Sov du lilla videung (Sleep Little Willow) Swedish lullaby Music by Alice Tegnér, words by Zachris Topelius Sov, du lilla videung; än så är det vinter. Än så sofva björk och ljung, ros och hyacinther. Än så är det långt till vår, Innan rönn i blomma står. Sov, du lilla vide, än så är det vinter. Solskens öga ser på dig; solskens famn dig vaggar. Snart blir grönt på skogens stig, snart hvar blomma flaggar. Än en liten solskensbön: Vide liten blir så grön. Solskens öga ser dig; solskens famn dig vaggar. Sleep, you little willow young; still it is the winter. So sleep yet, birch and roses, hyacinths and heather. For it's long until the spring, Ere the rowans flowers bring. Sleep, you little willow young, for it's still the winter. Eye of Sunshine gaze at you; in Sunshine's lap you rock. Soon will green the forest path, raising every bloom aloft. Yet a little Sunshine-plea: Willow little, be so green. Eye of Sunshine gaze at you; in Sunshine's lap you rock.
