Tag vingar, du fina

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FRE

  Tag vingar, du fina, 
du skimrande barn af min själ,
blif ej och förtvina 
som lyckans benådade träl!

  Tag vingar och svinga 
med sommar och solljus och doft, 
förklinga, förklinga,
en ton är ej bunden i stoft!

  Tag vingar och svinga, 
förr'n trampad i gruset du dör,
så högt, så att inga 
utaf mina suckar du hör!

Prends ton vol, toi délicate

Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Prends ton vol, toi délicate,
toi scintillante enfant de mon âme,
et ne t'étiole pas
telle une esclave libérée du bonheur !

Prends ton vol et élance-toi
avec été et soleil et parfum,
disparais, disparais,
une note n'est pas liée à la terre !

Prends ton vol et élance-toi,
avant de mourir dans les décombres,
aussi haut que aucun
de mes soupir tu n'entendes !
