Our translations: FRE
Lenore, Dagen er grim og graa, jeg kan ikke bære dens Tynge, jeg hører ikke dens Klokker slaa og ikke dens Fugle synge. Lenore, lille, min Frue fin, saa dejligt dit Øje straaler. Lenore, skænk mig din gyldne Vin af Nattens duftende Skaaler. De blankeste Stjerner paa os ser, Violerne blaaner i Vange. Lenore, kys mig, kys mig mer, og kys mig de tusinde Gange.

Lenore, der Tag ist grau und bang
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Lenore, der Tag ist grau und bang, Ich kann seine Bürde nicht tragen, Ich höre nicht seiner Glocken Klang Und nicht seiner Finken Schlagen. Lenore, Liebchen, du Fraue mein, So süss deine Augen strahlen. Lenore, schenk mir den güldnen Wein In würzig duftenden Schalen! Die blankesten Sterne ziehen einher, Die Veilchen sie blauen im Thale. Lenore, küss mich, küss mich mehr! Und küss mich zum tausenden Male!
From the Sinding score.
