Äppelträd och päronträd
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Available translation(s): ENG
Äppelträd och päronträd,
plommonträd och bigarå,
alla ljusa jungfrur små,
i små svarta flätor stå,
rodnande i solen.
Nyss var vinden lätt och späd,
Hör, nu klingar hög och fri
vårens hela melodi,
hör, nu svinga broms och bi
stråken för fiolen.
Äppelträd och päronträd,
plommonträd och bigarå,
alla ljusa jungfrur små,
[rodnande i solen stå]1
med små gröna spetsar på,
rodnande i solen.

Apple trees and pear trees
Language: English  after the Swedish (Svenska)
Apple trees and pear trees,
plum trees and cherry,
all the light little maidens,
wearing little black braids,
blushing in the sun.
Just now the wind was light and delicate,
Listen, now high and free rings
spring's whole melody,
listen, now the fly and bee swing
the bow strokes the fiddle.
Apple trees and pear trees,
plum trees and cherry,
all the light little maidens,
are blushing in the sun
with little green laces on,
blushing in the sun.
