Translation by Thor Næve Lange (1851 - 1915)
Det er den blide Sommer
Language: Danish (Dansk) after the Spanish (Español)
Det er den blide Sommer, Og Solen skinner klar, Og taler den ene Sangfugl, Den faaer vel hundrede Svar. Og hver en Svend og Pige De dandse nu Haand i Haand; Men jeg er en ussel Fange, Der ligger i haarde Baand. Selv seer jeg aldrig Dagen, Naar Solen skinner paa Sky; Der sad en Irisk derude, Den sang i Morgengry. Den sang de glade Sange, Den bar saa mangt et Bud. Nu har min Fjende skudt den, -- Men derfor straffer ham Gud!
