Nu ä' dä' sommar, nu ä' dä' sol, nu ä' dä' blommer å blader. Å granner lyser varenda kjol, båd tös å gosse ä' så glader. Nu kan en glömma bå sorg å nö', nu kan en sjunga å skratta, nu får en träffa sin lilla mö, nu får en dansa hela natt'. |
Now it is summer, now it is sunny. Now there are flowers and leaves, and all the skirts are bright, and both boys and girls rejoice. Now you can forget all your troubles, now you can sing and laugh, now you can meet your girlfriend, now you can dance all night long.

När spelman kommer å polka' går, | då blir de' fart uti bena. Och blode' bränner å hjärta' slår så gruvlight ljuvligt vill ja' mena. Då kan en känna va' livet är bland granna flecker å blommer. Då ska en känna att en ä' kär, då kan en känna de' ä' sommer.
When the fiddler comes and the polka is played, | then the legs speed up, the blood is burning, and the heart is beating, so terribly exciting it is. Then you know what life is about among girls and flowers, Then you know that you are in love, then you know it is summer.
| Refräng: | :|: Å hejsan, ja' ä' så innerli't kär säj, tösen, får ja' ta dej så här? Långt in i skogen ja' dej nu bär där bara månen ser oss. :|: Chorus: | :|: Oh yippy! I am so happy and excited Say, my girl, can I take you? I am taking you deep into the woods where only the moon can see us. :|: 3.

När allt ä' stilla å allt ä' tyst | å skogens blommer de sova. Min flickas läppar som nyss ja' kysst va' tror ni väl att de mig lova? Ja' säjer ej va' de lova mej men fråga månen som lyser. Han ser ju allt men han skvallrar ej han bara ler i mjugg å myser.
When everything is still and quiet | and the flowers in the woods are sleeping, my girl's lips that I just have kissed, what do you think they promised me? I will not tell what they promised me, but ask the glowing moon. He sees everything, but does not tell. He just laughs and winks in secret.
| Refräng: | :|: Å hejsan, ja' ä' så innerli't trött nu ska vi sova, sova så sött. Månen han lyser, lyser så rött lyser i sommarnattten. :|: Chorus: | :|: Oh yippy! I am so incredibly exhausted. Now we will sleep so sweetly. The moon, he shines so red, lighting up the summer night. :|: |
