Gyngevise

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Our translations: FRE

Frem og tilbage,
frem og tilbage,
alle dine sollyse levedage.
Jeg skal vugge dig, vennen min,
vugge dig lige i himmelen ind,
vugge din sorg tilhvile.

Luk dit bedrøvede øiepar,
jeg skal vugge din sorg tilhvile.
Jeg skal fortælle de deiligste ting,
så du i drømme skal smile.

Så skal jeg føre dig frem til fest,
så skal dit øiepar stråle i glæde.
Så skal jeg skue i brudedragt
dyreste vennen min dansen at træde.

Frem og tilbage,
frem og tilbage,
alle dine sollyse levedage!
Jeg skal vugge dig, vennen min,
vugge dig lige i himmelen ind,
vugge din sorg tilhvile.

Berceuse

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

D'avant en arrière,
d'avant en arrière,
tous les jours ensoleillés de ta vie.
Je te bercerai, mon amour,
te bercerai jusque dans le ciel,
te bercerai pour apaiser ton chagrin.

Ferme tes yeux tristes,
je te bercerai pour apaiser ton chagrin.
Je raconterai les choses les plus charmantes
pour que tu souries dans tes rêves.

Ainsi je te conduirai à la fête,
ainsi tes yeux rayonneront de  plaisir.
Ainsi je verrai en robe de mariée
danser mon plus cher amour.

D'avant en arrière,
d'avant en arrière,
tous les jours ensoleillés de ta vie !
Je te bercerai, mon amour,
te bercerai jusque dans le ciel,
te bercerai pour apaiser ton chagrin.
