Omkring Tiggarn Från Luossa: Translations in English and Lyrics - Hootenanny Singers

Around the beggars from Luossa all the people sat in a circle
And by the campfire they heard his song
And about beggars and roadmen and about wonderful things
And about his longing he sang all night long

There is something beyond the mountains, beyond the flowers and the bed
There is something behind stars, behind my hot heart
Hear - something gears and whispers, gears and attracts me and prays:

I have listened to the quiet waves against the shore
I have dreamed of the rest of the wild seas
And In the spirit have I hurried to the shapeless lands
Dare the dearest we knew should be forgotten

To a wild and eternal longing we were born of pale mothers
From the birth-born steps of worry our first wailing sounds
We were thrown on mountains and meadows to tumble and play
And we played deer and lion, butterfly, beggar and god

I sat quietly by her side, she, whose heart was like mine
She saved with a soft hand I have heard my heart cry, what you do is not yours
And I was carried away by the spirit to be quiet

What I love, what is beyond and hidden In the dark distance
And my right path is higher and wonderful
And I am tempted in the midst of the alarm to pray to introduce the Lord:
'Take away all the earth, I want what no one has! '
Follow me brother, beyond the mountains, with the still cool rivers
Where all the sea sleeps slowly in rock-encircled bed
Somewhere beyond the sky near my home, I have my mother
In the middle I golden mist in a rose cloak dressed

May the black salty water cool cheeks feverishly red
May we be miles from life before the morning is full!
I was not of this world and endlessly tormented I lead my worries, unbeliefs, and the sake of my hot love

At a seaside seashore stands a gate of roses heavy
Dead At rest the rotten wrecks and the tired men get peace
Never hard high songs like violin echoes s young
Under arches die eternally young children of bliss live
