Ynglingen

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FRE

Vind, som mig smeker och lämnar,
säg, vart din kosa du ämnar,
skyndande, flyktig och snar,
säg mig, var hamnar du, - var?

Bölja, som gungar min julle,
skulle jag följa dig, - skulle
årorna lyda ditt drag,
svara, var hamnade jag?

Tankar, otaliga tankar,
sägen, var kasten I ankar?
Barn av en ädlare värld,
ges det ett mål för er färd?
