Hungern river hans vargabuk, och det är kallt i hans stova. Du varg, du varg, kom inte hit. Ungen min får du aldrig.The wolf howls in the forest of the night. He wants to sleep but cannot.

Hey [du (“you”) can be used as a vocative] wolf, hey wolf, do not come here [hither, to here]. My child you will never have.
