Jeg elsket (Bjørnson, set by E. Grieg) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Jeg elsket, elsket uten Ord,
et Barn tør ej sin Lykke dele;
men nu, naar jeg har tabt det hele,
jeg deler Tabet med hans Mor.

Til Æren at faa være hans,
nu kanskje ingen anden stunder
og ingen heller mig misunder
af dig at faa min Brudekrans.

Fortæl mig om ham alt du ved,
nu blir jeg hos dig, tag dig af mig,
saa gir jeg lidt af hvad han gav dig,
han er jo i min Kjærlighed.
