Den försmådda
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Available translation(s): FRE GER
Ax vid ax på åkern vagga,
Korn vid korn i axen gömmas;
Så hvart flyktigt ord, du fällde,
Växer i mitt trogna hjerta.
Grymma, otacksamma gosse,
Odlarn går att berga tegen,
Men du sår blott, du, och skörden
Lemnar du åt himlens foglar,
Lemnar du åt snö och vindar.

La dédaignée
Language: French (Français)  after the Swedish (Svenska)
L'épi contre l'épi se berce dans les champs
La graine contre la graine se cache dans l'épi ;
Chaque parole évanescente que tu as prononcée
Pousse pareillement dans mon cœur fidèle.
Garçon cruel et ingrat,
Le paysan prend soin de son lopin,
mais toi, tu ne fais que semer, et la récolte,
tu l'abandonnes aux oiseaux du ciel,
tu l'abandonnes à la neige et aux vents.
