by Vilhelm Krag (1871 - 1933)

Gyngevise
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Our translations:  FRE
Frem og tilbage,
frem og tilbage,
alle dine sollyse levedage.
Jeg skal vugge dig, vennen min,
vugge dig lige i himmelen ind,
vugge din sorg tilhvile.

Luk dit bedrøvede øiepar,
jeg skal vugge din sorg tilhvile.
Jeg skal fortælle de deiligste ting,
så du i drømme skal smile.

Så skal jeg føre dig frem til fest,
så skal dit øiepar stråle i glæde.
Så skal jeg skue i brudedragt
dyreste vennen min dansen at træde.

Frem og tilbage,
frem og tilbage,
alle dine sollyse levedage!
Jeg skal vugge dig, vennen min,
vugge dig lige i himmelen ind,
vugge din sorg tilhvile.
