Paa Understrengjom (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)


Du Mor, som einsam heime gjeng, 
du lengtar etter meg 
og syter jamt for vesle Gut, 
som sveiv so langt fraa deg.
Du greet for meg so mang ei Taar,
daa som eg heiman foor.
Eg saag 'kje Moers Hug var saar, 
eg vyrd' 'kje Moers Ord.

Eg vilde ut i Verda eg. 
Og vitt og breitt eg rann.
So langt sveiv Hugen min fraa deg 
ditt Hjarte for meg brann.
Eg vilde ut i Verda eg, 
med Elsk til fagre Möy.
Og Hugen sveiv so langt fraa deg
du kunne for meg döy.
