by Erik Gustaf Geijer (1783 - 1847)

Vallgossens visa
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
På berget jag sitter. Runt om mig allt tiger,
i kvellen jag sjunger för mit själv.
Tra-la-la-la, aha.
Skyhög furan över mig stiger,
i djupet fradgas den strida älv.
Och högt är berget och tyst är skogen,
enslig är kvällen, ensam är jag.
Tra-la-la-la, aha.
