English Word-by-Word Translations of the Poems



Weave of Friendship

I'm weaving a weave of friendship
with only strong yarns in it
but the carpet I'm making is soft and cosy
with many colours.

Trustworthiness is the first
colour I have to weave in
and then comes the yarn Honesty
and Warmth from my mind.

A ball of Togetherness
it takes to make the carpet whole
intertwined with Love unconditionally.
Then the carpet won't be stiff.


To see through shells

Why do people think
that it's hard to understand
that the body we're born in
is just an outward shell

The shell can be white
or dark brown or something
and big or small
but that's no one's choice

It can be damaged
whatever that can be caused by
but the inside of it
is whole and social

Why don't people learn
early to understand
that the inside counts
to see through shells

I think that our Earth
would be better to be on
if we realized this
so make your choice today

to see every soul
what isn't visible on the outside
as a unique work of art
in the art gallery of life

Let's teach
a new way to think
that here we all share the space
and look through shells

No one is strange
if only everyone thought like that
Because the shell we're born in
is not at all a free choice


Want to shine

I want to be a sun
and light and warm many
but also the sun has spots
I'm not more than human

I want to be a moon
and light up darkness for many
but also the moon eclipses
I'm not more than human

I want to be a star
and light and lead many
but I don't always know my path
I'm not more than human


Lost butterfly

Your gossamer wings are fluttering
You don't know where you are
You got lost in here
and can't find your way out

I see a longing for freedom
For mild, warm carrying winds
Tenderly, carefully I catch you
carry you until you find your way out


Without a safety net

Let me fly without a safety net
through life's blue sky
Let me meet all the clouds
and see new mornings dawn

But when the trip becomes too tiring
and I fall (handlöst) down
then reach out something I can rest
on so I can fly some more


All Saint's Greeting

I'm always near.
Don't cry.
I live in eternal joy.
I have peace and harmony now
and that peace I send to you.

Remember our bright moments together.
Let the memories heal you.
Breathe deeply, and get strength
know that I'm always with you.

You're needed on Earth.
Be strong.
Sing, live and believe for me.
Sing for other sad hearts.
To your help I'm within you.
