Å då skar hon linnet itu
She cuts her linen in half
Hon vill glömma, hon vill glömma
She wants to forget, she wants to forget
Inte kan hon bära det nu
She cannot bear it now
Hon vill inte ha det kvar
She doesn't want to keep it
Det var tänkt att visas för den
It was meant to be shown for the one
Som hon lovat, som hon lovat
Whom she promised, whom she promised
Han som aldrig kommer igen
He who never comes again
Den hon inte vill ha kvar
The one she didn't want to keep
Hon tar vad han har givit
She takes what he has given her
Går ut i skymningen
Goes out at dusk
Det ska ner i svarta jorden
It shall go down in the black earth
Och hon ser mot himmelen
And she looks towards the sky
En gång ska han gråta
One day he will cry
Fast ingen orkar förlåta
Though no one bothered to forgive
Vad var dom värda hans dyra ord
What were his dear words worth?
De fick dö i den svarta jord
They had to die in the black earth
En gång ska han fatta
One day he'll understand
Hon grät men då ska hon skratta
She cried, but then she will laugh
Då ska hon dansa på lätta ben
And she will dance on light feet
Med en annan i månens sken
With someone else in the moonlight
Ingenting kan bli som förut
Nothing can be the same as before
Hon ska glömma, hon ska glömma
She will forget, she will forget
Kärleken kan också ta slut
Love can also end
Den kan dödas med ett svek
It can die with deceit
Å då skar hon linnet itu
She cuts her linen in half
Hon vill glömma, hon vill glömma
She wants to forget, she wants to forget
Inte kan hon bära det nu
She cannot bear it now
Hon vill inte ha det kvar
She doesn't want to keep it
Och hon tar hans falska gåva
And she takes his false gifts
Går ut i skymmningen
Goes out at dusk
Där i jorden ska den sova
There, in the soil, it shall sleep
Och hon ser mot himmelen
And she looks towards the sky
En gång ska han gråta
One day he will cry
Fast ingen orkar förlåta
Though no one bothered to forgive
Vad var dom värda hans dyra ord
What were his dear words worth?
De fick dö i den svarta jord
They had to die in the black earth
En gång ska han fatta
One day he'll understand
Hon grät men då ska hon skratta
She cried, but then she will laugh
Då ska hon dansa på lätta ben
And she will dance on light feet
Med en annan i månens sken
With someone else in the moonlight
En gång ska han fatta
One day he'll understand
Hon grät men då ska hon skratta
She cried, but then she will laugh
Då ska hon dansa på lätta ben
And she will dance on light feet
Med en annan i månens sken
With someone else in the moonlight
