Original text
Swedish text
- Till Österland vill jag fara,
- där bor allra kärestan min,
- bortom berg och djupa dalar,
- allt under så grönan en lind.
- Jag där vill bygga en hydda,
- där marken står ständigt så grön,
- och träden äro prydda,
- med blommor som doftar så skönt.
- Min sjel, du göre dig redo,
- den vida vägen att gå,
- över berg och torra hedar,
- förrän natten faller oss på.

Translations
English translation
- To the land in the east I will travel
- where my beloved lives
- over mountains and deep valleys
- beneath a green linden tree
- I will build us a cottage
- where the ground is always green
- where the trees are full of blossoms
- of blossoms that smell sweetly
- Prepare yourself my soul
- to travel so far way
- over the mountains and the waterless plains
- before the night falls.
