Farvel

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Our translations: FRE

En svane strög mod syd...
Hvad glansfuldt punkt mod himlen i höstens kvæld!
Med den flöj drömmevrimlen...
"Elskte, farvel! Elskte, farvel!"

Så ren som sne på fjeld,
du sjæl med vinger hvide!
I höstens kvæld nu visne löv blot glide...
"Elskte, farvel! Elskte, farvel!"

Adieu

Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

Un cygne s'en est allé vers le sud …
Quel point éclatant dans le ciel d'un soir d'automne !
Avec lui se sont envolés une foule de rêves …
« Bien-aimée, adieu ! Bien-aimée, adieu ! »

Tu es aussi pure que la neige sur la montagne,
âme aux ailes blanches !
Aujourd'hui dans le soir d'automne seules glissent les feuilles mortes …
« Bien-aimée, adieu ! Bien-aimée, adieu ! »
