My Translated Swedish Songs & Ballads

För Kärlekens Skull -----------------For the Sake of Love

Utanför fönstret slår våren ut -----Outside the window spring has come
Marken blir grön igen --------------The ground is green again
Allt som var dött, väcks till liv, -----All that was dead, comes alive
det kan också vi - -----------------So do you and I.
Mm..Så länge vi andas ------------ Mmh…As long as we breath.

Ute till havs styr en fiskebåt -------Out at the sea a fishing-boat sails.
Längs en fri horisont ---------------Along a new horizon
Den gungar så tryggt in mot hamn --It makes for safety in port
som jag i din famn -----------------As I do in your arms
Mm.. Så länge vi älskar ------------Mmh… As long as we’re lovers

Det är för oss solen går opp -------It is for us that the Sun do rise
Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull -Shining like gold, for the love we hold
Solen går upp, så oskuldsfull ------The sun do rise, so innocently
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull ----Shines upon us for the love we hold

Högt på ett berg står en katedral, -Up on a mountain there is a church
och pekar upp mot skyn -----------Reaching for the sky.
Men det är för himlen i dig, --------But it is for the heaven in you,
och jorden i mig ------------------And the Earth in me.
Mm.. Vi älskar varandra -----------Mmh - We love each other

Det är för oss solen går opp -------It is for us that the Sun do rise
Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull -Shining like gold, for the love we hold
Solen går upp, så oskuldsfull ------The sun do rise, so innocently
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull ----Shines upon us for the love we hold

Mmmm... Mmh -

Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull --Shining like gold for the love we hold
Lyser på oss, för kärlekens skull ----Shines upon us for the love we hold

Very nice work! Ted Gardestad has a great voice! How did you learn Swedish? In college?

Thanks, my friend - he has indeed. I am Swedish. - Ive studied English since I was nine. Now Im pretty much fluent. The translation of these songs and ballads Ive done is an extra challenge for my ability in the language.

There will be a bit of work fitting the songs into the reply box and to make the column of the translation as straight as I can - but I fully intend to post all my translations here. There are 24 of them so far.

Vem tänder stjärnorna__________________Who Lights the Stars

Det var evighetssekunder_______________The moments were eternal
tre korta andetag______________________Three very brief breaths
hela livet vände________________________My whole life turned around
vem valde_____________________________Who choose
inte jag________________________________It wasnt me
jag hörde ord från mina läppar_________I heard words from your lips
som aldrig vilat i min mun_____________That couldnt be found in me
tankar aldrig tänkta___________________Thoughts never pondered
som nya väggar i ett rum______________Like new walls in a room.

Som om vi alltid älskat_________________As if we’ve always been lovers
sen min dagboks första blad___________Since the first word of my writ
men att jag får skriva ditt liv___________And that I might write your life
bara tur_______________________________It was just luck
det var inget val______________________Not a choice
och av alla dessa möten_______________Of all these encounters
och allt som borde hänt______________And all that should have happened
hur sällan är jag orsak_______________Rarely am I the reason
till att livet vänt_____________________That life has changed

Jag har ingen ödestro__________________Have no faith in fate
den tanken ger ingen ro_______________This thought gives no peace
men vem vänder vindarna_____________Who turn the winds away
vem får mej att gå____________________Who asks me to go
dit jag aldrig gått_____________________Where Ive never gone
vem tänder stjärnorna________________Who lights the stars
som bara jag ser______________________Whom I only see
i dina ögon___________________________In your eyes
vem vänder vindarna_________________Who turn the winds away
och för mej dit_______________________And takes me where
min tanke___________________________my thought
aldrig nått__________________________has never gone

Så många år som jag levt______________As many years that Ive been alive
med den jag ville va'__________________As the one I wanted to be
så många kvinnor som jag spelat______As many women as Ive played
men aldrig gjort det bra_______________But never did well
måste våga bara vara_________________Must dare to just be
med minnet av det barn_______________With the memory of the child
som lät livet välja_____________________That let life chose and
och våga säga: "ja"____________________made it able to say: yes.


