Ejnar:
 Agnes, min dejlige sommerfugl,
 dig vil jeg legende fange!
 Jeg fletter et garn med masker små,
 og maskerne ere mine sange!

Agnes
 Er jeg en sommerfugl, liden og skær,
 så lad mig af lyngtoppen drikke;
 og er du en gut, som lyster en leg,
 så jag mig, men fang mig ikke!

Ejnar
 Agnes, min dejlige sommerfugl,
 nu har jeg maskerne flettet;
 dig hjælper visst aldrig din flagrende flugt, --
 snart sidder du fangen i nettet!

Agnes
 Er jeg en sommerfugl, ung og blank,
 jeg lystig i legen mig svinger;
 men fanger du mig under nettets spind,
 så rør ikke ved mine vinger!

Agnès

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Sjögren)

See original

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

Ejnar
 Agnès, mon délicieux papillon,
 je me ferai un jeu de t'attraper !
 Je fais un filet aux petites mailles,
 et les mailles sont mes chansons !

Agnes
 Si je suis un pur et petit papillon,
 alors laisse moi boire à l'épi de la bruyère ;
 et si tu es un garçon qui aime à jouer,
 alors cours après moi, mais ne m'attrape pas !

Ejnar
 Agnès, mon délicieux papillon,
 j'ai maintenant fait les mailles ;
 ta fuite papillonnante ne t'aidera certainement pas,
 bientôt tu seras prise au fond du filet !

Agnes
 Si je suis un jeune et brillant papillon
 c'est avec joie que je me prêterai à ce jeu ;
 mais si tu me prends dans les cordons du filet,
 alors ne touche pas à mes ailes !
