Translation
Ring Ring
The telephone is silent and dead
I'm standing there, it's almost like mockery
You don't call me and say "Darling" now, like you did before
Everything is so quiet now, compared to before
Nobody knocking on my door
The things that enticed me doesn't tempt me, no, like it should
Nothing amuses me right now
No-one else, only you
Ring ring, if only you gave me a call
Ring ring, the silence is so complete
Ring ring, scatter the anxiety that grinds
If I heard a call, I took a leap
My heart made a somersault, ding-dong bing-bong
If you rang--rang--rang me even once
If you rang--rang--rang me even once
That a telephone can be
Just as silent every day
If only, there was something wrong after all, but unfortunately
If only it made a sound
If only it didn't just remain silent
If I got rewards for a single prayer by our lord
Nothing amuses me right now
No-one else, only you
Ring ring, if only you gave me a call
Ring ring, the silence is so complete
Ring ring, scatter the anxiety that grinds
If I heard a call, I took a leap
My heart made a somersault, ding-dong bing-bong
If you rang--rang--rang me even once
If you rang--rang--rang me even once

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
About translator
I've tried to provide you with a good translation, without being too literal. As those of you who know Swedish might notice: not all things mean exactly the same in both versions. I chose to translate the meaning of the text, rather than word for word.
Enjoy!
