Translation by Pierre Barbier (1854 - 1918)

Toi et moi
Language: French (Français)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Quelle est la déesse
Aux plus doux yeux ? 
	Toi !
Qui voudrait sans cesse
Etre à tes pieds? 
	Moi !
Quel est dans l’azur l’impide
Le rayon splendide,
L’astre pur en qui j’ai foi?
	Toi !
Quand vient la saison nouvelle
Quelle est le plus belle fleur? 
	Ton cœur !
Quelle est la voix la plus belle?
C’est dans les concerts des bois
	Ta voix !

Qui répand sa flamme
En tous mes sens?
	Toi !
Qui donna son âme
A ta beauté?
	Moi !
Pour toi seule je veux vivre,
Ton regard m’enivre,
J’ai pour but, je prends pour loi
	Toi !
Je ne vois que deux étoiles
Dans l’immensité des cieux,
	Tes yeux !
Et le ciel tu le dévoiles
En comblant de tes amours
	Mes jours.
