Venevil
 (Sung text for setting by H. Kjerulf)
 See original
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Our translations:  FRE
Hun Venevil hopped' på letten fod 
  sin kjærest' imod. 
Han sang, så det hørtes over kirketag: 
  "God dag! god dag!" 
Og alle de småfugle sang lystig med i lag: 
  "Til sanktehans 
  er der latter og dans; 
men siden ved jeg lidet, om hun fletter sin krans!" 

Hun fletted' ham en af de blomster blå: 
  -- "Mine øjne små!" 
Han tog den, han kasted' og tog den igjen: 
  "Farvel, min ven!" 
og jubled', mens han sprængte over agerrenen hen: 
  "Til sanktehans 
  er der latter og dans; 
men siden ved jeg lidet, om hun fletter sin krans!" 

 ...
