Our translations: FRE

Den Jomfru gik i Valmu- Vang 
saa rød, saa rød var Vangen! 
Hun lyttede til Fuglesang, 
saa sød, saa sød var Sangen! 

Og Præsten skreg: Ak Jomfru-lil, 
fly fluks de røde Vange! 
Du dør ifald du lytter til
de søde Fuglesange! 

Den Jomfru lo: Hvem tændte da 
de røde Valmu-Vange? 
Og hvor er de vel kommen fra,
de søde Fuglesange?

La fille alla sur la colline aux coquelicots

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

La fille alla sur la colline aux coquelicots,
la colline était si rouge, si rouge !
Elle écoutait le chant des oiseaux,
le chant était si doux, si doux !

Et le prêtre cria : « Ah petite fille,
fuis tout de suite les collines rouges !
Tu mourras si tu écoutes
Le doux chant des oiseaux !

La fille rit : « Qui a allumé là
la rouge colline aux coquelicots ?
Et d'où est bien venu
le doux chant des oiseaux ? »
