Långt bort om fjärdens våg
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Långt bort om fjärdens våg,
långt bort om fjälets topp
du einsam dagen såg
och växte ensam opp.
Jag saknade ej dig;
Jag sökte ej din stråt;
jag visste ej en stig,
som skulle lett ditåt.
Jag kände ej din far,
jag kände ej din mor,
jag såg ej var du var,
jag såg ej vart du for.
Liksom den bäck, där rann,
för den, som rinner här,
vi voro för varann,
så länge du var där;
Två plantor, mellan dem
en äng i blomning står;
två fåglar, som fått hem,
i skilda lundars snår.
O, andra nejders son!
vi flög du dädan, säg?
O fågel långt ifrån!
vem styrde hit din väg?
Till hjärtat, som var kallt,
säg, hur du lågor bar -
Hur kunde du bli allt
för den, du intet var?

Qui t'a emmené ici ?
Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Loin des vagues de la baie,
loin des pics des montagnes,
Seul tu as vu le jour,
et, seul, tu as grandi.
Tu ne me manques pas ;
Je n'ai pas cherché tes traces ;
Je ne connaissais aucun chemin
qui aurait pu mener là.
Je ne connaissais pas ton père,
je ne connaissais pas ta mère,
je ne pouvais voir où tu étais,
je ne pouvais pas voir où tu allais.
Comme le courant, qui courait,
pour celui qui court ici
nous étions l'un pour l'autre
aussi loin que si tu étais là.
Deux plantes, et entre elles
un prairie en fleurs ;
deux oiseaux qui ont trouvé des maisons
dans des fourrés différents.
Oh, fils d'autres climats !
comment as-tu volé de là-bas, dis ?
Oh, oiseau de loin !
qui t'as emmené ici ?
Au cœur qui était froid,
dis comment tu portes des flammes. --
Comment tu pourrais devenir tout
pour celui pour qui tu n'étais rien ?
