Tagelharpa - Vem kan segla förutan vind?

This is by far one of my favorite folk songs of all time.
Vem kan segla forutan vind.
It is a Fennoswede folk song from the 1700’s.
The poem is related to a theme that is common in sailor songs - to be separated from it you are in love.
Here are the lyrics, first in Swedish and the English:
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.
-
Who can sail without wind,
Who can row without oars,
Who can part from their friend
Without shedding tears?
I can sail without wind,
I can row without oars,
But I can't part from my friend
Without shedding tears.
