Omkring tiggarn från Luossa - Hootenanny Singers

Omkring tiggarn frn Luossa satt allt folket I en ring

Och vid lgerelden hrde de hans sng

Och om bettlare och vgmn och om underbara ting

Och om sin lngtan sjng han hela natten lng

Det are ngot bortom bergen, bortom blommorna och sngen

Det are ngot bakom stjrnor, bakom heta hjrtat mitt

Hren — ngot gare och viskar, gare och lockar mig och beder:

«Kom till oss ty denna jorden, den are icke riket ditt

Jag har lyssnat till de stillsamma bljeslag mot strand

Om de vilda havens vila har jag drmt

Och I anden har jag ilat mot de formlsa land

Dare det kraste vi knde skall bli glmt

Till en vild och evig lngtan fddes vi av mdrar bleka

Ur bekymrens fdselvnda steg vare frsta jmmerljud

Slngdes vi p berg och sltter fare att tumla om och leka

Och vi lekte lg och lejon, fjril, tiggare och gud

Satt jag tyst vid hennes sida, hon, vars hjrta var som mitt

Redde hon med mjuka hnder mt vrt bo

Hrde jag mitt hjrta ropa, det du ger are ej ditt

Och jag frdes bort av anden att f ro

Det jag lskar, det are bortom och frdolt I dunkelt fjrran

Och min rtta vg are hg och underbar

Och jag lockas mitt I larmet till att bedja infare Herran:

«Tag all jorden bort, jag ga vill vad ingen, ingen har!»

Flj mig broder, bortom bergen, med de stilla svala floder

Dare allt havet somnar lngsamt inom bergomkransad bdd

Ngonstdes bortom himlen are mitt hem, har jag min moder

Mitt I guldomstnkta dimmor I en rosenmantel kldd

M de svarta salta vatten svalka kinder feberrda

M vi vara mil frn livet innan morgonen are full!

Ej av denna vrlden var jag och ondlig vedermda

Led jag fare min oro, otro, och min heta krleks skull

Vid en snckbesllad havsstrand stare en port av rosor tunga

Dare I vila multna vraken och de trtta mn f ro

Aldrig hrda hga snger likt fiolers ekon sjunga

Under valv dare evigt unga barn av saligheten bo

Around the begging nets from Luossa, all the people sat in a circle

And at the fire they heard his song

And about beggars and vgmn and about wonderful things

And about his longing he sang all night long

There is something beyond the mountains, beyond the flowers and the song

There's something behind the stars, behind my hot heart

Hren - something gare and whispers, gare and entices me and prays:

"Come to us, for this earth is not your kingdom

I've been listening to the quiet breezes towards the beach

I have dreamed about the rest of the wild seas

And in the spirit I have hurried to the formal lands

Dare the craziest we could be forgotten

To a wild and eternal longing we were born of pale mothers

From the birth of worry came the first moaning sound

We were thrown on mountains and there was no danger of tumbling and playing

And we played lg and lion, butterfly, beggar and god

I sat quietly by her side, she, whose heart was like mine

She saved with soft hands mt vrt bo

I heard my heart cry, what you give is not yours

And I was led away by the Spirit to sow

What I love, it's beyond and hidden in the dark distance

And my right path is high and wonderful

And I am enticed in the midst of the alarm to pray to the Lord:

"Take away all the earth, I want what no one, no one has!"

Follow me brother, beyond the mountains, with the still cool rivers

Dare all the sea falls asleep slowly within rock-encircled bed

Ngonstdes beyond heaven are my home, I have my mother

In the middle of golden mist in a rose cloak dressed

M the black salty water cool cheeks feverish

May we be miles from life before the morning is full!

Not of this world was I and wickedly abominable

Let me risk my worries, disbelief, and the sake of my hot love

At a seaside beach, a port of roses heavy stares

Dare I rest rotten wrecks and the tired mn f ro

Never hear loud songs like violin echoes sing

Under vaults dare forever young children of bliss live
