Translation of the song lyrics Sagan om lilla Sofi - Hep Stars

Sagan om lilla Sofi (original)

Lilla Sofi, hon lyser som en sol,
Binder en krans av ngsblom och viol,
Himlen lyser hrligt bl nr hon sakta hemt gr,
Slr sig ned invid sin grind,
Hller kransen mot sin kind
D hrs en sng, d syns ett moln av damm,
En liten soldat marscherar vgen fram,
Han har byxor med revr och han har ett stort gevr,
Han marscherar s kavat,
En liten, stor soldat
Lilla Sofi, hon ropar hej p dej
Jag heter Sofi, kom hit och lek med mej
Men soldaten svarar d Nej, jag mste skynda p Jag ska bort till fjrran land
Hela vrlden str i brand
Fr jag g med, jag lovar att va snll
Vi r vl tillbaks hr innan det blir kvll
Men han svarar henne d Det blir lngt fr dej att g Stanna hr min lilla vn Ty jag kommer snart igen
Dag blir till natt, och mnader till r Och lilla Sofi, hon vntar varje vr Men den vind som drar mot nord
Kan ge svar men har ej ord
Kommer aldrig mer igen
S hon vntar skert n

(translation)

Little Sofi, she shines like a sun,
Ties a wreath of ngsblom and violet,
The sky shines brightly blue when she slowly goes home,
Settles down next to his gate,
Holds the wreath against his cheek
There is a song, there is a cloud of dust,
A small soldier marches the road ahead,
He has trousers with a rib and he has a big rifle,
He marches s kavat,
A small, big soldier
Little Sofi, she shouts hello to you
My name is Sofi, come here and play with me
But the soldier answers No, I have to hurry I'm going to a far country
The whole world is on fire
Before I join, I promise to be kind
We'll be back here before nightfall
But he answers her then It will be long for you to go Stay here my little friend For I will come again soon
Day turns to night, and months to year And little Sofi, she waits every spring But the wind that heads north
Can give answers but has no words
Will never come again
S hon vntar skert n
