Original text and translations

Swedish text

Jag gick mig ut en afton
uti en lund så grön.
Där mötte jag en gosse/flicka,
så fager och så fin.

Han/hon lovade mig sitt hjärta,
Han/hon lovade mig sin hand.
Vi knöto förtroeliga band.

De banden som vi knöto, dem ingen lossa kan.

Blott döden kan lossa dessa band.
