Skal altid fæste mit Hår under Hue, Tør aldrig binde en Sløjfe deri; Ilde lugter den Kræmmerstue - Hvem der som Fuglen var fri! Min Moder var dog en stadselig Frue; Kom, lille Spejl, lad mig se. De kaldte ved Dåben mig "Due", Hun flyver helst i det fri. De Klokker ringe til Ottesang, Nu bliver Dyvekes Dag så lang; Og vil jeg af Byen med Moder gå, Dèr spærre de Bjerge så isengrå. Men ude i Haven står Urter og Blommer, Dèr drømmer mit Hjerte blandt Zwibler og Løg; Krydret dufter den liflige Sommer, Og Hjertet slår som en Gøg. Det slår mod min Hånd, under Huden det trommer, Det varsler så langt, så langt mig et Liv. Vær hilset, du Fugl, mellem Urter og Blommer, vær hilset, vær hilset du kukkende Gøg!

Je dois toujours attacher mes cheveux sous mon bonnet, Je n'oserais jamais les attacher avec un nœud ; La boutique de l'épicier sent mauvais -- Ah, je voudrais être libre comme un oiseau ! Ma mère était pourtant une femme élégante ; Va, petit miroir, fais-moi voir. À mon baptême on m'appela "Colombe", Celle qui préfère voler en liberté. Les cloches sonnent les matines Aujourd'hui la journée de Dyveke sera bien longue : Avec ma mère j'irai à la ville Cernée par la montagne gris de fer. Mais dehors dans le jardin il y a herbes et fleurs, Mon cœur y rêve parmi les bulbes et les oignons ; L'herbe y a l'odeur suave de l'été, Et mon cœur y bat comme un coucou. Il bat sous ma main, il tambourine sous ma peau, Cela me présage une longue, longue vie. Bonjour, oiseau parmi les herbes et les fleurs, Bonjour, bonjour, coucou coucoulant !
