Kanske vil der gå både vinter og vår
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE ITA
Kanske vil der gå både vinter og vår,
og næste sommer med, og det hele år; --
men engang vil du komme, det ved jeg vist;
og jeg skal nok vente, for det lovte jeg sidst.
Gud styrke dig hvor du i verden går!
Gud glæde dig, hvis du for hans fodskammel står!
Her skal jeg vente til du kommer igen;
og venter du hist oppe, vi træffes der, min ven!

Il canto di Solveig
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Passerà forse l`inverno e la primavera, passeranno l`uno e l`altra,
e la prossima estate e l`anno venturo e quello successivo finché tu verrai,
ché una volta verrai, me lo dice il cuore,
e come t`ho promesso io qui ti aspetto, come t`ho promesso.
Ti dia forza Iddio dovunque vai, dovunque vai,
ti dia gioia Iddio dovunque stai, dovunque stai.
Io quassù ti aspetto fino a che ritorni fino a che ritorni,
e ti vengo incontro amico mio amico mio.
