Eg vil deg 'kje elske, du elskar 'kje meg, eg vil ikkje öye mitt Sinn. Eg kann deg 'kje elske, du elskar 'kje meg, din Hugen han flyg som ein Vind. Aa eg som deg elskar likevæl, det brenn baade Dag og Nott, det bivrar for Augo baad' Morgo og Kvæld, og Hugen han hev det 'kje gott. Eg vil deg 'kje elske, for kaut ein Kar te gjera meg sjölv til Spott, eg er hugheil eg, eg mi Gjerning har, i den so oner eg gott. Men endaa eg elska, elska deg maa, um du so meg skydde som Eld. Um eg skal og graate mitt Hjarteblo, eg elskar, elskar deg lel.

Je ne veux pas t'aimer, tu ne m'aimes pas, je ne veux pas me mettre martel en tête. Je peux ne pas t'aimer, tu ne m'aimes pas, tes pensées se sont envolées comme le vent. Oh, moi qui t'aime malgré tout, je me consume jour et nuit j'ai les yeux troubles du matin au soir, et j'ai la tête à l'envers. Je ne veux pas t'aimer, car je suis un homme trop fier pour être moi-même tourné en dérision, je suis enthousiaste, moi, j'ai mon travail dans lequel je me trouve bien. Mais malgré tout j'aime, je dois t'aimer bien que tu m'évites comme le feu. Dussé-je en pleurer le sang de mon cœur, j'aime, je t'aime tout de même.
