Jeg rejste en dejlig Sommerkvæld
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Jeg rejste en dejlig Sommerkvæld
Igjennem en ensom Dal.
Så blankt stod Fjeldet ved Solfadstid
Og blå var Fjorden og grøn hver Lid,
Mens Sommerluften og Birkeduften
strøg om mig blid.
En rankvokst Jente med røde Bånd
Om Flettens vægtige Guld,
På Vangen sad med sit Strikketøj.
En Flok af Gjeder om hende fløj,
Den Vogter stille, mens Elv og Kilde
gled uden Støj.
Hvad mon hun tænkte den Jente rank
I Somrens drømmende Kvæld?
Alene, ene i Dalen trang!
Mon Længslen ej over Fjeld sig svang?
Tys, Luren svarer! Mod Fjeldet farer
en Vemodsklang.

Je voyageais par une délicieuse soirée...
Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Je voyageais par une délicieuse soirée d'été
Dans une vallée solitaire.
La montagne étincelait au coucher du soleil,
Le fjord était bleu, chaque versant vert,
Tandis que vent d'été et parfum des bouleaux
Me caressaient doucement .
Une fille gracile, avec un ruban rouge
Sur l'or pur de ses nattes,
Était assise dans le clos avec son tricot.
Un troupeau de chèvres autour d'elle,
Gardien silencieux, tandis que la rivière et la fontaine
coulaient sans bruit.
Que peut bien penser cette fille fluette
Dans cette soirée d'été chargée de rêves ?
Seule, seule dans l'étroite vallée !
Son attente ne se tournait-elle pas vers la montagne ?
Chut, la trompe répond ! Venant de la montagne
On entend un son mélancolique.
