Translation:
"Well well, Scanian man
war and struggles are upon you, upon you!
And guns are near at hand
and guns are near at hand!
Behold, soldiers and riders gain glory, much
with weapons and rapiers in warlike fashion
here in the Scanian lands
here in the Scanian lands!
Our enemy came from Småland here
with juniper twigs in his skin, in his skin!
And wants to reach down to Lomma
and wants to reach down to Lomma!
Thence we try our fists to encourage
to alongside God's help bash him so
that his leggings are utterly emptied
that his leggings are utterly emptied!
A cock sang by village and farm
that cock is well cared for, cared for!
We shall not ever omit this
we shall not ever omit this!:
Of iron is his tongue, of lead is his speech
Enemy, beware when this cock does crow
here farmers teacheth you warfare
here farmers teacheth you warfare!
