Paa fyste Strengen I

Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)

Our translations: FRE

Det gule Haare utover Nakken,
lett og sameleg felle Stakken.
Bringesylve so fint og nett,
og Danselage ho heve lett.

Ja naar du dansar dei Kinna blömer,
og Sut og Saknad fraa Hjarta römer.
Auga lyser og Munnen lær,
so frisk ein Laatt'e imot meg slær.

Men naar dit Auga so stille blenkjer,
skal undras paa, kva det er du tenkjer.
Og naar du glaaper so ende ut 
aa gjev at aldri du maa faa Sut.

Sur la première corde I

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

Les cheveux blonds déliés sur la nuque,
la robe tombant, légère et ondoyante.
Des boucles d'argent si fines et jolies,
elle entraîne facilement à danser.

Oui, quand tu danses, tes joues rosissent,
et du cœur soucis et tristesses s'enfuient.
Tes yeux brillent, ta bouche rit,
et jette à mon adresse un rire si frais.

Mais quand tes yeux se ferment si doucement,
je voudrais savoir ce que tu penses.
Et quand tu regardes devant toi fixement,
oh, puisses-tu n'avoir jamais de peine.
