Hur skall man bruden kläda?
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Hur skall man bruden kläda?
Säg mig, broder ett ord!
Kläd henne röd för kärleks skull,
och för alla unga hjärtans skull, 
som sig åt kärlek gläda.

Hur skall man bruden kläda?
Säg mig, syster ett ord!
Kläd henne vit för renhets skull,
och för alla helgons och änglars skull,
som sig åt renhet gläda.

Hur skall man bruden kläda?
Säg mig, moder ett ord!
Kläd henne svart för sorgens skull,
sorgen för det, som komma skall,
och som intet hjärta kan bära!
