Margretes Vuggesang

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Nu løftes Laft og Lofte
Til Stjernehvælven blaa,
Nu flyver lille Haakon
Med Drømmevinger paa.

Der er en Stige stillet
Fra Jord til Himmel op,
Nu stiger lille Haakon
Med Englene tiltop.

Guds Engle smaa, de vaager
For Vuggebarnets Fred,
Gud sign' Dig, lille Haakon,
Din Moder vaager med!

Margarethen Wiegenlied

Language: German

Des Hauses Decke wölbt sich
zum Sternendom so klar,
nun breitet aus klein Haakon
sein Traumesschwingenpaar.
 
Da baut sich eine Stiege
bis in den Himmel hinein.
Dort klimmt hinauf klein Haakon
mit Gottes Engelein.
 
Die Engel all' bewachen
mein süßes Kind zur Nacht,
behüt dich Gott, klein Haakon,
auch deine Mutter wacht.
From the Grieg score.
