by Thor Cnattingius (1880 - 1929)

Jag villl bygga ett litet bo
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN
Jag ville bygga ett litet bo,
ett litet näste för dig,
en liten hydda på enslig mo,
en liten lagård med häst och ko,
ett litet näste för dig.
 
Jag ville odla en liten äng,
en liten täppa för dig,
jag ville städja  en liten dräng,
jag ville reda en blomstersäng,
en liten täppa för dig.
 
Jag ville finna en liten vrå,
en liten lycka för dig,
en liten trädgård med en berså,
en liten stuga med rum för två,
en liten lycka för dig.
