[Prinsessen sad højt]1 i sit Jomfrubur, Smågutten gik nede og blæste på Lur. "Hvi blæser du altid, ti stille, du Små, det hæfter min Tanke, som vide vil gå nu, når Sol går ned." [Prinsessen sad højt]1 i sit Jomfrubur, Smågutten lod være at blæse på Lur. "Hvi tier du stille, blæs mere, du Små, det løfter min Tanke, som vide vil gå, nu, når Sol går ned." [Prinsessen sad højt]1 i sit Jomfrubur, Smågutten tog atter og blæste på Lur. Da græd hun i Aftnen og sukkede ud: "O sig mig, hvad er det mig fejler, min Gud!" Nu gik Solen ned.

De sa chambre de jeune fille la princesse regardait en l'air, Un jeune garçon passait en dessous et jouait du clairon. « Pourquoi joues-tu sans cesse, reste tranquille, petit, cela empêche mes pensées de vagabonder maintenant que le soleil se couche. » De sa chambre de jeune fille la princesse regardait en l'air, Le jeune garçon avait cessé de jouer du clairon. « Pourquoi gardes-tu le silence, joue encore, petit, cela fait s'envoler mes pensées qui veulent vagabonder maintenant que le soleil se couche. » De sa chambre de jeune fille la princesse regardait en l'air, Le jeune garçon prit à nouveau son clairon et en joua. Alors dans le soir elle pleura et poussa de profonds soupirs : « Ô dis-moi, mon Dieu, ce qui me manque ! » Alors le soleil se coucha.
