about

This song is based on a traditional folk song from the island of Åland in the Baltic sea. When writing our version in 2012, I added in verses and an instrumental ending.

lyrics

Vem kan segla förutan vind,
Vem kan ro utan åror?
Vem kan skiljas från vännen sin
Utan att fälla tårar?

Stillheten vaknar i nattens mörker
Men finner sig inte till ro
Sinnet är ensamt och kroppen är kall
Att tro att du aldrig förstod

Men nu så är sommaren slut
Och det känns som att vintern blir lång

Själen den somnar i smärtans bortdomning
Och kan inte väckas igen
Då minnet är plågsamt och hjärtat vet om
Hur det känns att förlora en vän

Men nu så finns det inget mera att säga/finns det inga ord kvar att säga
Och tystnaden vaknar igen

Jag kan segla förutan vind
Och jag kan ro utan åror
Men ej skiljas från vännen min
Utan att fälla tårar

Translation:
Who can sail without wind
Who can row without oars
Who can part from his friend
Without shedding tears

The stillness awakens in the dark of the night
But cannot find itself to rest
The mind is lonely and the body is cold
To think that you never understood

But now the summer is gone
And it feels as if the winter will be long

The soul falls asleep in the numbening of the pain
And cannot be awakened again
As the memory is tormenting and the heart knows
What it feels like to lose a friend

But now there are no words left to say
And the silence awakens again

I can sail without wind
I can row without oars
But not part from my friend
Without shedding tears
