English translation

Someone who died last year, they have seen him carrying a bucket, and a cat has run right after him. He walked down towards the river, as if to fetch something. They believed that he had some money hidden, but where, they could not figure out.

Original transcription (Swedish)

En som dödde i fjol så har dom sett hur han har burit ett ämbar, och en katta har sprungit strax efter. Han gick liksom neråt ån och skulle hemta. De trodde, att han hade något pengar gömda, men var kunde de ej räkna ut.
