Mitt hjärtas fågel [English translation]

When you see me

when I am in your eyes

when you see that I exist

when you hear me

when I am in your thoughts

when I can be what I want

Then the bird in my heart flies

Then it rises up towards the sky

Then it sways over the ground

and high above the forest edge

When you see me

when I am in your thoughts,

then the bird in my heart rises toward the sky

When you come,

when you come to meet me

when I am the one who makes you happy

When you touch me

when I am in your hands

when I am the one you want

Then the bird in my heart flies

Then it rises up towards the sky

Then it sways over the ground

and high above the forest edge

When you touch me

when you come to meet me,

then the bird in my heart rises up toward the sky

But when you ignore me

when you close your eyes

and when I don't come in

When you are quiet

when you wander from me

when I no longer exist.

Then the bird in my heart shelters

in the pine's longest branch

with black sad eyes

and a soul heavy as stone

So remember me

Remember to be near me

And let me fall asleep on your arm

And let me dream

And let me dream my dreams

and let me wake in your embrace

Then the bird in my heart flies

Then it soars over the ground

Then it rises up to the sky

and high over the forest edge

When I can dream,

my dream and come near you

Then the bird in my heart rises up towards the sky.
