from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Oväntat bröllopsgäst
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Och jungfrun ståndar på högan berg, 
såg ner i djupan sjö; 
Så fick hon se skepp kommande; 
det var ett ridarskepp. 

Det var den skönaste ridare,  
som uppå skeppet var, 
Han ville den jungfrun trolova sig, 
så unger som han var. 

Och ungersven drager de gullringar fem 
och sätter på jungfruns hand, 
"Trolova mig, du lilla vän, 
det är vårt kärleksband!"
