit vers les cieux.

Son étoile éclaire derrière toi
Vers le rivage vert de ta demeure.
Puisse Dieu laisser les ailes de ton désir
Se reposer dans ton propre pays.
