from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Thor Næve Lange (1851 - 1915)

Alle de urter er sprungne ud
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Alle de Urter er sprungne ud 
  Paa Marken saa mangefold; 
Jeg under en høvisk Jomfru vel, 
  Min Glæde har hun i Vold.

Hver en Gang, jeg den Jomfru saa, 
  Mig yppedes højt at sjunge, 
Men den, der mister sin bedste Ven,
  Ham falder Sorgen tung.

Der kom de Tidender til vor By,
  At de havde skilt os ad ;
Saa traadte jeg selv saa mangen Sti,
  Det gjorde mig lidet glad.

Lærkens Sang er ikke lang,
  Naar Regn og Kulde ham tvinger;
Ikkun udi den blide Sol 
  Han løfter op sine Vinger.

Men nu er jeg som den mindste Fisk,
  Der svømmer i stride Sund;
Naar andre Smaafiske lege Dands,
  Den dølger sig nede paa Bund. 

Confirmed with Nogle folkeviser oversatte og efterlignede af Thor Lange, Kjøbenhavn (Copenhagen), Gyldendalske Boghandels Forlag, 1878, pages 68-69.
