This song was written by Carl Michael Bellman sometime between 1780 and 1790. It is therefore difficult, even for Swedish speakers, to understand the whole text. However, I noticed that several English-speaking YouTube users like this song and recording with Imperiet from 1985 - but also asked what the text is about... Here I have therefore tried to add an English subtitle. So, without any claim to correctness, I still hope that this subtitling of Imperiet's video gives some understanding of what this funeral song is about.
