| DEN VACKRASTE VISAN OM KÄRLEKEN | THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG ABOUT LOVE |
| | |
| Den vackraste visan om kärleken | The most beautiful song about love, my dear, |
| kom aldrig på pränt. | was never written down. |
| Den blev kvar i en dröm på Montmartre | It dwelled in the heart of a shy young man |
| hos en fattig Parisstudent. | in a little country town. |
| | |
| Den skulle ha lyst över länderna | It would have glown over all countries bright |
| och bringat en vår på knä. | and made sweet springflowers bow. |
| Och en värld skulle tryckt till sitt hjärta | Igniting a spark in the hearts of men |
| en ny, en ny Musset. | to leave the gun for the plow. |
| | |
| Han skulle ha vandrat längs kajerna | He would have walked under the starlight |
| med en blåögd liten Lucile | with his wide-eyed compassionate girl, |
| och sjungit om violer och kyssar | And each verse of violets and loving |
| en vårljum natt i april. | would have glown like a precious pearl. |
| | |
| Men den vackraste visan om kärleken, | The most beautiful song about love, my dear, |
| den kom aldrig på pränt. | was never written down. |
| Den begravdes i en massgrav i Flandern | It died with a young man, sent as soldier |
| med en fattig Parisstudent. | to a distant border town. |
