Blaaveis! Blaaveis! se! Hvor de skinner! mellem det guldbrune løv de finner veinen og løfter paa hoderne smaa. ah! hvor de lyser! ah! hvor de skinner! hele skogen er staalende blaa, og saa mange, og saa mange, og saa mange, mange vi finner. Kom! vær med! Og er du bange for bækken du gjære, jeg skal dig bære først over baækken og saa over gjære, sætte dig ned her paa vort gamle, deilige sted. Sollen glittrer i skoggens toppe, Himlen blaaner saa heit deroppe. Blaaveis! Blaaveis! Solen glittrer og Himlen blaaner, Nu es det vaar!

Blue flowers
Language: English after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Blue flowers! Blue flowers! are they not gay, as between golden brown leaves they force their way, and lift up their heads anew. Oh! see them shining! oh! see them smiling! all the forest is blue as the sky, And so many, oh! so many, and so many many we're finding. Come! with me! And if you dreadeth the streamlet, you darling, I'll bear you the while, First over the streamlet and then over stile, Set you down sweet, Here on our old, old favourite seat. Sun ray kisses the tops of the trees. Air is scented with balmy breeze. Blue flowers! Blue flowers! Sun is shining and birds are singing "Now it is Spring!"
From the Backer-Grøndahl score.
