Alt farer hen som Vinden

Available translation(s): FRE GER
Alt farer hen som Vinden,
Her er ei blivende Sted.
Snart svinder Rosen paa Kinden,
[Smilet og - Taarerne med]1.
Hvorfor være bedrøvet,
Hen farer Sorg og Fortræd,
Alt farer hen, som Løvet,
Tiden og Mennesket med.
Alt er Forsvinden -Forsvinden,
Ungdom, dit Haab og din Ven!
Alt farer hen som Vinden,
Og kommer aldrig igjen.

Il ne revient jamais
Language: French (Français)  after the Danish (Dansk)
Tout s'en va comme le vent,
Ce n'est pas ici un lieu permanent.
Bientôt le rose de l'enfant disparaît,
Avec son sourire et ses larmes.
À quoi bon être affligé,
Chagrin et contrariété s'en vont,
Tout comme s'en vont les feuilles,
Avec le temps et les hommes.
Tout est disparition -- disparition,
Jeunesse, ton espoir et ton ami !
Tout s'en va comme le vent,
Et ne revient jamais.
