Jeg havde begravet
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Available translation(s): FRE
Jeg havde begravet min elskov
histude ved vestens hav.
Og tidlig og silde så sad jeg hos min skatt
og våged og vugged. Og så voksed der en nat
en lilje frem fra hendes grav.
Og der falder nat over vesten hav,
og det blir så stilt under himlens telt.
Da synger min sjæl, og da nynner mit blod,
da synker jeg bedøvet i andagt for din fod
og kysser dig, liljehvide jomfru!

J'avais enterré
Language: French (Français)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
J'avais enterré mon amour
là-bas à l'ouest près de la mer.
Et matin et soir je m'asseyais auprès de mon trésor
et je veillais et somnolais. Et puis une nuit
un lis sortit devant sa tombe.
Et la nuit tombe à l'ouest, près de la mer
et tout devient calme sous la voûte du ciel.
Alors mon âme chante, alors mon sang fredonne,
alors étourdi, je m'affaisse en prière à ton pied
et je t'embrasse, vierge blanche comme lis !
