He had a carriage built for himself,

Haj domdiderag, Haj domdiderag,
Four brown horses he hitched to it.
He let himself be taken through a land,

Haj domdiderag, Haj domdiderag,
Where people were enslaved.
They hitched the youth to a plow,

To a very heavy plow.
His girl found out about this,

‘Unhitch my most beloved one,

From this very heavy plow.’
“If you can dance very daintly,

Haj domdiderag, Haj domdiderag,
Can you step up very proudly?”
The maiden danced very daintly,

From the very heavy plow.
“Thank you, thank you, maiden,
Thank you, thank you, maiden,
Haj domdiderag, Haj domdiderag,
For having freed me”.
“Up to now you were my fine loved one,
Up to now you were my fine loved one,
Haj domdiderag, Haj domdiderag,
Now you shall be my wife!”
