Byssan lull - Evert Taube

:|: Byssan lull, koka kittelen full

Där kommer tre vandringsmän på vägen

Den ene, ack så halt

Den andre, o så blind

Den tredje säger alls ingenting

:|: Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle

Three wanderers are coming down the road

The first one is limping

The second one is blind

The third one doesn’t say anything

:|: Byssan lull, koka kittelen full

På himmelen vandra tre stjärnor

Den ena är så vit

Den andra är så röd

Den tredje är månen den gula

:|: Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle

In the sky three stars are wandering.

:|:

The first one is so white

The second one is so red

The third one is the yellow moon

Där blåser tre vindar på haven, :|:

På Stora ocean

På lilla Skagerack

Och långt upp I Bottniska viken

Three winds are blowing at sea.

:|:

One the great ocean

On the little Skagerrak

And far up on the gulf of Bothnia

Där segla tre skutor på vågen.

Den första är en bark

Den andra är en brigg

Den tredje har så trasiga segel

Three sailing ships are sailing here.

:|:

The first one is a barque

The second one is a brig

Sjökistan har trenne figurer.

:|:

Den första är vår tro

Den andra är vårt hopp

Den tredje är kärleken, den röda

:|: Byssan lull -- boil the full kettle

The treasure chest has three figures.

:|:

The first one is our faith

The second one is hope

The third one is the red love

Tre äro tingena de goda.

Den första är Gud Far

Den andra är hans Son

The one, oh so lame

The other, oh so blind

The third says nothing at all

On little Skagerack

And way up in the Gulf of Bothnia
