Har du med dit Øje skuet

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Our translations: FRE

Har du med dit Øje skuet
Solens Spil paa Vang og Vove,
Mens med Angst dit Øre hørte
Hundeglam og Klang af Hove
Fra den vilde Jagt,
Nattens vilde Jagt.

Har du flygtet gjennem Lunden
Som en Hind og bange bævet,
Medens fremad vildt du sprængte
Med dit Spyd til Kastet hævet
I den vilde Jagt,
Nattens vilde Jagt.

Har du ræd som Skovens Due
Flagret over Kjær og Hede,
Medens du som sære Toner
Skræmmed Fugl fra lune Rede
I den vilde Jagt,
Nattens vilde Jagt.

As‑tu vu de tes yeux

Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)

As-tu vu de tes yeux
Le jeu du soleil sur les champs et les flots
Tandis qu'avec crainte ton oreille entend
Les aboiements de chiens et le bruit des sabots
De la chasse cruelle,
La chasse cruelle de la nuit.

As-tu fui à travers bois
Comme une biche, et tremblé de peur,
Tandis que tu sautais cruellement en avant
Avec une lance levée vers toi
Dans la chasse cruelle,
La chasse cruelle de la nuit.

As-tu peur que la tourterelle des bois
S'envole au-dessus de la gâtine et de la lande
Tandis que d'étranges sons, tout comme toi,
Effarouchaient l'oiseau de son nid douillet,
Dans la chasse cruelle,
La chasse cruelle de la nuit.
