Du Mor, som einsam heime gjeng
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Du Mor, som einsam heime gjeng,
du lengtar etter meg
og syter jamt for vesle Gut,
som sveiv so langt fraa deg.
Du greet for meg so mang ei Taar,
daa som eg heiman foor.
Eg saag 'kje Moers Hug var saar,
eg vyrd' 'kje Moers Ord.
Eg vilde ut i Verda eg.
Og vitt og breitt eg rann.
So langt sveiv Hugen min fraa deg
ditt Hjarte for meg brann.
Eg vilde ut i Verda eg,
med Elsk til fagre Möy.
Og Hugen sveiv so langt fraa deg
du kunne for meg döy.

Toi, mère qui es seule à la maison
Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Toi, mère qui es seule à la maison
Toi, mère qui es seule à la maison
tu te languis de moi
et te fais grand souci pour ton petit gars
qui court si longtemps loin de toi.
Tu as versé pour moi bien des larmes
depuis que j’ai quitté la maison.
Je ne voyais pas combien tes jours étaient longs,
Je n’ai pas tenu compte de tes paroles.
Je voulais parcourir le monde,
Et courus à droite et à gauche.
Mes pensées planaient loin de toi,
ton cœur brûlait pour moi.
Je voulais parcourir le monde,
pour l’amour des jolies filles.
Et mes pensées planant loin de toi,
Tu pouvais mourir.
