Paa fyste Strengen III (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)


Aa me hev sulla ihop so lengje,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa kvardin Streng'e,
eg kjenner Ljoen paa Strengjen din,
i Hugen leikar du ut og inn.

Eg veit meg aldri, koss det er vore,
men kvar di Aatferd, ja kvart ditt Orde,
ja kvar den Ljoen, du leet for meg,
i Hjarta mitt hev han skreve seg.

Aa maatt' eg sei berre det eg vilde,
at det er ingen og held so gild'e, 
at ikkje nokon so likar eg --
eg aldri trur, at eg glöymer deg.
