by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Jag kysser dig och ledsnar ej
 (Sung text for setting by J. Sibelius)
 See base text
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Jag kysser dig och ledsnar ej. 
Och skall jag nå'nsin ledsna? Nej! 
Nu, goda flicka, svara mig, 
Hvad sällhet kyssen skänker dig? 

Du älskar den så väl som jag: 
Nu säg, hvad utgör dess behag? 
Jag frågar nu, jag frågte nyss 
Och får till svar blott kyss på kyss. 

 ... 

För min del jag ej hittat på, 
Hvad godt i kyssen finnas må; 
Men jag vill dö, om jag en stund 
Skall stängas från din purpurmun.

Composition:

    Set to music by Jean Sibelius (1865 - 1957), "Jag kysser dig och ledsnar ej", stanzas 1-2,6

Text Authorship:

  • by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877), "Kyssen"
