Who Can Sail Without the Wind?

(Swedish: Vem kan segla förutan vind?, lit.

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.

[1][2] 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.
