Eg hev som vigde Mammons Træl
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Eg hev som vigde Mammons Træl
for vesal Vinning selt mi Sjæl;
for dette arme Stykkje Jord
eg fraa meg Fred og Frelse svor.
No finn eg aldri Heim og Hamn,
Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn!
Den ut er dømd or Himmelrik'
som her i Verdi gjorde Svik;
han miste Ord, han miste Tru
og kan kje millom Vener bu.
No veglaus driv min brotne Stamn,
Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn!
Eg gjekk som ærelause Svein
og flutte denne Deildestein;
eg braut mitt Ord, eg braut mi Tru
og kan kje millom Vener bu.
Eg finn kje Fred og Faderfamn,
Gud hjelpe meg i Jesu Namn!

Comdamné
Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
J'ai, comme un esclave consacré à Mammon,
vendu mon âme pour un maigre profit ;
pour ce misérable bout de terre j'ai fait un serment
aux dépens de ma paix et de ma liberté.
Maintenant je ne trouverai jamais ni maison ni havre,
Dieu, aide-moi, au nom de Jésus !
Celui là est banni du royaume des cieux
qui a commis une perfidie sur la terre ;
il a manqué à sa parole, il a manqué de foi
et ne peut vivre au milieu d'amis.
Maintenant j'erre, mes racines brisées,
Dieu, aide-moi, au nom de Jésus !
J'ai agi comme un paysan sans honneur
et j'ai déplacé la borne ;
j'ai manqué à ma parole, j'ai manqué à ma foi
et je ne peux vivre au milieu d'amis.
Je ne trouve ni la paix ni les bras de mon père,
Dieu, aide-moi, au nom de Jésus !
