Our translations: FRE
I de [forunderlig]1 blonde nætter jeg gaar alene, men med dig jeg taler. Rundt om mig vaaren blomstersnehvid blunder, et springvand plasker lydt. En hane galer. Jeg gaar alene, men med dig jeg taler, som jeg har talt med dig saa mange gange. Har du det ondt, min ven? Var du bedrøvet i disse svundne aar, de lange lange! Jeg stanser brat. Jeg fryser nedad ryggen og stirrer ræd omkring de stille sletter. Aa Gud! Det er, som jeg hører dig græde i de [forunderlig]1 blonde nætter.
