| VAPENLÖS [JAG VILL MÖTA...] | I WANT TO MEET... |
| | |
| Rustad, rak och pansarsluten | Armed, erect and and closed in armour |
| gick jag fram – | forth I came - |
| men av skräck var brynjan gjuten | but of terror was the mail-coat cast, |
| och av skam. | and of shame. |
| | |
| Jag vill kasta mina vapen, | I want to drop my weapons, |
| svärd och sköld. | sword and shield. |
| All den hårda fiendskapen | All that hard hostility |
| var min köld. | made me cold. |
| | |
| Jag har sett de torra fröna | I have seen the dry seeds |
| gro till slut. | grow at last. |
| Jag har sett det ljusa gröna | I have seen the bright green |
| vecklas ut. | spread out fast. |
| | |
| Mäktigt är det späda livet | Mightier than iron |
| mer än järn, | is life's tenderness, |
| fram ur jordens hjärta drivet | driven forth from the earth's heart |
| utan värn. | without defence. |
| | |
| Våren gryr i vinterns trakter | The spring dawns in winter's regions. |
| där jag frös. | where I froze. |
| Jag vill möta livets makter | I want to meet life's powers |
| vapenlös. | weaponless. |
