Wikipedia (Swedish) https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vem_kan_segla_f%C3%B6rutan_vind%3F has this background:
Vem kan segla förutan vind? är en folkvisa känd från Finlands svenskbygder och det anses att den kommer från Åland. Den går i moll i 3/4-takt. Inledningsraden återfinns i femte strofen i en visa från 1700-talet, "Goder natt, goder natt, allra kärestan min" och i sin nuvarande form publicerades sången första gången 1909. Visan anknyter till en tematik som är vanlig i sjömansvisor – att skiljas från den man har kär.Andra versradens slutord åror har sannolikt ursprungligen varit årar, bildat till substantivet [en] år, med pluralformen årar, som var vanlig i dialekter under 1800-talet framför allt i Finland.
Who can sail without wind? Is a folk song known from Finnish Swedish settlements and it is believed that it comes from Åland . It runs in the minor in 3/4 stroke . Introduction The line is found in the fifth stanza of a song from the 1700s, "Goder night Goder night, very sweetheart mine" and in its current form was published the song the first time in 1909. The song is linked to a theme that is common in shanties - to be distinguished from the to love.
Other versradens final words oars have probably originally oars, formed the noun [a] years, with the plural form oars, which was common in dialects during the 1800s, particularly in Finland.
A very nice choral version by Neue Wiener Stimmen of Vienna:
