Dei gamle Fjelli
 (Sung text for setting by C. Sinding)
 See original
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Dei gamle Fjell i Syningom
er alltid eins aa sjaa,
med same gamle Bryningom
og same Toppom paa.
I Bygdom byggja Sveinarne,
og Huset stender laust;
men dei gamle Merkesteinarne
dei standa lika traust.

 ... 

So stod dei gjenom Tiderna,
vel mange tusund Aar;
og Graset voks um Liderna,
og Lauvet kom kvar Vaar;
og Vinden tok um Topparne
og Vatnet tok um Fot;
men dei gilde gamle Kropparne
dei toko traust i mot.
