Stakkars liten gjætergut,seint i senge, tile ut.Mjølka ho var sur og blå,osten fekk han lite tå.Smøret fekk han alder sjå.
Stakkars hjuring som lyt gjætei regn og uvær, kalde væte!Stakkars hjuring, slepp han inni regn og uvær, kalde vind.
Poor little cowhand,late to bed, on the floor outside.The milk turned sour and blue,from the cheese he got the smallest piece.1The butter, he had never seen.
Poor shepherd who tends to the cattle,in the rain and storm, he is cold and wet!Poor shepherd, let him inin the rain and storm, cold wind.
