| VAPENLÖS [JAG VILL MÖTA...] | I WANT TO MEET... |
| | |
| Rustad, rak och pansarsluten | As a knight in shining armour |
| gick jag fram – | forth I came - |
| men av skräck var brynjan gjuten | but in fear my heart was clad, |
| och av skam. | my helmet cast in shame. |
| | |
| Jag vill kasta mina vapen, | Now I curse my weapons, |
| svärd och sköld. | sword and shield. |
| All den hårda fiendskapen | My anger and hostility, |
| var min köld. | my coldness now must yield. |
| | |
| Jag har sett de torra fröna | I have seen the dry seeds |
| gro till slut. | come alive. |
| Jag har sett det ljusa gröna | I have seen the May Queen's deeds |
| vecklas ut. | make all the world thrive. |
| | |
| Mäktigt är det späda livet | Such strength in this frail life, |
| mer än järn, | beyond that of steel; |
| fram ur jordens hjärta drivet | drawn from earth's core, |
| utan värn. | barely sheltered, in its peel. |
| | |
| Våren gryr i vinterns trakter | Spring! Resolve the winter's knife; |
| där jag frös. | the frost that left me harmed. |
| Jag vill möta livets makter | I will embrace the gifts of life |
| vapenlös. | unarmed. |