Jag har ingen ödestro__________________Have no faith in fate

Ängeln I Rummet---------------------------------The Angel In My Room

Det bor en ängel i mitt rum---------------------An angel lives in my room
hon har sitt bo ovanför mitt huvud-------------Her abode is over my pillow
hon gör mej lugn---------------------------------She gives me peace
och hon viskar till mej---------------------------And she whispers to me
allt det jag säger dej-----------------------------All that I tell you

Det bor en annan i min kropp-------------------Someone else lives inside of me
hon har den vackraste av själar-----------------She has the most beautiful of souls
hon är kärlek och hopp---------------------------She is love and hope
och hon berättar för dej--------------------------And she tells you
hur mycket jag älskar dej------------------------How much I love you.

Det bor en ande vid min fot----------------------A spirit lives by my bed
som blåser värme över huden-------------------It’s breath warms my skin
det kittlar och du såg att jag log----------------It tickles and you saw my smile
men när hon andas på mej----------------------When her breath touches me
är det för att du ska komma---------------------She wants you to come
och värma dej-------------------------------------And let me hold you

Här är jag med allt det andra--------------------And here I am with all I need
som gör en människa hel-------------------------Which makes a person whole
och jag hoppas------------------------------------And Im hoping
jag hoppas att du orkar--------------------------Im hoping that you can stay
och att ängeln i rummet--------------------------And that the angel in my room
det är henne---------------------------------------It is her
du ser----------------------------------------------You see

Som Stormen River Öppet Hav………………….Like Violent Winds Make Waves

Jag stod just mitt i livet,……………………………My life was in midcourse
Visste inte vilken väg jag skulle gå……………….Didnt know which route to take
Jag hade trott på allt som stod skrivet,…………..I did believe everything that had been writ
Tills den dagen då jag började förstå…………….Til the day that I began to understand

Jag har rusat blint på vägen,……………………..I have rushed headlessly ahead
Och inte sett mig om åt nåt annat håll…………..Never turned my eyes in any other way
Och aldrig nånsin saktat in på stegen,………….Never ever took time to think
Trott jag hade insett livets innehåll…………I thought that I knew what it was all about

Så stod du framför mig,…………………………..And there you stood in front of me
Jag ville fånga dig…………………………………I wanted to catch you
Och hålla kvar dig i min famn……………………And keep you safely in arms
Nånstans var du på väg ………………………….Somewhere you were going now
Och jag hann i fatt dina steg……………………..But I didnt loose you then

Som stormen river öppet hav,…………Like violent winds make waves
så möts vi här i natt……………………We will meet to night
Två vilsna skepp på väg i kvav,……….Two straying ships with danger looming near
söker morgonen få fatt…………………Tries to reach light of dawn
Där vi når vårt mål till slut,……………Where we reach our goal at last
och jag somnar i din famn,……………May I sleep there in your arms
när vinden ebbat ut……………………Til the storm has calmed down

Som solen smeker stranden,……………….As sunlight caress the beach
Som gryningsljuset värmer ömt din kind, As the light of dawn warms your tender skin
Så rör du mig så lätt med handen…………You touch me lightly with your hands
Och du famnar mig som havets milda vind……….And embraces me like the mild breezes of the sea

Närma mig om igen,……………………………….Come near me again
ända tills morgonen ……………………………….Until the morning light
ger oss mod att somna in…………………………Give us courage to sleep
Finns inga tvivel kvar,……………………………..There’s no doubts no more
inga frågor som kräver svar………………………Nothing left to ask.

Som stormen river öppet hav,…………Like violent winds make waves
så möts vi här i natt……………………We will meet to night
Två vilsna skepp på väg i kvav,……….Two straying ships with danger looming near
söker morgonen få fatt…………………Tries to reach light of dawn
Där vi når vårt mål till slut,……………Where we reach our goal at last
och jag somnar i din famn,……………May I sleep there in your arms
när vinden ebbat ut……………………Til the storm has calmed down
och jag vilar i din famn,………………May I sleep there in your arms
när vinden ebbat ut……………………Til the storm has calmed down


Som stormen river öppet hav,…………Like violent winds make waves
så möts vi här i natt……………………We will meet to night
Två vilsna skepp på väg i kvav,……….Two straying ships with danger looming near
söker morgonen få fatt…………………Tries to reach light of dawn
Där vi når vårt mål till slut,……………Where we reach our goal at last
och jag somnar i din famn,……………May I sleep there in your arms
när vinden ebbat ut……………………Til the storm has calmed down

