It's a bit difficult to explain, since the Swedish Ö sound doesn't really exist in English, but the nearest would be YUST-ah.

Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

Thanks.
Actually I'm Belgian (I speak Dutch), so I can understand the Ö sound, though we don't have it in Dutch. I was mostly wondering about the G, I wasn't sure if you had to pronounce it Y or G. But you solved that mystery too :-)
