Inga
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Den fag ra ste Dros, som i Bygdi bid, ev Inga unge fraa Øvrelid med Augo so blaa som Nathimlen fin, der tusund Stjernor i Djupet skin. Aa skoda djupt i det Augnepar tœk Hjartafreden fraa mang ein Kar og fyller Bringa med Song og Sull og spinner Hu gen i Draum og Gull. Ho vermar upp Hjarto i Bygdi vid, og heitande vert ho "So li i Lid." Gutarne sovnar med Inga sit Navn, og heitt dei ynskjer seg Inga i Favn.

Inga
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Die hübscheste Dirn', die im Dorf man sieht, das ist jung Inga von Övrelid. Ihr Auge wie gleich dem himmlischen Zelt, wenn Sterngewimmel es rings erhellt! Die Burschen die ihre Schönheit sehn, um deren Frieden ist's bald geschehn, es schwillt ihr Herz und es singt ihr Mund von Träumen, goldig und selig bunt. Ein jedes Gefühl steht für sie in Brand, so wärmt wohl die Sonne des Hügels Wand. "Inga," so flüstert zur Nachtschlafenszeit der Bursch, dann träumt ihm, sie wäre nicht weit!
