En Stue i Kongsgaarden
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!

Margaret's Cradle Song
Language:
English
The roof that rears above him
To Heaven seems to rise;
Now wakes my little Hãkon
And lifts his dreamy eyes.
He builds himself a staircase
To climb to yonder star,
Then with the angels rises
To where the blessed are.
May angels watch my darling
From out the heaven's blue;
God shield thee, little Hākon,
Thy mother watcheth too.
From the Grieg score.
