I'd be interested in lyrics, music, and/or translation. I heard it on the album 'Igår, Idag, Imorgon' by Jan Hammarlund & Turid & Lena Ekman. Here's a link to the album info: http://www.progg.se/band.asp?ID=31&skiva=10&cover=10 |

Döden=death, Han=man or he, Är=is, are, Jägare=hunter, Snäll=good,nice, kind |
