by Vilhelm Krag (1871 - 1933)

Sommerkveld
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Our translations:  FRE
Hei, spillemænd, op med en lystig danse,
lad buen gå rapt over strenge.
Så danse vi ud i den duftende kveld
vidt ud over alle enge.

Hei, spillemænd, op med en lystig dans,
så frem med jer, gutter og jenter!
Og jeg skal gå først, for iaften jeg ved,
at ikke på mig hun venter.

Og så skal vi danse den lange nat,
for hun favnes nu af en anden.
Og bring mig så hidhen en sølvtung pokal
og fyld den med vin til randen.

Jeg drikker din skål, du min hjertenskjær,
mens nattågen drar over enge,
og dansen går vild i den duftende kveld
til toner fra alle strenge.
