<poem> | |||
Det stod en lind på min faders gård, | |||
den har så många vackra grenar. | |||
Den ena gren tog den andra i famn | |||
och här går jag helt allena. | |||
De röda rosor är så härliga, | |||
de vackra flickor är så kärliga, | |||
helst när man får den man vill ha, | |||
där skönsta ögonen lysa. | |||

<poem> | |||
A linden (tree) grew in my father's courtyard, | |||
it carries many beautiful boughs. | |||
One limb embraced another, | |||
and here I walk, all alone. | |||
The red roses are so delightful, | |||
the pretty girls are so lovable, | |||
when you get the one (that) you want, | |||
whose most beauteous eyes are shining. | |||

Swedish text
Det stod en lind på min faders gård,
den har så många vackra grenar.
Den ena gren tog den andra i famn
och här går jag helt allena.
De röda rosor är så härliga,
de vackra flickor är så kärliga,
helst när man får den man vill ha,
där skönsta ögonen lysa.
English translation
A linden (tree) grew in my father's courtyard,
it carries many beautiful boughs.
One limb embraced another,
and here I walk, all alone.
The red roses are so delightful,
the pretty girls are so lovable,
when you get the one (that) you want,
whose most beauteous eyes are shining.
