Eremiten Esaias(original) |
| Jag har mött min barndoms spåman |
| Han som alla skydde men ingen kände |
| I en alskog norr om Högkullen |
| Stod han plötsligt där en gryning i mars |
| För en kort stund möttes våra blickar |
| Sedan vandrade han spårlöst sin väg |
| Jag kommer alltid att minnas hans fårade ansikte — |
| En frälsares men också ett offers anlete |
| Allt han ägde var hans övertygelse |
| Om att vandra ensam genom tidens labyrint |
| Det som gjorde honom folkskygg |
| Var också det som gav honom kraften |
| Varken skrifter eller amuletter behövde han |
| För att finna en sorts klarhet |
| Men varje gång då skymning blev till gryning |
| Tvekade han alltid på alltets fullkomlighet |
| Jag ville veta men fick bara fråga |
| Vad som brann i honom glöder inom mig |
| (translation) |
| I have met the fortune teller of my childhood |
| He who everyone protected but no one knew |
| In an alpine forest north of Högkullen |
| He suddenly stood there at dawn in March |
| For a brief moment, our eyes met |
| Then he walked his way without a trace |
| I will always remember his furrowed face - |
| The face of a savior but also a victim |
| All he owned was his conviction |
| About walking alone through the labyrinth of time |
| What made him shy of people |
| Was also what gave him the power |
| He needed neither writings nor amulets |
| To find a kind of clarity |
| But every time dusk turned to dawn |
| He always doubted the perfection of everything |
| I wanted to know but was just asked |
| What burned in him glows within me |
