Our translations: FRE

Min lille Fugl, hvor flyver Du,
Imellem grønne Grene?
Ak, mon jeg rinder dig i Hu?
Mit Hjerte briste vil itu! --
-- O Gud, hvor jeg dog er ene!

Du sagde, at Du var mig god;
Ja, godt mig Alle mene,
Men hvis Du ret min Sorg forstod,
Du kom, Du sang mig Sjæle-Mod;
Da sad jeg ikke alene.

Min lille Fugl, Du kommer ej
Fra dine grønne Grene;
Jeg stille vandre maa min Vej; --
Ak, ingen elsker Dig som jeg!
-- O Gud, hvor jeg er dog ene!

Mon petit oiseau

(Sung text translation for setting by N. Gade)

See original

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

Mon petit oiseau, où voles‑tu
Parmi ces vertes branches ?
Hélas, est‑ce que je me souviens de toi ?
Mon cœur va se briser !
Ô  Dieu, combien je suis seul !

Tu disais que tu étais bon pour moi ;
Oui, c'est bien ce que tu prétendais,
Mais tu compris bien mon chagrin,
Tu vins, ton chant me donna du cœur à l'âme ;
Alors, je n'étais plus assis seul !

Mon petit oiseau, tu ne viens pas
De tes vertes branches ;
Silencieux, je vais sur mon chemin ;
Hélas, personne ne t'aime comme moi !
Ô  Dieu, combien je suis seul !
