Å då skar hon linnet itu Hon vill glömma, hon vill glömma Inte kan hon bära det nu Hon vill inte ha det kvar
Det var tänkt att visas för den som hon lovat, som hon lovat Han som aldrig kommer igen Den hon inte vill ha kvar Hon tar vad han har givit går ut i skymningen Det ska ned i svarta jorden och hon ser mot himmelen
En gång ska han gråta fast ingen orkar förlåta Vad var dom värda hans dyra ord De fick dö i den svarta jord En gång ska han fatta Hon grät men då ska hon skratta Då ska hon dansa på lätta ben med en annan i månens sken
Ingenting kan bli som förut Hon ska glömma, hon ska glömma Kärleken kan också ta slut Den kan dödas med ett svek
Å då skar hon linnet itu Hon vill glömma, hon vill glömma Inte kan hon bära det nu Hon vill inte ha det kvar
Och hon tar hans falska gåva går ut i skymmningen Där i jorden ska den sova och hon ser mot himmelen
En gång... (Wester/Bäckman) ______________________________ Oh then she cut her linen nightgown in two. She wants to forget. She cannot wear it now, She doesn’t want it anymore. It was intended to be shown to the one Whom she promised. He was the one who never came back, The one who doesn’t love her anymore. She takes what he has given, Goes out into the twilight. It shall go down into the black soil, And she looks towards the sky. :One day he’ll cry, Although no one is able to forgive. What were his dear words worth? They can die in the black soil. One day he’ll understand. She cried, but then she will laugh, Then she will dance upon unburdened legs With someone else in the moonlight.: Nothing can be the way it was before; She shall forget. Love can also come to an end, Then it can die with its deceit. Oh then she cut her linen nightgown in two. She wants to forget. She cannot wear it now, She doesn’t want it anymore. And she takes his false gift, Goes out into the twilight. There in the soil it will sleep, And she looks towards the sky.
