Paa fyste Strengen III

Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)

Our translations: FRE

Aa me hev sulla ihop so lengje,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa kvardin Streng'e,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa Strengjen din,
i Hugen leikar du ut og inn.

Eg veit meg aldri, koss det er vore,
men kvar di Aatferd, ja kvart ditt Orde,
ja kvar den Ljoen, du leet for meg,
i Hjarta mitt hev han skreve seg.

Aa maatt' eg sei berre det eg vilde,
at det er ingen og held so gild'e, 
at ikkje nokon so likar eg --
eg aldri trur, at eg glöymer deg.

Sur la première corde III

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

Oh, nous avons si longtemps chanté ensemble,
je connais le son de chaque corde,
je connais le son de ta corde,
tu en joues et il va et vient dans mes pensées.

Je ne sais pas du tout comment cela se produit,
mais chacun des  gestes, chacun des mots,
chacun des sons que tu m'adresses
se sont inscrits dans mon cœur.

Oh puissé-je juste oser te le dire,
on ne peut trouver personne aussi chère,
personne que j'aime autant –
je crois que jamais je ne t'oublierai.
