| Nu vill jag sjunga om modersvingen,
| Now I want to sing about the mother swing,
|
| som mig betäcker i nödens strid.
| which covers me in the battle of need.
|
| Nu vill jag vila vid moders hjärtat,
| Now I want to rest at the mother's heart,
|
| där blir jag stilla, där får jag frid.
| there I will be still, there I will have peace.
|
| Det modershjärtat har ej sin like,
| That mother's heart has no equal,
|
| i trofast kärlek det ser jag nog!
| in faithful love I see it enough!
|
| Vem fattar höjden, vem mäter djupet,
| Who measures the height, who measures the depth,
|
| utav den kärlek som för oss dog?
| out of the love that died for us?
|
| Ty jag vill glömma all livets smärta,
| For I want to forget all the pain of life,
|
| all tidens oro, all jordens ve
| all the worries of the time, all the woe of the earth
|
| och tyst mig gömma blott vid det hjärta,
| and silently hide me only at that heart,
|
| vars nåd och huldhet jag nu fått se.
| whose grace and kindness I have now seen.
|
| Det modershjärtat har ej sitt like,
| The mother's heart has no equal,
|
| i trofast kärlek det ser jag nog!
| in faithful love I see it enough!
|
| Vem fattar höjden, vem mäter djupet,
| Who measures the height, who measures the depth,
|
| utav den kärlek som för oss dog?
| out of the love that died for us?
|
| Det modershjärtat har ej sitt like,
| The mother's heart has no equal,
|
| i trofast kärlek det ser jag nog!
| in faithful love I see it enough!
|
| Vem fattar höjden, vem mäter djupet,
| Who measures the height, who measures the depth,
|
| utav den kärlek som för oss dog? | out of the love that died for us? |
