Kanske vil der gå både Vinter og Vår, og næste Sommer med, og det hele År, men engang vil du komme, det ved jeg vist, og jeg skal nok vente, for det lovte jeg sidst. Gud styrke dig, hvor du i Verden går, Gud glæde dig, hvis du for hans Fodskammel står. Her skal jeg vente til du kommer igjen; og venter du hist oppe, vi træffes der, min Ven!

Passerà forse l`inverno e la primavera, passeranno l`uno e l`altra, e la prossima estate e l`anno venturo e quello successivo finché tu verrai, ché una volta verrai, me lo dice il cuore, e come t`ho promesso io qui ti aspetto, come t`ho promesso. Ti dia forza Iddio dovunque vai, dovunque vai, ti dia gioia Iddio dovunque stai, dovunque stai. Io quassù ti aspetto fino a che ritorni fino a che ritorni, e ti vengo incontro amico mio amico mio.
