Veslemøy lengtar

(Sung text for setting by E. Grieg)

Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)

Our translations: FRE

No stend ho steller i Kjøken-Kraa,
ho Mor!
ho er so gamal, ho er so graa,
ho Mor.
Aa var eg Katten i mjuke Skind,
som kjæla fær seg som Baanet inn
til ho Mor!

 ... 

*
Eg veit so væl, kva ho tenkjer paa,
ho Mor,
naar der ved Gruva ho mødd maa staa,
ho Mor.
So tidt ho gløymer sitt Træl og Mas
og stirer ut gjenom Kjøkenglas, -
gjer ho Mor.

Ho gløymer Stræv og ho gløymer Stell,
ho Mor,
og stirer upp mot dei ville Fjell,
ho Mor.
»Kor gjeng det Veslemøy, arme Ting,
som renna maa alle Berg i Kring?«- spyrr ho Mor.

 ... 

Aa tru den Tidi fekk rundt seg snutt,
du Mor!
Eg reknar Time og kvart Minutt,
du Mor! Aa kunde eg stiga med Sjumils-Steg
og sitja ei ørlita Stund hjaa deg,
du mi Mor!-

Le spleen de Veslemøy

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Grieg)

See original

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

Elle est occupée dans un coin de la cuisine,
maman !
Elle est si vieille et si grisonnante,
maman.
Oh si j'étais un chat à la douce fourrure,
comme je pourrais me câliner comme un enfant
contre maman !
