| En gång då stod skogen grön | Once upon a time, the forest was green |
| Marken bördig, luften skön | The soil is fertile, the air is nice |
| Vår vackra sjö nu ligger torr | Our beautiful lake is now dry |
| Och kylan tränger in från norr | And the cold is penetrating from the north |
| Gården står där tyst och tom | The yard is quiet and empty |
| Sedan den dag vi fick vår dom | Since the day we received our verdict |

| The forest once stood so green | The forest once stood so green |
| The soil was fertile, the air was clean | The soil was fertile, the air was clean |
| Our pretty lake now lay dry | Our pretty lake now lay dry |
| And from the north cold winds cry | And from the north cold winds cry |
| The cabin stands empty and silent | The cabin stands empty and silent |
| Since our judgement fell so violent | Since our judgment fell so violent |
