Flickorna i Smaland (Girls of Smaland)

is a famous song. The text origin is written by Karl Williams, called Kalle i dalen (Kalle from the valley).
The songtext is in swedish:

På lingonröda tuvor och på villande mo
där furuskogen susar, susilul och susilo
där kan du se dem en och en, och stundom två och två
på lingonröda tuvor komma dansade på tå.
Det är flickorna i Småland, det är flickorna från mon
det är flickorna som vallmoblom och lilja och pion,
det är flickorna i Småland, susilul och susilo,
som gå vallande och trallande på villande mo.

The text tells abourt the girls in the nature, how they are dancing in the landscape and nature of Smaland.
