Blomstervise

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Our translations: FRE

Danmarks Sommer gik sin Gang --
Blomst til Blomst i Solen sang :
Kys mig blidt! Kys mig tidt!
Bland dit Støv med mit!

Gul og rød og blaa og hvid
sang: kom hid! Det er Tid!
Bien fløj i Ring og Sving,
lod som ingenting.

Bien er en flittig Mand,
rejser rundt om Blomsterrand,
læsser Honning i sin Baad,
slynger støt sin Traad.

Kys mig blidt! Kys mig tidt!
Tag mit Støv og giv mig dit!
Blomster sang blandt Græssets Straa
gule, røde, blaa.

Blomster sang paa Biens Vej:
Vrag mig ej! Smag paa mig!
Kys mig blidt og kys mig tidt
[bland]¹ dit Støv med mit!

Chanson des fleurs

Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)

L'été au Danemark poursuivait son chemin --
les unes après les autres, les fleurs au soleil chantaient :
Embrasse-moi doucement, embrasse-moi souvent !
Mêle ton pollen au mien !

Les jaunes, rouges, bleues et blanches
chantaient : viens par là ! C'est le moment !
Les abeilles tournaient en rond,
n'avaient l'air de rien.

L'abeille est une personne appliquée,
elle navigue au bord des fleurs,
elle charge son bateau de miel,
tresse fermement son fil.

Embrasse-moi doucement, embrasse-moi souvent !
Prends mon pollen et donne-moi le tien !
Les fleurs chantaient parmi les brins d'herbe
jaunes, rouges, bleues.

Les fleurs chantaient sur le chemin des abeilles :
Ne me rejette pas ! Goûte-moi !
Embrasse-moi doucement, embrasse-moi souvent !
[Mêle]¹ ton pollen au mien !
