Jag hade en gång en båt [English translation]

I used to have a boat,

With sails and a cabin and keel

But that was too long ago, so long ago

Answer me,

Where is it now?

I'm just wondering .... Where is it now?

I thought it was real.

But then I woke up and my dream disappeared

Where is it now?

There once was a soldier,

He kissed his mom goodbye,

He said to his girl: I'll come back for you

There once was a city

The children played in the park

Someone dropped a bomb and the city disappeared

I used to dream a dream,

But that was too long ago, so long ago,

Answer me,

Where are they now?

I'm just wondering .... Where are they now?

I'm just wondering .... where are they now?
