Der skreg en fugl

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Der skreg en fugl over øde hav,
Langt fra Lande.
Den skreg så sårt i den høstgrå dag,
flaksed i brudte, afmægtige slag,
seiled på sorte vinger
bort over hav...

Un oiseau a crié

Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

Un oiseau a crié sur la mer déserte,
Loin de la terre.
Il a crié si douloureusement en ce jour gris d'automne,
épuisé, il battit des ailes, battement impuissant,
cingla sur ses ailes noires,
au loin, sur la mer ...
