Enjoying this lovely song, Ing-Marie’s vals, which celebrates the resilience of nature in these trying times. Here are the lyrics in Swedish and English:

Lavar trona, skogen nynnar, myren har sin gång** Lichen’s throne, the forest hums, the bog has its way
Gruvor vila, minnen sjunger, ekar året om** Mines rest, memories sing, echoes all year round
Allting ändras men platsen står,** Everything changes but the place stands,
Sjunger sorger som var igår** Singing sorrows that were yesterday.

Åkrar torka och ängens sus, ** Fields dry and the meadow rustles,
Skatten sinar och tiden viskar sin egen väg.** The tax dries up and time whispers its own way

[Vocalization]

(2X) I glimmerljusa sjöar ** In glittering lakes
På storstadsglitteröar ** On big city glitter islands
Mellan höga mörka bergen ** Between high dark mountains
Efter djupa långa skräcken ** After deep long fears
Lyckan kommer lyckan går ** Luck comes and luck goes
Jobben kommer jobben går** The job comes the job goes

Men vi förblir på jorden vår ** But we remain on our earth