Man borde inte sova__________________You shouldn’t be sleeping

Man borde inte sova__________________You shouldn’t be sleeping
när natten faller på___________________When the night gently comes
för tänk då blänker stjärnorna__________Think about the stars that twinkle
högt uppe i det blå___________________In the Sky

Det är så tyst och stilla_______________Peace and quiet do reign
att sova vore illa____________________To sleep would be a pity
Jag vandrar min vägar_______________I chose which paths to follow
över slätt och genom skog___________Across the moor and through woods
Och stjärnorna de följer mig__________And the stars they follow me
så sällskap har jag nog______________And that’s enough for me.

Det sägs att de är tusen mil__________Im told that they’re a thousand miles
och mer ändå från oss______________Or more away from us
Än brinner de med stadigt sken_______Sometimes they burn eternally
Än flammar de som bloss____________Sometimes flare and die
Som silver och kristaller_____________Like silver and like crystals
nu deras gnistor faller_______________Their shiny slivers do fall
Och en och annan flämtar till_________And some do lit up briefly
när hon har brunnit ut_______________When its time has come
Så faller hon då___________________And then it falls
blir det som______________________It turns into
en strimma rök till slut______________The faintest of mists

Man kan väl aldrig drömma_________You cannot ever dream
så grant och underbart_____________Thus grand and wonderful
som själva natten ter sig___________Like the very night do seem
då stjärnor lyser klart______________When stars do brightly shine.
det är som om det höres___________It’s like the faintest glimmer
en silver spel som rördes__________Of silver tines that shimmer
Man borde inte sova______________You shouldn’t be sleeping
när natten faller på_______________When the night gently comes
Man borde se på stjärnorna________You should be looking at the stars
man borde vara två_______________You shouldn’t be alone.

These are all so beautiful-did Ted Gardestad write them or someone else?


You have obviously done a lot of translation work. How difficult is it to translate from Swedish to English? My only experience is with Latin, which isn't difficult- only tedious.

It's a medley of songs by various artists, as well as some hymns and Christmas carols.
I've had my fair share of Gläns över sjö och strand and Det strålar en stjärna this winter. Lovely songs

GW, might I suggest editing in the names of the artists and maybe a word or two as to whether a song is a pop song, a carol, etc?

Thanks, Elleth & Jon!

Indeed, I will edit information on the songs.

Yes, Ive done quite a few translations of Swedish children's books. This is a hobby of mine. The songs were a bit more challenging. Firstly, correctly translated and, secondly, to make them possible to be sung.

Although the rhymes in the Swedish originals could sometimes not be transferred into the English versions, I've test-sung them with the music from the youtube vids in order for them to be easy to do by English-speaking people, and it has worked out pretty well.

Check out my homepage, Elleth. There you can find my latest translation of a children's book, under Stories & Translations. I did the preliminary translation in a notepad, which took about two months. And then, since I didnt work on it continuously, it took nearly a year to transcribe the story and add the images.

Link to the hp, as u see, can be found below.

*off-topic side note

These early morning postings are confusing me. Do a lot of us not go to bed until 3 am?

You know, I've wondered about that too? Why are all you Americans always online in the dead of night?

All silliness aside, I'm sure some of us can occassionally still be found online at their 3 AM, while others are just in European timezones.

Nice translations, Grey_wolf.

In my case I'm taking turns 'mooting, lusting over books, and falling asleep in between. It's quite a long process, which is why it usually goes until about 2 am.

Back to topic! Sorry, Anders

Quite ok buddy!

