Og jeg vil ha mig en Silkevest, ja, ja en Silkevest. Og jeg vil ha mig en snehvid Hest, prustende snehvid Hest. Og jeg vil ha mig en Stigebøil, ja, ja en Stigebøil. Og jeg vil ha mig en Bluse af Fløil, [sølvknappet]1 Bluse af Fløil. En Heirefjær vil jeg ha i min Hat, ja, ja i min røde Hat. Og det skal være en Jonsok-nat, Gud, for en Jonsok-nat! Og jeg vil ha mig en Hjertenskær, ja, ja en Hjertenskjær. Så svinger jeg Hatten med Heirefjær, i Sadlen jeg løfter den Jomfru skjær, og frem over dugvåde Marker det bær den dejlige Jonsok-nat!

Et je voudrais une veste de soie, oui, oui, une veste de soie. Et je voudrais un cheval blanc comme neige, un cheval blanc comme neige s'ébrouant. Et je voudrais une paire d'étriers oui, oui, une paire d'étriers. Et je voudrais une casaque de velours une casaque de velours à boutons d'argent. J'aurai une plume de héron à mon chapeau, oui, oui, à mon chapeau rouge. Et pour une nuit de la Saint Jean, Dieu ! ce sera une nuit de la Saint Jean ! Et je voudrais une petite amie, oui, oui, une petite amie. Alors je balancerais le chapeau avec sa plume de héron, j'enlèverais en selle la chère demoiselle et l'emmènerais loin sur les champs mouillés de rosée, dans la charmante nuit de la Saint Jean !
