Pilutta-Visan [English translation]

(Elisabeth)

Madicken, Madicken, nah nah nah nah

I know a secret that's just for me

Nah nah I'm not telling you what it is

Nah nah, even though you probably really want to know

Nah nah, a secret

Nah nah, that no one, no one knows

An no one on earth can find out either

But of course, if you're nice

and give me a caramel or two

then maybe, maybe I'll tell you tonight

(Madicken)

Oh my, you're so childish, you poor little Lisabeth!

I don't give at all about your stupid little secret

It's something silly, I'm sure

and whatever it is, I'll find out anyway

Nah nah

I know you'll tell me

I bet you will, 'cause I know you

I know that as soon as tonight

Everything will come out with a bang

It'll be fine without even the slightest caramel

(Elisabeth)

You think it's silly, but it's something good

and I found out from mom today

(Madicken)

From mom - so what? Then I want to know it too

Tell me immediately, tell me what it is

(Elisabeth)

No, do you know what, what mom said

that I couldn't say what it is

you'll see when it's your birthday

But imagine if you'd get

a silk hat with pink roses on?

But I'm not telling, you'll have to understand that

(Both)

Nah nah, nah nah

Nah nah, nah nah, you and me

Nah nah, nah nah, nah you and me
