Our translations: FRE

Aftnen er stille,
timerne trille
lydløse ned i det evige væld. 
Kun mine tanker
lyttende vanker, -
vil hun ej komme i kvæld,
- ej komme i kvæld? 

Vinteren drømmer,
stjernerne svømmer
gennem dens florlette syner og ler,
nævnende sommer,
elskov og blommer, -
tør hun ej møde mig mer,
- ej møde mig mer?

Rendez‑vous

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Sjöberg)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

Le soir est calme
les heures s'écoulent
sans bruit dans un puits éternel.
Seules mes pensées
errent, prêtant l'oreille,
Ne va -t-elle pas venir ce soir,
pas venir ce soir ?

L'hiver rêve,
les étoiles flottent
à travers un voile elles semblent rire,
appelant été,
amour et fleurs,
osera-telle ne plus me rencontrer,
ne plus me rencontrer ?

 ...
