Nu vist det våres i Norges dale, nu kukker gjøgen fra skogens sale, og hæggen dufter udover hej, men jeg, mit Norge, går langt fra dig! Der er en gård ved det blanke tjernet, med skog omkring og med fjeld i fjernet, den gamle gården jeg altid ser, og birkeskogen mod mig ler. Hvad gav jeg ej, om end under birken jeg nu fik ligge og se mod kirken og se mod himlen og bræens tind! å, Norge, aldrig du går af sind! I min drømme jeg hører luren og bjeldeklangen og fosseduren og da jeg vågner med grådfuldt blik. å, Norge, at jeg ifra dig gik! Jeg ser en jente ved kirkeledet, med sorh i øje, med bog i klædet. Det blyge øje jeg kjender godt; å, Norge, hvad har jeg dog forsmåt!

Dabar gimtinėj pavasarėja, Paukšteliai gieda miškų alėjoj, Ir medžiai kvepia kaskart gaiviau, Bet aš, gimtine, toli likau! Menu prie upės sodybą seną, Ją supa miškas, kalnai aptemę, Senoj sodyboj, kurią menu Beržai man šoka aplink ratu. O kad galėčiau po jais gulėti, Bažnyčios bokštą pro juos stebėti, Žiūrėt kaip teka srovė gili! Šalie gimtoji, tu man brangi! Girdžiu sapne grojant skambią lyrą. Ten varpas skamba, krioklys prabyla. Staiga prabudęs graudžiai verkiu. Nes tremtinys aš dabar esu! Matau bažnyčioj merginą laukiant, Jos akys liūdnos, knyga jos rankoj. Šį drovų žvilgsnį gerai menu; Tave, gimtine, aš branginu!
