Swedish text
Vem kan segla förutan vind?
Vem kan ro utan åror?
Vem kan skiljas från vännen sin
Utan att fälla tårar?
Jag kan segla förutan vind,
Jag kan ro utan åror.
Men ej skiljas från vännen min
Utan att fälla tårar.
English translation
Who can sail without wind?
Who can row without oars?
Who can part from his friend
Without shedding tears?
I can sail without wind,
I can row without oars,
But I cannot part from my friend
Without shedding tears.
English translation by Mick Swithinbank
Icelandic translation
Hver getur róðið þó gefi ei byr?
Hver getur róðið án ára?
Hver getur kvatt sinn besta vin,
kvatt hann án skilnaðartára?
Ég get róið þó gefi ei byr.
Ég get róðið án ára.
En ei get eg kvatt minn besta vin,
kvatt hann án skilnaðartára.
Icelandic translation by Halldór Ingi Guðmundsson
German translation
Wer kann segeln ohne Wind?
Rudern ohne Ruder?
Wer kann scheiden von seinem Freund
Ohne dass Tränen fließen?
Ich kann segeln ohne Wind,
Rudern ohne Ruder,
Doch kann nicht scheiden von einem Freund
Ohne dass Tränen fließen.
German translation by Michael Höfling
