Änglamark [English translation]

Call it the angel-grounds or the heaven-earth if you want,

the earth we inherited and the grove so green.

Wild roses and harebells and linden flowers and chamomile

let them live, after all, they are so beautiful.

Let the children dance like angels around maple and elm, play peekaboo amongst the flowering branches.

Let birds fly and sign to us their hymn,

let fish swim amongst jetties and rocks.

Stop eradicating all the animals of the forests!

Let the eagle fly, let the deer run!

Let the last river that flow trough our nature

flow all the same between butterflies and spruce and pine!

Call it the angel-grounds or the heaven-earth if you want,

the earth we inherited and the grove so green.

Wild roses and harebells and linden flowers and chamomile

let them live, after all, they are so beautiful.
