by Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906)

En Fuglevise
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Our translations:  FRE ITA
Vi gik en dejlig vårdag
alléen op og ned; 
lokkende som en gåde
var det forbudne sted. 

Og vestenvinden vifted;
og himlen var så blå; 
i linden sad en fuglemor
og sang for sine små. 

Jeg malte digterbilleder
med legende farvespil; 
to brune öjne lyste
og lo og lytted til.

Over os kan vi höre
hvor det tisker og ler; 
men vi, vi tog et smukt farvel,
of mödtes aldrig mer. 

Og når jeg ensom driver
alléen op og ned, 
Så har for de fjærede småfolk
jeg aldrig ro og fred.

Fru spurv har siddet og lyttet,
mens vi troskyldigt gik, 
Og gjort om os en vise
og sat den i musik. 

Den er i fuglemunde;
thi under lövets tag 
Hver næbbet sanger nynner om
hin lyse forårsdag.
