-
I am here and in the middle of a frozen path
there is warmth even here,
though snow is starting to fall and the sky is turning grey.
-
For a second I am eternal
and then I know nothing more:
only one thing, that I'm living
as fully as anyone else.
-
We are captives in time
like the impression of a hand
on a frosty old window
which has been shown mercy by time's tooth.
-
There among twinkling stars
which are fading one by one
life comes truly near
like a glimpse of the truth.
-
And I know that those who have left us
have understood that we are
like flickering flames for as long as we are here.
-
And a ray from the candles
behind the window's vaulted frame
has united those souls
which are here with us just now.
-
I have stopped on the path
to rest myself awhile
and have been captured in that borderland
that brings night and day together.
-
Here is stillness and silence
now the land has been coloured white;
from the sturdy old church
the song rings all the way here.
-
This is truly, hauntingly beautiful!
There follows my attempt at an English translation (literal rather than poetic).

@Nessley22 If you read other comments here you can find a "translation" of the lyrics made by stensopp666. The swedish is better, but you will understand the meaning :)

En väninna till min mamma sjöng denna sång på min mammas begravning för tre-fyra månader sedan. Den får mina tårar att rinna varenda gång jag hör den men jag älskar den ändå. Så vacker och för mig så känslofylld...

Jag beklagar sorgen.
Ja, den är väldigt vacker

Jag är så tacksam att du lagt upp denna! Jag hade aldrig hört den förut, men när vi kunde lyssna på den här på youtube kunde vi välja ut den för at använda på en anhörigs begravning! Tack!
