Hilsen

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Our translations: FRE

Den dovne Fjord som gynger og strækker sig i Solen.
De smækre, hvider Terner, som dukker sig deri --
Farvel du lille Damper, som piler mig forbi
og hils den blonde Dame, som venter dig på Molen.

Og sig at hendes Øjne, bedrøvede og ømme, ← les virgules
forfølger mig bestandig ! og spørg dem, hvad de vil !
Fortæl mig, om de græder når Skibet lægger til!
Og sig dem, at jeg kysser dem tit i mine Drømme.

Salutation

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

La crique ondule paresseusement et s'étale au soleil.
Des sternes sveltes et blanches  s'y plongent --
Au revoir petit vapeur qui file devant moi,
et salue la belle dame blonde qui m'attend sur le môle.

Et dis-lui que ses yeux, affligés et douloureux,
me poursuivront toujours ! Et demande-leur ce qu'elle veut !
Rapporte-moi s'ils ont pleuré lorsque le bateau aborda !
Et dis-leur que je les embrasse souvent dans mes rêves.
