Paa fyste Strengen I (Mortensson-Egnund, set by C. Sinding) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Det gule Haare utover Nakken,
lett og sameleg felle Stakken.
Bringesylve so fint og nett,
og Danselage ho heve lett.

Ja naar du dansar dei Kinna blömer,
og Sut og Saknad fraa Hjarta römer.
Auga lyser og Munnen lær,
so frisk ein Laatt'e imot meg slær.

Men naar dit Auga so stille blenkjer,
skal undras paa, kva det er du tenkjer.
Og naar du glaaper so ende ut 
aa gjev at aldri du maa faa Sut.
