Kostervalsen [English translation]

Join me, in a monastery waltz

Wrap your rotund arm around my neck

I'll get to lead you

Hiohej, we're really spinning around

The monastery waltz goes on

Playing and fondling between cracks and openings

I'm yours and you're mine

My beloved!

(Refrain:)

Lovely maiden on Koster Island

You, my sweet little fiancée

Little Maja, hey! Little Maja, tell me

Tell me, do you want to marry me?

Join me in a kosterbåt1

We will follow eachother into the night now

We will go out on the sea

Where the mareel is shining blue

I want to caress you

Where the swell shines like a fire

I'm yours and you're mine

My beloved!

(Refrain)

Come, let me hold you

I'll find my haven in your arms

Maja, I'm yours

You're mine, my beloved

Maja, we're

Snogging, mouth to mouth, snogging

I'm yours

You're mine

My beloved!

(Refrain)

Join me in a wedding chair2, join me

Before this year ends

Maja, I'm yours

Little one, as my bride you'll be mine

And Maja, then I'll be

Then I'll be so darn happy

I'm yours and you're mine

My beloved!

(Refrain)
