Lyrics of I den stora sorgens famn - Ted Gärdestad

I den stora sorgens famn (original)

I den stora sorgens famn
Finns sm gonblick av skratt
S som stjrnor tittar fram
Ut ur evighetens natt
Och I solens frsta strlar
Flyger svalorna mot skyn
Fr att binda skra trdar
Tvinna trdar
Till en tross
Mellan oss…
S vi nr varandra
I den hrda tidens brus
Finns de skrik som ingen hr Allt frsvinner I ett sus
Som nr vinden sakta dr Alla trarna har torkat
Till kristaller p min kind
Jag har ropat allt jag orkat
Allt jag orkat efter dig
Hr du mig
Kan vi n varandra
I den lnga vinterns spr
Trampas frusna blommor ner
Och dr ensamheten gr Biter kylan alltid mer
nd har jag aldrig tvekat
Mellan mrker eller ljus
Fr nr mnens skra bleknat
Har allt pekat t ditt hll
Och frn mitt hll
Kan vi n varandra

(translation)

In the arms of great sorrow
There are small moments of laughter
As stars look forward
Out of the night of eternity
And in the first rays of the sun
The swallows fly towards the sky
To tie short threads
Twist threads
In spite of
Between us…
So we reach each other
In the noise of the hard times
Are there screams that no one hears? Everything disappears in a whisper
As the wind slowly slows down All the trees have dried
To crystals on my cheek
I have shouted everything I could
Everything I have managed for you
Hear me
Can we reach each other
In the long winter's spr
Trampled frozen flowers down
And where loneliness goes, the cold always bites more and more
nd I have never hesitated
Between darkness or light
For when the moon's skin faded
Has everything pointed to your side
And from my side
Can we reach each other
