Song Cycle by David Monrad Johansen (1888 - 1974)

1. Den varande fugl
 (Sung text)

Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Der kom ein fugl av annad land,
det synger i skog, forgylte fjødrir saa hadde han.
Den eine gjeng aldri utav din hug.
Forgylte fjødrir saa hadde han,
det synger i skog, han sette seg paa jomfrubur og song.
Aa høyre du fugl, eg vil deg frega,
kvi maa 'ki folkid um notti sova?
Aa høyre du jomfru, du tar meg 'ki frega,
det er deg baade til sorg og trega,
aa du skal eiga dei bonni ni,
din yngste broder er fader til di.
Sant hjølpe meg Gud og den Helligaand,
det synger i skog, saa vist det var sant som fuglen song!
