Där gingo tre jäntor i solen på vägen vid Lindane Le, de svängde, de svepte med kjolen, de trallade alla de tre. |
Three girls in the sunshine were singing and walking to Lindane Lea. The skirts of their dresses were swinging. They sang as they marched, all the three.

Refräng: | Tra la la la la, tra la la la la la, tra la la la la la la la la la, tra la la la la, tra la la la la la, tra la la la la la la la la la.
Chorus: | Tra la la la la, tra la la la la la, tra la la la la la la la la la, tra la la la la, tra la la la la la, tra la la la la la la la la la. 2.

Och gingo i takt som soldater | och sedan så valsade de, och "Udden är så later" de trallade, alla de tre.
They marched like a band during halftime, | and then they would waltz down the lea. And "Johnny is not worth a half-dime," they sang as they danced, all the three.

Men när som de kommo till kröken | av vägen vid Lindane Le, de ropade alla: "Hör göken!" S'en skvätte och tystnade de.
But when they came to the bend in the road | on the way to Lindane Le, they yelled, "Listen to the cuckoo bird!" Then they got startled and were quiet.

Och tego så tyst som de döda | och rodnade, alla de tre. Men varföre blevo de röda och varföre tystnade de? Jo!
Then suddenly ended the singing, | and red as a beet turned all three. But why did they all turn so quiet? What could the embarrasement be? Well!

Det stod tre studenter vid kröken | och flinade, alla de tre, och härmde och skreko: "Hör göken!" och alla så trallade de.
Surprise, round the bend they heard laughter. | Three students were grinning with glee. They mimicked the girls they were after, asinging were all of the three.
