Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
"Hvadan kommer, hvadan kommer
Du, min käcke son?"
"Ned från stranden, ned från stranden, 
O min moder kär!"

"Säg, hvad har du gjort vid stranden,
Du, min käcke son?"
"Mina hästar der jag vattnat,
O min moder kär!"

"Hvem har nu bestänkt din tröja,
Du, min käcke son?"
"Hästens hofvar, hästens hofvar,
O min moder kär!"

"Hvaraf är ditt svärd så blodigt,
Du, min käcke son?"
"Bloden är min enda broders,
O min moder kär!"

"Säg, hvart ärnar nu du färdas,
Du,  min käcke son?"
"Långt, långt hän till andra länder,
O min moder kär!"
