Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Our translations: FRE
Og ræven lå under birkerod bort ved lyngen, og haren hoppede på lette fod over lyngen. Det er vel noget til solskinsdag! Det glitrer for, og det glitrer bag over lyngen. Og ræven lo under birkerod bort ved lyngen, og haren hoppede i vilde mod over lyngen. Jeg er så glad over alle ting! Hu hej, gør du slige svære spring over lyngen? Og ræven vented bag birkerod bort ved lyngen, og haren tumlede ham midt imod over lyngen. Men gud forbarme sig, er du der! - Å, kære, hvor tør du danse her over lyngen?

Ingrids Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Das Füchslein lag unterm Birkenreis Auf der Haide, Das Häslein hüpfte leichten Fusses leis' Auf der Haide! Das kann es, wenn die Sonne lacht', Es glänzt ja alles in wahrer Pracht Auf der Haide! Das Füchslein lacht unterm Birkenreis Auf der Haide, Das Häslein hüpfte voll Muth und Fleiss Auf der Haide. Ich bin so froh in dieser Welt! Juchhe, kannst springen du so in's Feld Auf der Haide? Das Füchslein lauert am Birkenreis Auf der Haide, Das Häslein war gefangen, eh's es weiss Auf der Haide. Ach Gott erbarm, was wird aus mir? Ja Kind, wie durftest Du tanzen hier Auf der Haide.
