När som jag var på mitt adertonde år [English translation]

When I was eighteen, a flower in the make

there was a beautiful man I fell in love with

I wished that he would be mine forever

But this thought of mine was soon to disappear

there was another woman that lied in his embrace

to him she was a rose, sound and ready

Though I have treasured my father and mother dearly, as well as siblings and friends who have loved me here,

this love surpasses them all

I thank you for being my only comfort

And I thank you for all the times I rested in your embrace

In heaven we shall be united again.
