Og der gik Dage, og der gik Nætter

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Our translations: FRE

Og der gik Dage, og der gik Nætter
i Tvil og sygnende Længsel hen;
jeg vanked fredløs i dybe Skoge,
men aldrig mødtes vi der igjen.

Og Solen skinned hver Stund paa Dagen,
og Maanen lyste i Natten ned. —
o, Sol og Maane og blanke Stjerner.
hvor er hun henne, min Kjærlighed!

Et il y eut des jours et il y eut des...

Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

Et il y eut des jours et il y eut des nuits
de doute et de désir languissant ;
j'errais plein d'agitation dans les forêts profondes,
mais jamais plus nous ne nous rencontrâmes.

Et le soleil brillait à chaque heure du jour,
et la lune éclairait la terre  pendant la nuit.
Ô soleil, et lune et brillantes étoiles,
où est-il parti, mon amour !
