O Tysta Ensamhet [English translation]

Oh silent loneliness,

Where shall I find pleasure

Among sorrow that nobody knows,

Will my days vanish.

A burden heavy as a stone

Finds me wherever I go.

Among a thousand there is barely one,

That love understands correctly.

It is the most heavy sorrow

That the earth has to carry

That you have to lose

the most beloved one of ones heart

It is the most heavy sorrow

that the sun overgoes

Having to love that one

that one never will get

A pure and a noble mind

A virtue that sparkles alone

A mouth that speaks one

With everything the heart is thinking

I think a friend like that

Is more than very rare

Where will i find that one

that has has these virtues?

Between you and me

A fire lights up

A fire lights up

That is an everyday plague

How shall I dampen it

I do not know if anyone can help it

I will grief until my death

if you cannot be mine
