Det er Sommerkvæld som da
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Available translation(s): FRE
Det er Sommerkvæld som da,
Duft af Blomster langveis fra,
Gud, jeg synes undertiden,
at det er saa længe siden.
Og der slaar et lummert Drag
gjennem Løvets tunge Tag
og det suser: Kjære, vene,
hvorfor gaar du her alene?

C'est un soir d'été comme alors
Language: French (Français)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
C'est un soir d'été comme alors,
Embaumé par le lointain parfum des fleurs,
Dieu, il me semble quelquefois
qu'il y a si longtemps.
Et il tombe des traits étouffants
du lourd toit de feuillage
d'où l'on murmure : cher ami,
pourquoi viens-tu ici seul ?
