With the song title "Den lilla fågeln", the lyrics tell the story of a girl named "Lena", who is sleeping a Sunday morning when being wakened up by a bird appearing next to her window looking for food, and she wants to let the bird in, but not rob the bird on its freedom. The "Luffarpojken" version describes a vagabond boy, on the run from an orphanage.
