by Vetle Vislie (1858 - 1933)
Translation Singable translation by Wilhelm Henzen (1850 - 1910)

Skal eg daa aldri meire
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Skal eg daa aldri meire 
faa kyssa din raude Kinn, 
Aldri meire ved Barmen din 
faa svæva Sorgerne inn. 

Livet er surt, Sorgi er saar, 
Naar Vener skal skiljast aat, 
Daa dryper der Blod av Hjartarøter, 
Og Kinnen vert bleik og vaat. 

Min einaste her paa Jordi,
Du som er alt for meg, 
Um Kjærleiken din er fom Bylja den blaa,
Aldri so gløymnar eg deg!

Eg skal kvisfra deg inn i Øyra 
Kvor sutefull svevnlaus Nott 
Sæla paa alle dine Veger 
Og Helsebot mot Heimsens Sott! 

Confirmed with Lur-Saat. Disur og Stev samla av Olav Normann, Kristiania, Bertrand Jensens Forlag, 1897, pages 140-141.

Soll ich denn nie mehr küssen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Soll ich denn nie mehr küssen
dein weißrotes Wängelein,
nie an deiner weichen Brust
die Sorgen schläfern mehr ein?

Ach, wie so schwer ist doch das Sein.
wenn Freunde das Schicksal trennt!
Von Blute dann trieft des Herzens Wurzel,
von Tränen die Wange brennt.

Du Einzige hier auf Erden,
du alles Glück für mich!
Dein Lieben ist blauender Meerwoge gleich,
doch niemals vergesse ich dich.

Ich will flüstern dir zu im Schweigen
der schlummerlos dunklen Nacht!
Scheuche von allen deinen Wegen
den Kummer fort des Glückes Macht!
