by Ivar Julius Mortensson-Egnund (1857 - 1934)
Translation Singable translation by Eugen von Enzberg (1858 - 1908)

Paa fyste Strengen III
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Aa me hev sulla ihop so lengje,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa kvardin Streng'e,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa Strengjen din,
i Hugen leikar du ut og inn.

Eg veit meg aldri, koss det er vore,
men kvar di Aatferd, ja kvart ditt Orde,
ja kvar den Ljoen, du leet for meg,
i Hjarta mitt hev han skreve seg.

Aa maatt' eg sei berre det eg vilde,
at det er ingen og held so gild'e, 
at ikkje nokon so likar eg --
eg aldri trur, at eg glöymer deg.

Paa den første stræng III
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Aa, jeg har vandret med dig saa længe,
jeg kjender Lyden paa alle Strænge;
jeg kjender Lyden paa Strængen din,
i Tanker leger du ud og ind.

Jeg ved ej mer, hvordan det kan være,
men hver en Sang som du lod mig lære,
ja hvert dit Ord og dit hele Lag
i Hjærtet leger det Nat og Dag.

Om jeg blot turde det frit udsige:
i Verden finder jeg ej din Lige.
Nej ingen lider jeg slig som dig,
og aldrig bliver du glemt af mig.

From the Sinding score.
