by Gustaf Fröding (1860 - 1911)

Jag mötte en flicka
 (Sung text for setting by T. Rangström)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
 ... 

Jag mötte en flicka, hon bar sitt barn,
hon rodnade skamset förlägen,
hennes dräkt var lump, hennes namn var skarn,
hennes hem var den ändlösa vägen.

Hon hade dock något att kalla för sitt.
Mot varandra de värmde sig varma,
jag ville att flickans barn var mitt,
jag ville jag vore den arma.
