Så Skimrande Var Aldrig Havet
Evert Taube
Never Was the Sea So Shimmering
Never was the sea so shimmering
and the beach never so liberating,
the fields, meadows, and trees, never so beautiful
and the flowers never so sweetly scented
as when you walked by my side
towards the sunset, the wonderful evening,
when your locks hid me from the world,
while you drowned all my sorrows,
darling,
in your first kiss.
