VÅRVINDAR FRISKA (Fresh Spring Winds) is a pretty Swedish folk tune that more recently has been matched with a hymn text or two, such as “O Living Breath”. Here are the original lyrics for the folk song.

Vårvindar Friska Vårvindar friska leka och viska lunderna kring likt älskande par. Strömmarna ila, finna ej vila förrän i havet störtvågen far. Klappa mitt hjärta, klaga och hör, vallhornets klang bland klipporna dör. Strömkarlen spelar, sorgerna delar vakan kring berg och dal. Hjärtat vill brista! Ack, när den sista |
The fresh breezes of spring, play and whisper Groving around like two lovers Rushing streams, finding no rest Until thrown into the torrential waves of the sea Patting my heart, I grumble and hear The grassland horn’s sound die, among the rocks The streams are frolicking, The sorrows go away Mountains and Valleys around us hold watch The heart wants to burst! Alas, at the last |
