from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Vedergällningen
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
"Om alla berg och dalar de voro utav gull,  
allt vatten vore vändt uti vin,  
allt sammans ville jag våga för din skull, all the same,  
du som är allrakärasten min." 

"Är det då sant du säger för mig,  
du vill bli allrakärasten min;  
du följer mig hem på min kära faders gård, 
och bedes med äran om mig." 

"Jag var hos din kära fader i går,  
din fader han svara mig nej. 
Skön jungfrun tager nu rådet av sig själv 
och följer utav landet med mig."
