Original 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
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.
