Paa andre Strengen II

Naar Sola ski'ne og Skya blenkjer,
daa alt, som liver paa Elskhug tenkjer.
Naar Skya blenkjer og Sola skin,
daa dröymer Gjenta um Guten sin.

Um Sola ski'ne og Skya blenkjer,
eg aldri tor' paa mi Gjente tenkje.
Naar Sola ski'ne so blankt og bjart,
daa tek'e Suta i Hjarta hardt.

by Ivar Julius Mortensson-Egnund (1857-1934)

Paa den anden stræng II

Naar Solen varmt sig mod Jorden sænker,
da alt som lever paa Elskov tænker.
Naar Skyen lyser i Solens Skin, 
da drömmer Pigen om Guten sin.

Om Solen skinner og Skyen blinker,
jeg aldrig mer paa min Pige vinker.
Men naar det lyser saa blankt og klart,
da griber Sorgen mit Hjærte svart.
