"There is no translation of the song title but here are the lyrics:
Koppången - English lyrics
There is silence around me in the peaceful winter night.
From the church down in the valley I can see the candlelight.
And I stopped for a moment in this winter paradise,
When I heard a choir singing through the darkness and the ice.
And the rays from the lights behind the window's vaulted frames,
Have united the souls in hope that something great is waiting.
And I know that those who have left us here had the same thoughts as
We're like flames in the darkness and stars up in the sky.
And I can see how they sparkle, and they fade before my eyes.
And the truth is coming closer like a wonder in disguise.
We are caught here a moment like an imprint of a hand,
On an old and frosted window or a footprint in the sand.
For a while I'm eternal, that's the only thing I know,
I am here and we share our dreams about our destination.
It is cold out here, and the snow is white but I am warm deep inside,
I am warm 'cause I know that my faith will be my guide.
Now there is silence around me, I have heard those words again,
In a hymn of grace and glory, saying: nothing is in vain!
I can sing- and believe it, let the message reach the sky.
Oh silent night, let your promise never die!
And I long for the others, it is peaceful in the church.
He was born for a purpose, and that's why we're here together.
Holy night, I feel like a child inside, and believe He was sent.
So I'm lighting a candle each Sunday in Advent."

One of his best. Enjoy....[/b]
And here on Pete Seeger's show 'Rainbow Quest' he talks about Rambling Boy.
Another great one: Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
And Doc doing it:
And a bit of historical note: Tom Paxton live in Israel backed up by a friend of mine, we played a lot when we lived in Israel, Shay Tochner. He is a great guitarist.
Another great one, a buddy of Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk: RIP.
Here he is in 1980 talking about his standard song, Green Green Rocky Road.
Here is Bob Dylan, very early on, with Dave Van Ronk, singing a Woody Guthrie song,
Taking a ride in my car car:
This kind of shows the influence of Dave Van Ronk on the folk scene back then.
Here is Dave doing a Dylan song, Buckets of Rain:
