Om du lämnade mig nu [English translation]

I would wake up in the middle of the night

and get up and go for a long walk

I would allow my gaze to meet other eyes

in a strange town

I wouldn't be in such a rush

to meet someone new

I've been on my own quite a lot

just like you

I would breathe in the void that remained

if you left me now

I would sit on a train to Paris

and let Stockholm be

I would have spare time for myself

That I've said I want to have

I would give myself time to dream

One thousand miles through Europe

About a stranger

As full of confidence as you

I would test my lips on someone else

if you left me now

I would be able to live without that look

that gets me off balance

I would miss that moment that we have

when we finally became friends

perhaps I would go and seek out

contacts that I'd lost

that I'd been with

somewhere before

I suppose there's someone you would phone

if I wasn't there

Perhaps I would look up someone younger

as a feather in my cap

it would be too empty if nobody was there

who warmed me in the night

but I would never have enough patience

to be understood

nobody knows me

as well as you

I would be stuck in my loneliness again

if you left me now
