Med en primulaveris

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Our translations: FRE GER

Du Vårens milde, skjønne Barn,
tag Vårens første Blomme,
og kast den ej, fordi du ved,
at Somrens Roser komme.

Ak, vist er Somren lys og smuk
og rig er Livets Høst,
men Våren er den dejligste
med Elskovs Leg og Lyst.

Og du og jeg, min ranke Mø,
står jo i Vårens Rødme!
Så tag da min Blomst,
men giv igjen dit unge Hjertes Sødme.

Avec une primevère

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

Douce et belle enfant du printemps,
prends la première fleur du printemps,
et ne la jette pas parce que tu sais
que viendront les roses de l'été.

Oh certes l'été est beau et lumineux 
et l'automne de la vie est riche,
mais le printemps est le plus charmant,
avec les jeux et les plaisirs de l'amour.

Et toi et moi, ma délicate amie,
sommes enflammés par le printemps !
Alors prends ma fleur,
et en retour donne-moi la douceur de ton jeune cœur.
