Drömmen Om Elin [English translation]

What did I dream about you?

Little Elin, like summer wind

As sweet as sugarcane

With brown and fuzzy cheeks

During all these years,

I've carried the dream with me

The dream about Elin

Smiling under a blooming lime tree

My dream is so beautiful, where you're so young and warm and bright

The sun in your hair

A farewell at your house

In my loneliness, I turn back to the dream

The dream about Elin

Bare-legged in a thin summer blouse

Elin in my dream

Your laughter floats toward the sky like a balloon

You travel to my arms and the wind carries a song

That was never us

But I still dream the dream

The dream about Elin

And about a summer long ago
