Vårvindar Friska [English translation]

Fresh winds of spring

[They] play and whisper

Around the groves like a couple in love

The currents rush

Cannot find any rest

Until the rushing wave falls into the deep

Oh, heart, complain

Complain and hear

The sound of the cowhorn die among the rocks

The Neck1 plays

The sorrows share

The rest among mountains and valleys

The heart wants to break

Alas, the last time I heard

The voice of love:

The pain of leaving eachother

The fire in the eyes

Mouth to mouth with pounding chests

The valley of the mountains2

The thrush sang and sang for its maiden

The Neck played

The sorrows shared

The sighs with the mountains and valleys

Oh, heart, complain

Complain and hear

The sound of the cowhorn die among the rocks

The Neck plays

The sorrows share

The rest with the mountains and valleys
