Sorry Kenny and slainte ~ it's Swedish! However, I and others have actually played this in a session that was primarily Irish...
Here's the root causes ~

Toward the end, as it went 'a little' off topic:

"Långdans Från Sollerön" ~ another 2nd part
I'm not sure where I found this second part, somewhere online I suspect, possibly from Richard Robinson's massive collection of ABCs or John Chambers' Tunefinder?

Page 42, tune #36 (of 53) ~ "Långdans Från Sollerön" (with another 2nd part)
"36. This is an extremely old tune. Play it 'very' slowly, and if the phrasing never exactly makes sense, at least you'll get used to it. I like this one a lot" ~ Ben Paley
