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.

Tahtoisin rakentaa pienen majan
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Tahtoisin rakentaa pienen majan,
pienen pesän sinua varten,
pienen tuvan yksinäisellä nummella,
pienen navetan lehmälle ja hevoselle,
pienen pesän sinua varten.
 
Tahtoisin raivata pienen niityn,
pienen maatilkun sinua varten,
tahtoisin pestata pienen renkipojan,
tahtoisin laittaa kukkapenkin,
pienen maatilkun sinua varten.
 
Tahtoisin löytää pienen sopen,
pienen palan onnnea sinua varten
pienen puutarhan, jossa on lehtimaja,
pienen mökin, jossa on tilaa kahdelle,
pienen palan onnea sinua varten.
