Drøm!

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Our translations: FRE

Bliv, o bliv i dine Drømmes Verden,
Hig ej mod Livets virkelige Færd!
Det har kun Nats og Middagslysets Farve,
Drømmen har ene Morgenrødens Skjær; --
Dør du og har levet, død er du Livets,
Aanden vil da søge til Jorden igjen;
Dør du som Drømmer, dø da kan du rolig,
Hele din Verden med dig blegner hen.

Rêve !

Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)

Reste, ô reste dans le monde de tes rêves,
N'aspire pas au voyage de la vraie vie !
Elle n'a que les couleurs de la lumière de la nuit et de midi,
Le rêve a la teinte rose de l'aurore ;
Si tu meurs et as vécu, tu meurs de la vie,
Alors ton âme cherchera à retourner à la terre ;
Si tu meurs comme un rêveur, alors tu peux mourir tranquille,
Tout ton monde s'éteindra avec toi.
