from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

De sju gullborgarna
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Hertig Hillebrand han rider på grevens gård
      - uti lunden
Ock rika grevens dotter för honom ute står.
Den jag haver tingat i min ungdom.

"Och hör du, sköna jungfru, vad jag säger dig:
      - uti lunden
"Har du lust attfölja utav landet med mig?"
Den jag haver tingat i min ungdom.

"Hur skall jag kunna följa av landet med dig?"
      - uti lunden
"Här äro så många, som akta på mig.!
Den jag haver tingat i min ungdom.

Men ungersvend tog jungfrun allt uti sin famn
      - uti lunden
gav henne gullkrona och drottninganamn.
Den jag haver tingat i min ungdom.
