“Men en stormnatt kan du höra nån som ropar: Hej hå! Ifrån havets djup det kommer, och det låter så: Hej hå! Hej hå!”
But on a stormy night you can hear someone calling: Hey ho! From the ocean depths ["the sea's depth(s)" – intuitively "depth," though the plural is identical – singular is idiomatic in "dras ner i djupet" (be pulled into the depths [depth]), for example] it comes, and it sounds like that: Hey ho! Hey ho! [Or "and it sounds like so," but that is an idiomatic way of saying "and it sounds like that," whereas "and it sounds like this" would normally be put as "och det låter så här." The official lyrics have a colon.]
“Jag är kung över ängarna. Springer utan keps och skor. Dansar och tar ut svängarna. Ropar glatt åt mina kor. Jag är kung över ängarna. Jag skriker högt så folk förstår: Här är en av drängarna. Solen lyser där jag går.”
I am king of the meadows. [I] run without a cap and shoes. [I] dance and take sweeping turns ["take out the turns" – also used figuratively for not holding back, letting loose, and the like]. [I] shout merrily at my cows. I am king of the meadows. I scream out loud so that people understand: Here's one of the farmhands. The sun shines where I walk. [Could also be put in the present continuous. Matches the intuition in Swedish with the [I]s. See the usage notes for -r.]
