Paa Understrængen
Language: Danish (Dansk) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Du Mor, som ene hjemme gaar og længter efter mig og sörger saart for liden Gut, som færdes langt fra dig. Du græd for mig saa mangen Gang, da jeg fra Hjemmet for. Jeg saa ej at din Dag blev lang, jeg mindtes ej dit Ord. Jeg vilde ud i Verden jeg og drog fra Stad til Stad. Min Tanke svæved langt fra dig, du stille for mig bad. Jeg vilde ud i Verden jeg og elske deilig Mö mit Hjærte svæved langt fra dig du kunde for mig dö.
From the Sinding score.
