Sov Gott Min Lilla Vän [English translation]

A small hand in mine

It is soft, your warm cheek

You have had a fun day

Now maybe you should sleep

My child, I love you

You mean everything to me

I will rock you to sleep

And always be near you

A story first

You have so many questions

There is so much

That you cannot understand

One day, when you grow big

You will see that on our Earth

There are children that suffer so

That you can't understand yet

[Sleep well, my friend]1

You have so many questions

There is so much

That you cannot understand

Sleep well, my little friend

Kiss your mother goodnight and feel

That I only live for you

You will forever be with me

1. In the audio, this line appears to be "Sov gott, min vän" so I decided to translate what I heard here as opposed to what I read in the unofficial lyrics to your right.
