Balladen Om Herr Fredrik Åkare Och Den Söta Fröken Cecilia Lind

From Eckerö lodge, you can hear accordion and bass
The full moon shines as if it were made of glass
There dances Mr. Fredrik Driver cheek to cheek
with the little Miss Cecilia Lind

She dances and closes her eyes so close
She follows in the dance exactly where he wants
He leads and she follows as light as a breeze
But why does Cecilia Lind blush?

Was it because of what Mr. Fredrik Driver said?
"You smell so good and you dance so well
Your waist is slim and your bosom is round
How beautiful you are, Cecilia Lind!"

But the dance ended, where would they go?
They lived so close to each other anyway.
In the end, they reached Cecilia's gate.
"Now I want to be kissed," said Cecilia Lind

Have some respect, Mr. Fredrik Driver, old man, be ashamed
Cecilia Lind is just a child
Pure as a flower, shy as a deer
"I'll soon be seventeen," said Cecilia Lind

And the stars wander and the hours fly
And Fredrik is old, but the moon is new
Yes, Fredrik is old but love is blind
"Oh, kiss me again!" said Cecilia Lind