Snart Tystnar Musiken-----------------------Soon Music Fades Away

Om du tror på det första ögonblicket-----If you believe in the very first moment
Om du vågar lita på det-----------------------If you find that you trust yourself
Då finns det ingen anledning----------------Then there is no reason
att gå ensam härifrån--------------------------To wander home all by yourself
Tänk på det som hänt-------------------------Think about what happened
mellan oss ikväll--------------------------------Between us tonight

Snart tystnar musiken--------------------------Soon Music Fades Away
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan-------------We could walk slowly through our town
Vi kan stanna till ibland-------------------------We could stop a while somewhere
Vi kan drunkna I varann------------------------We could be lost to the world
Och om sanningen skall fram- ---------------And if the truth has to be told,
Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt-----------------I want to make love to you, tonight

Om du vågar lita på vad du känner----------If you dare to trust your feelings
Om du säkert vet att det är så ----------------If you truly know that this is true
Då får du inte tveka, du kan inte bara gå---You may not waver, you can’t just walk away
Efter vad som hänt mellan oss ikväll---------After what happened between us to night

Snart tystnar musiken--------------------------Soon Music Fades Away
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan-------------We could walk slowly through our town
Vi kan stanna till ibland-------------------------We could stop a while somewhere
Vi kan drunkna I varann------------------------We could be lost to the world
Och om sanningen skall fram- ---------------And if the truth has to be told,
Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt-----------------I want to make love to you, tonight

Det finns tillfällen I livet,------------------------There are moments in your life
Som aldrig kommer igen-----------------------Which never comes back
Man känner det på sig,-------------------------You feel it in your heart
Av nån anledning vet man att det är så---For some reason I know that it is true.

Snart tystnar musiken--------------------------Soon Music Fades Away
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan-------------We could walk slowly through our town
Vi kan stanna till ibland-------------------------We could stop a while somewhere
Vi kan drunkna I varann------------------------We could be lost to the world
Och om sanningen skall fram- ---------------And if the truth has to be told
Jag vill att vi skall älska,------------------------I want to make love to you

Snart tystnar musiken--------------------------Soon Music Fades Away
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan-------------We could walk slowly through our town
Vi kan stanna till ibland-------------------------We could stop a while somewhere
Vi kan drunkna I varann------------------------We could be lost to the world
Och om sanningen skall fram- ---------------And if the truth has to be told
Jag vill att vi skall älska,------------------------I want to make love to you

Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt-----------------I want to make love to you, tonight

Here is a funny little tune...

Krama Dig------------------------------Hug You

På ett ganska litet golv-----------------On a very tiny floor
Här står vi, du och jag-----------------We’re standing both of us
I trängsel och rök-----------------------Among crowd and smoke

Snart är klockan två--------------------2 am is near
I huv’et går det runt--------------------And my head spins
I ett sus utav ljus------------------------In a daze from the blaze

Det kallas diskotek---------------------It’s called a discoteque
Vi rör oss lite grand--------------------We move about a bit
På två meters håll-----------------------Some distance apart.

Det är en konstig lek-------------------It is a strange game
Man hittar knappt varann-------------You hardly find your date
Stanna till--------------------------------Please stay
Vad jag vill------------------------------What I want to…

Krama dig-------------------------------Hug you
Hålla i dig, krama dig-----------------Hold onto and hug you
(jag vill hålla i dig)--------------------(I want to hold onto you)
Varför måste de va så här-------------Why does it have to be like this?
(varför måste är de så här)------------(Why is it like this?)
När jag bara vill-------------------------When all I want is to -
krama dig--------------------------------Hug you
Svara mig--------------------------------Please answer me

Här står man som ett fån---------------One’s standing like a fool
Och studsar upp och ner---------------Bouncing up and down
Du ser ingeting--------------------------You don’t see anything
I musikens dån---------------------------In the din of tones
Försöker jag få fram---------------------I try to tell you
Vad jag vill-------------------------------What I want
En gång till-------------------------------Once again

Krama dig-------------------------------Hug you
(ja, jag vill)----------------------------(Yes, I want - )
Hålla i dig, krama dig-----------------Hold onto and hug you
(jag vill hålla i dig)--------------------(I want to hold onto you)
Varför måste de va så här-------------Why does it have to be like this?
(varför måste är de så här)------------(Why is it like this?)
När jag bara vill-------------------------When all I want is to -
krama dig--------------------------------Hug you
Svara mig--------------------------------Please answer me

(J – J – J Jag vill - )---------------------(I, I, I, I want to - )
Krama dig-------------------------------Hug you
Hålla i dig, krama dig-----------------Hold onto and hug you
(jag vill hålla i dig)--------------------(I want to hold onto you)
Varför måste de va så här-------------Why does it have to be like this?
När jag bara vill-------------------------When all I want is to -
krama dig--------------------------------Hug you
(jag vill krama dig, jag vill krama dig)--(I want to hug you, I want to hug you)
Svara mig--------------------------------Please answer me

