Det gule Haare utover Nakken, lett og sameleg felle Stakken. Bringesylve so fint og nett, og Danselage ho heve lett. Ja naar du dansar dei Kinna blömer, og Sut og Saknad fraa Hjarta römer. Auga lyser og Munnen lær, so frisk ein Laatt'e imot meg slær. Men naar dit Auga so stille blenkjer, skal undras paa, kva det er du tenkjer. Og naar du glaaper so ende ut aa gjev at aldri du maa faa Sut.

Auf der ersten Saite I
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Die güldnen Haare den Hals umwallen, leicht am Kleide die Falten fallen. Silberspangen sie zieren fein, die Füsse laden zum Tanze ein! Ja wenn du tanzest, die Wangen blühen, die Sorgen all aus dem Herzen fliehen, da strahlt das Auge, der Mund mir sacht ein frisches Lachen entgegenlacht. Doch wenn dein Auge sich stille senket, möcht wissen ich, was dein Köpfchen denket. Und wenn du starrest so vor dich hin so bleib von Sorge verschont dein Sinn!
