Flickan och kråkan [English translation]

I was sitting and reading a newspaper the other day

A day like many others before

And I thought about all the dreams I've dreamt that

One by one have come to an end

Then I saw a picture of a girl

With a wonded crow in her arms

She's running away through the forest

As fast as she possibly can

And she's running with her ringlets wavering

She's running with skinny legs

And she's begging and praying and hoping and believing

That she won't be too late

The girl is small and her hair is bright

And her cheek is pulsating of red

The crow is clumsy and croakingly black

Within a moment it'll be dead

But the girl, she's running for her life

With a wounded bird in her arms

She's running towards comfort and warmth

Towards that which is real and true

And she's running with glistening eyes

She's running with skinny legs

Because she knows that it's true, her father has said so

That if there's life it's never too late

And I started to shiver from anguish and misery

I was shaking from fear and freight

Because I knew very well

That I'd seen myself in the picture

Because my hope is wounded crow

And I'm a running child

That believes that there's someone that can still help me

That believes that there's someone with an answer

And I'm running with a pounding heart

I'm running with skinny legs

And I beg and I pray, even though I know

That it's already too late
