Lad Vaaren komme, mens den vil

(Sung text for setting by E. Sjögren)

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Our translations: FRE

Lad Vaaren komme, mens den vil,
Med Grønt, der grønnes,
Med tusend Fugles Fløjtespil,
Mens Blomster blomstre
 ... 
Favreste Fagre
Kommer at flagre
Ud over Enge og ud over Agre,
Vælder i Haver og skjules i Skove,
Vælter sin Duft over Vang, over Vove --
Hvad gør de mig?
Mit Hjærte er ej Blomst, ej Blad,
Og Vaaren gør det ikke glad:
Det har sin egen, sære Vaar --
      Naar?

Laisse venir le printemps lorsqu'il veut

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Sjögren)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)

Laisse venir le printemps lorsqu'il veut,
Avec les plantes qui verdissent,
Avec le chant de flûte de mille oiseaux,
Lorsque les fleurs éclosent
Et que toute cette beauté,
Avec la plus charmante grâce
Vient voltiger
Au-dessus des prés et au-dessus des champs,
Jaillit dans les jardins et se cache dans les forêts,
Et déverse son parfum au-dessus des champs et des flots.
Qu'est-ce que cela me fait ?
Mon cœur n'est ni fleur ni feuille,
Et le printemps ne le rend pas joyeux :
Il aura son propre, intime printemps,
Quand ?
