Jag unnar dig

Jag unnar dig ändå allt gott du ljuva ängel fin,
fast du ifrån mig haver gått är du i hågen min.
Så tackar jag för kärleken
jag njutit har av dig min vän,
till denna dag och stund.

A literal translation:

I still grant you everything good, you beautiful angel of delight.

Although you have left me I still have you on my mind,

And I thank you for all the love I have enjoyed from you my friend, to this day and moment.

A simple yet beautiful melody about unanswered love, for choir a capella SATB, starting with a S + T duet.

Its intense emotional content can easily be expressed on a stage with some simple positioning. Let the duet be sung by a couple standing with their backs to each other, holding hands behind their backs as they sing, to be slowly released by the end of the song as they separate.
