Visa i vargtimmen [English translation]

Sleep, little child.

Everything is fine.

I am here next to you,

My darling.

The hour of the wolf comes

but the stars give

their twinkling watch

on heaven tonight.

I sit and see

your innocence and pray

for the life that is in front of you.

My darling friend,

you don't yet know

but one day you will get your answer.

One day you will get your answer.

The world is such

that few care about

what you have to give it,

my darling.

The adults control

decides your role

where your task is

to blindly play along.

There freedom is

to bow and smile

and dance when the power decides.

They taught it to me,

they taught it even to you.

God givith that you stand against!

that you also stand against.

The law of nature is

the night becomes day.

The stars fade,

my darling.

The time goes,

one day you are gray.

but first turn out

in an blossoming vestment.

Here is your life!

Welcome here!

Do what you feel is right!

If you ask me,

so I will answer you.

But don't believe everything you hear.

Don't believe everything you hear.
