Who Can Sail Without the Wind?

Who Can Sail Without the Wind? (Vem kan segla förutan vind?, lit. 'Who can sail without wind?') is a Swedish folk song and lullaby known from Swedish speaking areas in Finland, assumed to originate from the Åland-islands between Finland and Sweden in the Baltic Sea. The opening line is found in the fifth stanza of an 18th-century ballad, "Goder natt, goder natt, allra kärestan min" and in its current form the song was first published in 1909. The song relates to a theme that is common in seaman's songs – to be separated from those you love.

The English name of the song varies: "Who Can Sail Without Wind", "Who Can Sail Without a Wind", " I Can Sail Without The Wind", etc.
