Original text and translations

Swedish text 1  Allt under himmelens fäste där sitter stjärnor små Den vännen som jag älskar den kan jag aldrig få 2  Han föll uti mitt tycke det rår jag inte för Han lovte bli mig trogen intill min blekaste död 3  Och sen så for han ifrån mig och sen fick jag en an Jag fick den jag ej ville och sorgen heter han

English translation 1  All beneath the firmament there sit little stars. The fair one that I love I cannot ever have. 2  I took a fancy to him, that I could not help. He promised to be faithful unto my pallid death. 3  And then he went away from me and then I got another. I got the one I did not want and sorrow is his name. Translation by Martin Schubert

German translation 1  Wohl unter Himmels Feste, da sitzen kleine Stern'. Der, den ich wohl lieb habe, den ich nicht haben kann. 2  Ich hab' ihn liebgewonnen, und kann doch nichts dafür. Er versprach mir treu zu bleiben bis zu meinem bleichen Tod. 3  Und dann ging er von dannen, und dann ein and'rer kam. Es kam der, den ich nicht wollte, und Sorge ist sein Nam'. Translation by Martin Schubert
