Vänta i vila (Wait in peace)

Wait in peace, the winds are awake,
in time the sea will wash your shore.
The steps in the sand of the ones you miss
follow the waves far away from land.

Wait in peace, all shall be stirred,
will drift in the sea of eternities.
The dew of the days will be moved, drop by drop,
back from the swaying grave of the sea.

Wait in peace, the nights are approaching.
The sun will go down before you are asleep.
Dying waves, cooling water,
a fading light will take you away.
