Our translations: FRE
Nu tier vel dagens stemmer, og jorden sin smerte vel glemmer. Hvor verden er øde og stor og forladt - Sylvesternat! Det pusler om grantræets rødder, det tripper med tuden små fødder. Det ånder så tungt gjennem skog og krat Sylvesternat. Det skraber så skarpt på min rude, der tuder en hund langt ude. Og stjerneskud tændes og slukkes brat Sylvesternat.

Sylvester‑Nacht Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Nun dröhnt mir mit dumpfen Schlägen Mitternacht schaurig entgegen. Wie hohl das wimmert, Wie grausig das kracht: Sylvesternacht! Ich lausche dem Klang unerschrocken, Läutet der Tod mir die Glocken? Schon seh' ich den klaffenden, Gähnenden Schacht: Sylvesternacht! Bei diesen verhallenden Schlägen Will ich zur Ruhe mich legen. Weit schliesst sich mir auf Der Ewigkeit Pracht: Sylvesternacht!
