Tysta Folket [English translation]

Sunlight on the field

I see it crawl over the ground

The shadow it gives off

Is fading out and buoyant

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (x)

Is a meeting, is a gathering

And a silent voice speaks out

That no one hears

Are you drudging in the mill, like a slave ?

Are you sitting on the edge of a grave ?

Can you be safe and secure on your way ?

Or do you run with a beast in pursuit ?

(BRIDGE)

When the morning of a new day is dawning

(REF:)

People suffer in silence

Under the banner of silence they go

The quiet people shall wake up

And understand the truth

People suffer in silence

Standing quietly

The quiet people wake up

And they see the truth

In the east the sun rises

I see the sky blood red

In the south there is a battle

And starvation and death

In the west there is happiness

Only in a few nice homes

Silent people go in circles

xxxxxxxxx (x)

(BRIDGE)

(REF)

Are you resting on the shores of the sea ?

Or is your bowl filled with finest draft ?

Do you rest in the meadow of a forest ?

Or do you sit like a king on the throne ?
