Sténen blûmmar                                  [The Poem]

Sténen blûmmar.
Sténen dær ente kann blûmma,
O, sô sténen han blûmmar.

Blûmmorna e fûlla âw farjor.
Farjade som sjyorna norr måûnen sjenor pû dom,
Farjade som dina yjen, min tjæra,
Åû vaarma.
Farjade som óppspilta tângkor,
Fûlla aw farjor som byljor lânt ud i sjøn.

O, sô sténen han blûmmar,
O, sô sténen han blûmmar, sténen dær ente kann
blûmma...

Han dâwtar âw víngen dær javar grædan,
Han dâwtar âw ded dær ente træængor forrklârning,
âw blo,
Rysta krastanor,
Alló i gadorna.
Han dâwtar aw fríhed ad se åû føla
Åû forrhéksar farjriga sommarfula.

Pû den len blûmmar sténen,
Sténen dær ente kann blûmma
Ja kûmmor ijénn,
Ja kûmmor ijénn, min tjæra, mæ en âw blûmmorna.

Remarks: Scanian is by the Scanian dialectologist Ingers said to be "a
distinctive eastern Danish dialect, [...] constituting transitional
stages between island Danish dialects and the most southern Swedish
dialects in Småland, and with the addition of a great many singular
traits." (my transl.) This text is translated from English to
Scanian-Lûng, with the checking of the Dutch and four Scandinavian
versions. Dialectal archives was the main source and local help was used
to a limited degree. It follows Standard Scanian which is a spelling
being developed for the writing of Scanian dialects. There's more on
