by Andreas Grimelund Jynge (1870 - 1955)

Homlefar
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Our translations:  FRE
Og homlefar, han surrer, 
og surrer sig i ring, 
surrer og surrer i ring, 
han danser, og han hopper 
som ingen Verdens ting
Og surrer sig i ring, 

Og spiler sine vinger 
i de sirligste sving, 
for alle de smaa blomster 
de svaermer han om kring, 
han surrer og surrer, 
han surrer og surrer, 

Og alle de smaa blomster, 
de skal ham høre til, 
ja, alle de smaa blomster, 
saa mange som han vil, 
for alle de smaa blomster 
de har saa lyst et smil;

men alle de smaa blomster, 
de narrer ham April, 
men alle de smaa blomster, 
de narrer ham April!
