Petter Wahlbäck - Till Österland vill jag fara

Swedish mid-18th century folksong, accredited to Anders Flöija. The first strophes from a dutch medieval song "Naar Oostland Willen Wij Rijden", others from religious sources.
English Translation:
To the land in the east I will travel
where my beloved lives
over mountains and deep valleys
beneath a green linden tree
There I will build a home
Where the ground is always green
Where the trees are always adorned
With flowers
They flower both winter and summer
in the meadow where they grow
One full of nutmeg flowers
the other of little cloves
Prepare yourself my soul
to travel far way
over mountains and dry plains
before the night falls.
I searched throughout my mind
But could not see him there
Where shall I ever find him
Who hold our souls so dear

Thank you Tom, it surely is, it has that typical Swedish melancholy sprinkled with hints of major.
