| Jag gick till kloka gumman | I went to the wise old woman |
| Jag gick till kloka gumman | I went to the wise old woman |
| i skogen där hon bor | in the forest where she lives |
| Där satt hon på en stubbe | There she sat on a stump |
| Där satt hon på en stubbe | There she sat on a stump |
| och såg på sina skor | and looked at his shoes |
| Jag gick till kloka gumman | I went to the wise old woman |
| Jag gick till kloka gumman | I went to the wise old woman |
| när smärtan blev för svår | when the pain became too severe |
| Dom sa, hon kunde bota | Dom said, she could cure |
| Dom sa, hon kunde bota | Dom said, she could cure |
| alla sorters sår | all kinds of wounds |
| Jag prata' och jag prata' | I talk 'and I talk' |
| Hon svara' ingenting | She did not answer |
| Hon satt i samma tystnad | She sat in the same silence |
| som skogen runt omkring | like the forest all around |
| Hon titta' i mitt inre | She'd look inside me |
| Hon lyssna' på mitt bröst | She 'listens to my chest |
| Sen tog hon mina pengar | Then she took my money |
| och stoppa' i sin börs | and stop 'in his stock market |
| Jag gick till kloka gumman | I went to the wise old woman |
| Jag gick till kloka gumman | I went to the wise old woman |
| Sen gick jag därifrån | Then I left |
| Allting var det samma | Everything was the same |
| Allting var det samma | Everything was the same |
| när jag gick som när jag kom | when I went as when I came |