(Jag vill)----------------------------------(I want to - )
krama dig--------------------------------Hug you
Hålla i dig, krama dig-----------------Hold onto and hug you
(jag vill hålla i dig)--------------------(I want to hold onto you)
Varför måste de va så här-------------Why does it have to be like this?
(varför måste är de så här)------------(Why is it like this?)
När jag bara vill-------------------------When all I want is to -
krama dig--------------------------------Hug you

(jag vill, jag vill, jag vill, jag vill, jag vill krama dig) – (I want, I want, I want, I want,
I want to hug you)

Svara mig--------------------------------Please answer me

Träd fram, du nattens gud, ___________________Come forth, thou god of night

Träd fram, du nattens gud, ___________________Come forth, thou god of night
att solens lågor dämpa!______________________The blaze of the sun soften
Bjud stjärnan på din sky_____________________Bid the star in the sky
mot aftonrodnan kämpa!_____________________The glow of evening contest!
Gör ljumma böljan kall!_____________________Make tepid waters cold!
Slut ögats förlåt till_________________________Do shut the veil of eye
, kom, lindra kval och krämpa________________Do soften pain and ailements
och blodets heta svall!_____________________And the hot waves of the blood!

Vid källan allt är tyst;_______________________By the well all is quiet
knappt rör sig minsta myra,__________________No critter do move
när mot dess klara djup_____________________When against it’s clear deep
Timantes i sin yra_________________________Timantes in his daze
bespeglar månens klot.____________________Do mirror the sphere of the moon
På grenen av en alm______________________On branch of nearby elm
Alexis hängt sin lyra_____________________Alexis has hung his lyre
och slumrat vid dess fot.__________________And fallen asleep at its root.

Ditt täcke gömmer allt...____________________ Your blanket cover all
Betraktom Floras gårdar!____________________Look upon gardens of Flora
Här skönsta höjder fly,_____________________Here lovely heights to soar
där mörka griftevårdar_____________________There darkened tombstones
på svarta kullar stå;______________________On blackened hills do stand.
och under uvars gråt_______________________Beneath the cries of owls
mullvadar, ormar, mårdar__________________Moles, snakes and martens
ur sina kamrar gå._________________________From their hollows appear.

Det späda vattensorl,_______________________The soft murmur of stream
som ned i mossan spelar_____________________Which in the moss do sigh
och uti rännlars språng______________________And in revulets spring
kring fältet sig fördelar,_____________________In the field do dispense
gör ögats sömn så söt,______________________Make sleep of eye so sweet
att döden liksom känns _____________________That death do feel
var droppa blod förstela__________________Each droplet blood harden
i själva hälsans sköt.____________________In the bosom of health

En ljum och kylig blåst _________________A tepid and cold wind
emellan löven susar____________________Between the leaves do sigh
och under trädens rusk________________Beneath the tree’s rains
den mörkblå böljan krusar____________The darkblue waters ripples
kring roddarns blanka år._____________Round sculler’s pale oars.
Mot klippan vid ett plump,____________Against rock by a blot
dit strömmen inåt frusar,_____________To which the stream rushes
den glupska gäddan slår.____________Where voracious pike swim.

Där ligger jägarn trött,______________The hunter lie there fatigued
med hatten under öra_______________With hat beneath his ear
vid bössan, mot hans arm,____________With gun close by his arm
att minsta buller höra,_______________The least rumbling he hears
sig hunden lagt i ring;________________The dog lies in a ring.
och fiskarn nyss begynt _______________The fisher just begun
sin not i vassen snöra__________________His net in the thickets tie
och plaska stranden kring._____________On the beach he splash.

På trädgårdssängens brant,_____________By the flowersbed’s rim
som nedåt viken drager,_______________Which slopes down to the bay
den trevne åbon syns_________________The pleasant farmer’s seen
vid månens halva dager_______________By twilight of the moon
med vattenkannan fylld.____________With watercan filled
Hans täppa syns så grön, _____________Hi garden-plot is green
var planta frisk och fager,_____________each plant healthy and fair
försilvrad och förgylld.______________Of silver and of gold.
