Brinna inga hjärtan [English translation]

ABCD, my heart tilted just for you my friend

EFGH, could I kiss and pat you

JKLM, my heart in a squeeze for you my friend

PQRS, my heart in a press just for love

I'll pick berries and weave frieze

before I've grown to heavy

shall not wait 'til I grow old

want to marry while I'm young

Why do we sit so still and quiet

have we emptied all the beloved words

No hearts burning in our valley

Never have my lips been kissed

nor will they on this year

If you went to the dark marshes of Albuska

cut yourself white cains

I'd follow you in life and death

and help you with your toil.

No hearts burning in our valley

if I can't have this choice neither

I will have to walk alone in a circle

dance and stomp round the cabin

Are all the other girls married

that are dancing in this here hall

are there no connubial union to enact

no hearts burning in our valley

Many a thought makes we awake

dance barefoot saunter naked

ABCD, the heart tilted

Now we have to say goodnight

good night my shiny black cat

never will you be mine, ever will you leave my mind

ABCD, if I may follow I will show you

EFGH, how you could feel if you choose me

JKLM, in our home I would always await you

NOPQ, my heart in two if you'd let me down
