Han tvær over bænkene hang
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Our translations: FRE
Han tvær over bænkene hang; hun lystig i dansen sig svang. Hun legte, hun lo med en og med to; -- hans hjærte var nærved at briste, men det var der ingen, som vidste. Hun gik bag ved laden den kvæld, han kom for at sige farvel. Hun kasted sig ned, hun græd og hun græd, sit livs-håb, det skulde hun miste. Men det var der ingen, som vidste. Ham tiden faldt frygtelig lang. Så kom han tilbage en gang. -- Hun havde det godt; hun fred havde fåt; hun tænkte på ham i det sidste. Men det var der ingen, som vidste.

Verborgene Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Er schlich die Wände entlang, sie lustig im Tanze sich schwang; ihr Auge hell lacht' manchem Gesell, ihm wollte das Herz schier erstarren, doch das hat niemand erfahren! Er kam zu scheiden ins Haus, sie trieb's in den Garten hinaus; sie weint und sie weint, zu sterben sie meint; sie hat ihn geliebet seit Jahren, doch das hat niemand erfahren! Ihm ward das Leben zur Qual, so kehrte er wieder einmal. Sie hatte es gut, in Frieden sie ruht; ihr Herz tät' sie treu ihm bewahren, doch das hat niemand erfahren!
