Jeg kaldte dig mit lykkebud;
Jeg kaldte dig min stjerne.
Du blev da også, sandt for Gud,
Et lykkebud, der gik gik ud;
En stjerne, ja, et stjerneskud,
Der slukned i det fjerne.

Rimes d'un album

Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

Je t'appelais mon messager de joie ;
Je t'appelais mon étoile.
Tu devins aussi, mon Dieu,
Un messager de joie, qui partit et disparut;
Une étoile, oui, une étoile filante,
Qui s'éteignit au-loin.
