Fjerran på en enslig stig
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Choose for Diff
Fjerran på en enslig stig
skall du få söka mig,
fjerran der vägen går
fram genom gröna snår!
Åhå!

Ingen har hittat den,
ingen den känner än
trasten i skogen blott
känner den vägen godt.
Åhå!

Kan du så finna mig,
aldrig jag sviker dig!
Djupt in i skogens ro
bygga vi två vårt bo.
Åhå! Åhå!

Dans le lointain des bois
Language: French (Français)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Choose for Diff
Dans le lointain des bois,
accours et me rejoins
ou l'âme des sentiers
rêve sous les buissons !
Haha !

Nul n'y porta ses pas,
nul n'y berça ses nuits.
Seul l'oiseau libre et fier
vient y poser son vol.
Haha !

Oh ! puisses-tu venir !
Là, je veux être à toi...
Viens dans la paix des bois ;
c'est la saison des nids.
Haha ! Haha !
