| Modern och dottern stod och bakade bröd
| Mother and daughter stood and baked bread
|
| In kommer räven med sin päls så röd
| The fox comes in with his fur so red
|
| Modern och dottern stod och silade vin
| Mother and daughter stood sifting wine
|
| In kommer ulfven i sitt gråa skinn
| The wolf enters in his gray skin
|
| Är icke du vår moder som ej gav oss liv
| Are you not our mother who did not give us life?
|
| Nu skall du stekas opp och skäras med kniv
| Now you have to fry it up and cut it with a knife
|
| Är icke du vår moder som ej gav oss mat
| Are you not our mother who did not give us food?
|
| Nu skall du stekas opp och läggas på fat
| Now you have to fry it up and put it on a plate
|
| Är icke du vår moder som ej gav oss dryck
| Are you not our mother who did not give us drink?
|
| Nu skall du slaktas och skäras i styck
| Now you must be slaughtered and cut into pieces
|
| De togo modern och dottern och rev deras klä'r
| They took the mother and daughter and tore their clothes
|
| De togo modern och dottern och slet dem isär
| They took the mother and daughter and tore them apart
|
| De togo dem ifrån deras bröd och vin
| They took them away from their bread and wine
|
| Började klösa, sarga deras skinn
| Began to itch, tearing their skins
|
| Nu var den modern och dottern död
| Now the mother and daughter were dead
|
| De sögo och drucko deras blod så röd
| They sucked and drank their blood so red
|
| De togo den modern och dottern så god
| They took the mother and daughter so well
|
| Drucko begärligt deras hjärteblod
| Greedily drank their heart blood
|
| Knappt de hade druckit deras varma blod
| Hardly had they drunk their warm blood
|
| Förrän trollpackan allt framför dem stod
| Before the magic pack stood in front of them
|
| Trollpackan slog dem med förtrollad stav
| The magic pack beat them with an enchanted wand
|
| Två vackra prinsar var vad staven gav
| Two beautiful princes were what the staff gave
|
| Jag slog er med min stav, förbannelsen vek
| I struck you with my rod, the curse fell
|
| Vållad av straffad moders grymma svek | Caused by the cruel betrayal of the punished mother |
