Текст и перевод песни Ulf Lundell - Östra Svealand

Östra Svealand

Bl gardiner vajar ver himlen i natt
Rymden flmtar som om den vore besatt
Vart sjunde r kan man se det
Vart sjunde r lggs nyckeln i min hand
Jag ppnar drren till stra Svealand

Vi satt i stugan, det brann i spisen
Radion var p
En liten familj
Dr det heliga talet var tv
Min syster och jag stimmade
Till farsan hjde sin hand
Och sa: Tyst nu r det vi
Nu r det stra Sveland

Uppe P Himlaberget dr stod ett
Utkikstorn
Det hgsta berget p den hr sidan bron
Vi gick upp dit med vra flickor
Och sg hur skogarna och fjrdarna
Frsvann
Lngt drute i stra Svealand

Borrarna skrller ner i Mnskensberget
Marken sklver nr salvorna gr
Det r nytt folk som kommer hit nu
Snart finns ingenting kvar
Av allt vi hade, allt som var vrt
Det r snart bara flydda r
Minns du vad du knde d?
Minns du vem du var?

Det r en lng vg frn Saltsj-Boo
Till Sergels Torg
Det r en lng vg frn krlek och gldje
Till saknad och sorg
Det r en lng vg frn frsta dagen
Tills du befrias frn alla band
Lngt under stjrnorna
Ligger stra Svealand

Dags nu att flja rsten
Som ropar: Kom!
Dags att lmna det som varit
Och inte vnda sej om
Aurora Borealis ser man bara
Nn gng ibland
Hr i stra Svealand

Östra Svealand

Pale curtains wave towards the sky tonight
Space flickers as if it were possessed
Every seventh year you can see it
Every seventh year the key is placed in my hand
I open the door to eastern Svealand

We sat in the cabin, the fire was burning
The radio was on
A small family
Where the holy number was two
My sister and I made some noise
Until father raised his hand
And said: Be quiet, now it's us
Now it's eastern Svealand

Up on Himlaberget there stood a
Lookout tower
The highest mountain on this side of the bridge
We walked up there with our girls
And saw how the forests and fjords
Disappeared
Far out in the eastern Svealand

The borers are scraping down into Mänskensberget
The ground trembles when the salvos go off
It's a new people who are coming here now
Soon nothing will be left
Of all we had, all that was ours
It will soon be nothing but bygone years
Do you remember what you felt then?
Do you remember who you were?

It's a long way from Saltsj-Boo
To Sergels Torg
It's a long way from love and joy
To longing and sorrow
It's a long way from the first day
Until you are freed from all bonds
Far beneath the stars
Lies eastern Svealand

Time now to follow the voice
That calls: Come!
Time to leave what has been
And not look back
Aurora Borealis is only seen
Every now and again
Here in eastern Svealand
