Swedish folk songs

Postby hajoseszter » 2020-11-09, 22:38

Hi, I'm searching for the lyrics of one folk song sung by Sågskära, here:
https://soundcloud.com/sagskara/klar-so ... -varit-den

I've already known the song "Var har du varit" - I would like to have "Klar sol."
With other text versions and by ear I could figure out most of it (any corrections would be welcomed) - could you check and complete this?

► Show Spoiler

Also an English translation would be fine.

Would you know any longer version of the song? I would be happy to sing this melody with more verses - I hope there are any.
Thank you!

Eszter

If you type "Klar sol" into youtube, you find this:

Took me less than a minute ;)

Sorry, I meant I would like to have the lyrics-translation of that version I've posted (I've searched for it for days and still could not find) - and I want to have a longer version with that text (if exist).
I could not hear "Herran böd" in this - but what instead? (I miss only a few words, I suppose).

The lyrics for the version in the Soundcloud link:

Klar sol uppå blåa himmelen lyser
Månen tittar så trind och klar
Kalla vattnet som Herran gav
I friska källan det fryser


My attempt at a translation:

Bright sun in the blue sky shines
The moon watching so round and clear
The cold water that the Lord gave
In the fresh spring it freezes

Thank you very much! <3
