I Seraljens lustgård
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Rosen sänker sitt huvud, tungt 
av dagg och doft, 
och pinjerna susa så tyst och matt 
mot stjärneloft. 
Källorna vagga sin silvervåg 
i sömnig ro, 
minareterna peka mot himlen opp 
i from en tro. 
Halvmånen skrider så sakta fram 
över det tysta blå, 
och han kysser rosens och liljans kind, 
alla de blommor små 
i Seraljens lustgård,
i Seraljens lustgård.

Au jardin du Sérail
Language: French (Français)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
La rose penche sa tête, 
doux et frais parfum !
Des pins, le murmure infini s'élève 
dans les airs.
Les sources bercent leurs flots 
d'argent ensommeillés ;
Vers le ciel la prière des minarets dit 
la fois d'Islam.
Et doucement le croissant paraît, 
l'astre rayonne et sourit.
Il caresse roses et lis en fleur, 
roses et lis en fleur
Au jardin du Sérail,
Au jardin du Sérail.

From the Sjögren score.
