by Ivar Julius Mortensson-Egnund (1857 - 1934)
Translation Singable translation by Eugen von Enzberg (1858 - 1908)

Paa fyste Strengen III
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Aa me hev sulla ihop so lengje,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa kvardin Streng'e,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa Strengjen din,
i Hugen leikar du ut og inn.

Eg veit meg aldri, koss det er vore,
men kvar di Aatferd, ja kvart ditt Orde,
ja kvar den Ljoen, du leet for meg,
i Hjarta mitt hev han skreve seg.

Aa maatt' eg sei berre det eg vilde,
at det er ingen og held so gild'e, 
at ikkje nokon so likar eg --
eg aldri trur, at eg glöymer deg.

Auf der ersten Saite III
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Du gabst beim Wandern mir treu Geleite,
ich kenn den Laut nun auf jeder Saite;
ich kenn den Laut auf der Saite dein,
du liegst im Sinn mir Tagaus, Tagein!

Ich weiss ja nicht, wie es ist gekommen,
jed' Wort und jed' Lied von dir vernommen,
ja jeder Laut, den ich hört von dir,
in's Herze hat sich geschrieben mir.

O könnt' gestehn ich ihr mein Empfinden,
dass hier ist keine ihr gleich zu finden!
Nein, keine andre ich lieb' wie dich 
und nie dich könnte vergessen ich.
