Under flitens lampa hon ntrade sin scen
Fr att flla masken fran mnen frdmda
Och bryta frtrollningen hos dessa stralningsfenomen
Som bor och verkar I det gmda
Med mdans aror pa en obruten ocean
Av omvrldens passivitet
Beseglade hon materialens mystiska karavan
Med vindfljeln pekandes mot osynlig radioaktivitet
Sinnet brann av frundran och ofrstlld passion
Nr mrkret upplystes av isolerat radium
Dock trde dessa studier som den yttersta erosion
Och lidelsen blev ett lidande I cellernas rum
Uppbyggnad, egenskap och omvandling
r orden som ekar i din livshandling
Marie Curie; din ande r fri
Fran ouppfyllda drmmar
Du tog kemi till radiologi
I alfapartiklarnas strmmar
Marie Curie; din strvan i
Att frdla experimentens metoder
Skapade en helt nya akademi
Och du blev dess ledstjrna och mder
[English translation:]
RAYS
Under the lamp of diligence she entered her scene
To make the mask of cursed elements fall
And break the spell over these radiation phenomenons
That live and work concealed
With the oars of toil on an unbroken ocean
Of the passivity of the world around
She sailed the mystic caravan of the materials
With the weather vane pointing towards invisible radioactivity
Her mind burned with fascination and undisguised passion
When the darkness was lit up by isolated radium
Yet these studies consumed like the utmost erosion
And the passion became a suffering in the cells' rooms
Structure, attribute and transformation
Are the words that echo in your life's work
Marie Curie; your spirit is free
From unfulfilled dreams
You took chemistry to radiology
In the currents of alpha particles
Marie Curie; your ambition
To refine the methods of the experiments
Created a completely new academy
And you became its guiding star and mother
