by Ernst Josephson (1851 - 1906)

Vaggvisa
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN
Susa, susa, björk och lind,
sucka hjärta lilla!
Tårepilar uti vind
klara pärlor spilla.

Under kullens blomsterprakt
mamma sig att sova lagt,
fick sitt barn ej gunga,
ej vid vaggan sjunga.

Men nu kommer jag till dig,
vid din bädd att vaka.
Kanske kommer du till mig
än en gång tillbaka.

Kinden din var lik en ros;
ögonen, det må väl tros,
när som pappa säger,
gullförgätmigejer.

Snälla mamma, kom i natt
att din flicka kyssa,
när jag säga fått godnatt
och min docka vyssja

med din blicks förgätmigej.
Och så skall du lova mig,
att jag en gång gärna
får komma till din stjärna.
