Jag Vet En Dejlig Rosa [English translation]

I know a rose so comely and white as lily petals

When I think of her my heart is filled with joy

Her voice brings solace to my heart

Like the soft sound of the nightingale

So beautiful and so sweet

Like the sun shine gracefully she is as bright as purple

God, may you never grieve but always be happy

May they come together

With joy and rejoicing in their hearts

Those who miss each other

Each day the sun goes down and every day it rises

When will that blessed day arrive that I can lay my eyes on you

In my heart you are always close to me

Farewell, farewell, my heart's beloved

Many thousand times good night
