Synnøves sang
See originalLanguage: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Nu tak for alt, ifra vi var små
og legte sammen i skog og lage'.
Jeg tænkte, legen den skulde gå
op i de grånende dage.
...
Jeg sad og vented så mangen kvæld
og så did bort under granehejen;
men skygge gjorde det mørke fjæld,
og du, du fant ikke vejen.
...
-- Men godt, så ved jeg dog, hvem det var,
som lagde gårdene mod hverandre
og vej for synet i skogen skar
og gav det lov til at vandre.

Alors merci pour tout, depuis que nous étions petits
et que nous jouions ensemble dans les bois et les fêtes.
Je pensais que jouer pourrait durer
Jusqu'aux jours de la vieillesse.
...
Le soir souvent je m'asseyais et attendais
et là regardais au-loin la lisière des sapins ;
mais la sombre montagne étendait son ombre,
et toi, tu ne trouvais pas le chemin.
...
Mais bon, je savais pourtant bien qui
avait placé nos fermes l'une à côté de l'autre
et taillé pour les yeux un passage dans le bois
et leur a donné la permission de vagabonder.
