Vem Kan Segla - Ålandic Folk Song

Swedish Lyrics:

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 the wind?
Who can row without oars?
Who can part ways with their friend,
Without shedding tears?

I can sail without the wind,
I can row without oars.
But I can’t part from my friend,
Without shedding tears.

=======================

“Vem Kan Segla” is an Ålandic Folk Song based on the tune “If I Forget Thee, O Jerusalem”. The song supposedly comes from the 19th Century but was first published in 1909. The lyrics deal with a matter of either parting from a beloved one or a close friend:
“But I can’t part from my friend,
Without shedding tears.”
