Dagen gryr [English translation]

Look! The day breaks if the year approaches autumn

In this silent hour the light is born in the east

A night glides away in unclear dream of all that was

And a blank and unused day steps forwards with new answers.

The day dawns - an adventure

Each time the sky in the east catches fire

Hear! An autumnal sound chimes soft and aching

By an ocean running silently towards the shore where i stand

My dream and longing unfolds against everything

And an answer from life itself may reach me here

The day dawns - an adventure

Each time the sky in the east catches fire

Thus day rises towards me - it is tall and clear

It quivers within a string and becomes a song

I give thanks for the quiet pleasures of life

And hold on to them as something I've received for the first time

Look! Your simple wealth is maybe here

In an autumnal morning moment of clear and still weather

An ocean, a sky and a land to call your own

And each day you meet there, life itself has given

The day dawns - an adventure

Each time the sky in the east catches fire
