Guld och gröna skogar
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Kära liv, du lovar stort,
då vi klappa på din port
med de lystna knogar;
öppnar porten, ler så huld,
lovar åt oss alla guld;
guld och gröna skogar.
Men hur håller du månn'tro
löftet som du givit, jo,
åt den ena ger du guld,
åt den andra ger du skuld,
men de gröna skogar?
Ack, de gröna skogar!

Forêts vertes et or
Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Chère vie tu promets beaucoup
alors nous frappons à ta porte
avec des doigts avides ;
ouvre ta porte, souris avec grâce,
promets l'or pour nous tous;
l'or et le vert des forêts.
Mais comment tiens-tu
la promesse que tu as faite, mais oui,
à l'un tu donnes l'or,
à l'autre tu donnes la dette,
mais les forêts vertes ?
Ah, les forêts vertes !
