Lyrics
Det var om aftonen som sommaren flg rakt I famnen min,
Och jag log som I min spda barndomstid,
Och rda, rda blomster I mitt hjrta gingo in Med en doft som var som evighetens frid.
Det var om aftonen jag lskade som jag ej lskat frr
Och all vrlden var min skna mrka brud,
Och mitt hjrta stod p gavel som en salighetens drr
Med en ingng till frbarmandet och Gud.
Och jag hrde gamla snger komma ter hemifrn,
Och av det ljus jag drack blev sjlen stor och ny,
Och alla gamla trd och alla glnsande strn
Sjngo in mig I min barndoms grna by.
Och jag dansade bland trden och jag sjng fare ljung och sten,
Och min visa var s hg som aldrig mer,
Den slocknade som glansen utav himlens sista sken —
Det var om aftonen, d solen hon gick ner.
Lyrics translation
It was about the evening that summer flg straight in her arms my,
And I smiled like in my spda childhood time,
And rda, rda flourish in my heart went in with a fragrance that was like the peace of Eternity.
It was about the evening I loved that I did not love frr
And all the world was my gentle mrka bride,
And my heart stood on the end as a drr of bliss
With an entrance to Mercy and God.
And I hrde old snger come ter hemifrn,
And by the light I drank the soul became big and New,
And all the old trd and all the glnsing strn
Bring me into the grna village of my childhood.
And I danced among trden and I sjng fare Heather and stone,
And my show was S hg like never again,
It went out like the glow of the last glow of heaven —
It was about evening, d Sun she went down.
