Floden [English translation]

It runs a river, a flow through my life

I'm filled with softness and peace when I wade through your reeds

And every time I dare to go for a swim in you I become whole and pure

and I feel a healing go through my marrow and bones

Chourus:

Now I'm wondering why I don't swim more in it

Why, why when I know how good you are for me

It can almost seem like I try to avoid it

and I'm afraid of the mercy and joy you bring me

Strange, strange

There is a well, a source of life in my own place

Love is its name and the gaze becomes clear from the smallest drink

and every time I dare to drink of it I become whole and pure

And I feel a healing go through my marrow and bones

Chourus:

Now I'm wondering why I don't drink more of it

Why, why when I know how good you are for me

It can almost seem like I try to avoid it

and I'm afraid of the mercy and joy you bring me

Strange, strange

I want to defy the resistance I have towards receiving what's good

It's not wise to walk around looking for what I've already been given

Chourus:

Now I'm wondering why I don't swim more in it

Why, why when I know how good you are for me

It can almost seem like I try to avoid it

and I'm afraid of the mercy and joy you bring me

Strange, strange
