Som En Sparv [English translation]

Like a sparrow in my hands,

a bird, which has no nest,

you were afraid and you stayed

here with me. I warmed you

with my life, when you were cold.

Like a sparrow in my hands,

a bird that was building its nest,

you found your shelter and you stayed

here with me and you warmed me

with your life, when I was cold.

During that winter I was big and strong.

I was your meadow, your territory.

I lifted you high and you were glad.

And you grew up and became independent.

Like a sparrow in my hands,

which were a cage, not a nest.

Have you gained your freedom? I haven't.

And the memory of that beautiful day,

when you flew away, makes me cry.
