Han tvær over bænkene hang
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Available translation(s): FRE
Han tvær over bænkene hang; hun lystig i dansen sig svang. Hun legte, hun lo med en og med to; -- hans hjærte var nærved at briste, men det var der ingen, som vidste. Hun gik bag ved laden den kvæld, han kom for at sige farvel. Hun kasted sig ned, hun græd og hun græd, sit livs-håb, det skulde hun miste. Men det var der ingen, som vidste. Ham tiden faldt frygtelig lang. Så kom han tilbage en gang. -- Hun havde det godt; hun fred havde fåt; hun tænkte på ham i det sidste. Men det var der ingen, som vidste.

Kätketty lempi
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Hän penkillä murjottain tytön tanssia katseli vain. Hymyn tälle hän suo, tuon rientävi luo; - pojan syänveri kuiviin ol' juosta, mut kenkään ei tietänyt tuosta. Kävi neitonen varjohon haan, eronviestiä kuunnellessaan alas viskautui, ja kyyneliss' ui: elintoiveensa tyhjiin ol' juosta. Mut kenkään ei tietänyt tuosta. Vaan unhetta aika ei suo, palas vihdoin hän armaansa luo. - Tytön miel' levoton jo rauhassa on; hänt' aatellen läks elämästä. Mut kenkään ei tietänyt tästä.
