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!"

Sur son pied léger Venedil sautillait
vers son amoureux.
On l'entendit chanter par dessus le toit de l'église :
« Bonjour ! Bonjour ! »
Et tous les joyeux petits oiseaux chantèrent :
« À la Saint Jean
il y a des rires et des danses ;
mais après je ne sais trop si elle tressera sa couronne ! »
Elle lui en tressa une de fleurs bleues :
« avec mes petits yeux ! »
Il la prit, il la jeta et la reprit :
« Au revoir mon ami ! »
et il rit en bondissant jusqu'au bout du champ :
« À la Saint Jean
il y a des rires et des danses ;
mais après je ne sais trop si elle tressera sa couronne ! »
