D'er 'kje Draumar som leikar

Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)

Our translations: FRE

D'er 'kje Draumar som leikar 
og Drösur som flyg.
D'er 'kje Röur som reikar 
og Svæur som lyg.

Men Kjærleiken magnas 
mot Dagen klaar,
og Guten han fagnas 
i blenkjande Vaar.

Eg stend og jalar paa högste Tindar,
eg letdet fjuke for alle Vindar,
eg set den Lysing i alle Bla,
at Signe Johndotter vil meg ha.
