* Bjorn’s Translation of Nils Ferlin’s ‘I folkviseton’ poem (as a contrast to the translation as it appears here):

My heart, I said, it was thine;
Thy heart, you said, it was mine
And you said you liked the couplet
Where your tears were mine when you wept
So these were the rhymes we made
Then you married sensibly
I get royalties each time it’s played
And nothing has changed for me
