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.

May I then never kiss again thy cheeks blushing rosy red, never upon thy downy breast again lay my weary head? Ah, cruel fate, which now decrees, that friends fond and true must part! With anguish my inmost heart is bleeding, and tears to mine eyes soft start. Thou sweetest on earth, thou best one, thou all in all to me, thy loving is like to the blue of the billows, yea, all my thoughts are of thee. I will whisper soft in thine ear, in the sleepless silence of night: "May all thy paths be free from sorrow, Thy life be filled with gladness bright!"
