Waldsonne

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE NOR

In die braunen, rauschenden Nächte
Flittert ein Licht herein,
Grüngolden ein Schein.

Blumen blinken auf und Gräser
Und die singenden, springenden Waldwässerlein,
Und Erinnerungen.

Die längst verklungenen:
Golden erwachen sie wieder,
All deine fröhlichen Lieder.

Und ich sehe deine goldenen Haare glänzen,
Und ich sehe deine goldenen Augen glänzen
Aus den grünen, raunenden Nächten.

Und mir ist, ich läge neben dir auf dem Rasen
Und hörte dich wieder auf der glitzeblanken Syrinx
In die blauen Himmelslüfte blasen.

In die braunen, wühlenden Nächte
Flittert ein Licht,
Ein goldener Schein.

Skogssol

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) after the German (Deutsch)

I de brune, brusende netter
skimrer et lys herinn,
et grønngyllent skinn.

Blomster skinner og gresset
og de syngende, springende skogsbekkene,
og minner.

De som for lengst har klunget ut:
Gyllent våkner de atter,
alle dine glade sanger.

Og jeg ser ditt gylne hår skinne,
og jeg ser dine gylne øyne glitre;
gjennom de grønne, hviskende netter.

Og det er som lå jeg ved siden av deg på plenen
og hørte deg atter spille på den glinsende blanke syrin
opp i den blå himmels luft.

I de brune, dyptborende netter
skinner et lys,
et gyllent skinn.
