Lenore, Dagen er grim og graa
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Available translation(s): FRE
Lenore, Dagen er grim og graa,
jeg kan ikke bære dens Tynge,
jeg hører ikke dens Klokker slaa
og ikke dens Fugle synge.
Lenore, lille, min Frue fin,
saa dejligt dit Øje straaler.
Lenore, skænk mig din gyldne Vin
af Nattens duftende Skaaler.
De blankeste Stjerner paa os ser,
Violerne blaaner i Vange.
Lenore, kys mig, kys mig mer,
og kys mig de tusinde Gange.

Lénore, le jour est affreux et gris
Language: French (Français)  after the Danish (Dansk)
Lénore, le jour est affreux et gris,
Je ne peux supporter son fardeau,
Je n'entends pas le sacristain sonner,
Ni les oiseaux chanter.
Lénore, ma petite, ma mignonne femme,
Tes yeux brillent si joliment.
Lénore, verse-moi ton vin doré
Dans la coupe parfumée de la nuit.
Au-dessus de nous brillent les étoiles,
Les violettes bleuissent dans les champs.
Lénore, embrasse-moi, embrasse-moi encore,
Et embrasse-moi des milliers de fois.
