engelsk text: Roland von Malmborg (fri tema-översättning)

The most beautiful song about love, my dear,      C H7 C H7 C
was never written down.                                      d6 G7 C
It dwelled in the heart of a shy young man           C H7 C H7 C
in a little country town.                                        d6 G7 C

It would have glown over all countries bright         E7 a
and made sweet springflowers bow.                      d7   F  E7
Igniting a spark in the hearts of men                       a G  C  H7 C
to leave the gun for the plow.                                 a E7 a

He would have walked under the starlight             A h h7
with his wide-eyed compassionate girl,                 E7 A
And each verse of violets and loving                    A h h7
would have glown like a precious pearl.                E7 A F7
