I Solen går jeg bag min plov.
Jeg nikker til den grønne Skov,
Hvor du, min Lykke, gemmer dig.
Mit Hjerte ler og gemmer sig
Og gemmer sin Lyksalighed
Til Sol går ned, til Sol går ned.

Min Lykke vågner ung og ny
Som Lærkesang ved Morgengry.
Hver Aftenstunden den smykker sig.
Men kun for mig du smykker dig.
Og Nætternes Lyksalighed
Er Dagens gyldne Hem'lighed.

 ... 

Jeg pløjer op det gode Muld.
Men ingen ser det gyldne Guld,
Som i mit Hjerte gemmer sig.
Jeg gemmer mig, jeg gemmer dig,
Jeg gemmer vor Lyksalighed
Til Sol går ned, til Sol går ned.

Chanson derrière la charrue

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Nielsen)

See original

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

J'avance au soleil derrière ma charrue.
Je fais un signe vers la verte forêt,
Où toi, mon bonheur, tu te caches.
Mon cœur se cache et exulte
Et cache sa béatitude
Jusqu'au coucher du soleil, Jusqu'au coucher du soleil.

Mon bonheur se réveille frais et dispos
Comme l'alouette chantant à l'aube.
Tous les soirs elle se fait belle.
Mais tu te pares seulement pour moi.
Et la béatitude des nuits
Est le secret doré du jour.

 ... 

Je laboure la bonne terre.
Mais personne ne voit l'or
Qui se cache en mon cœur.
Je me cache, je te cache,
Je cache notre béatitude,
Jusqu'au coucher du soleil, Jusqu'au coucher du soleil.
