Paa trie 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)


Signe heiter Gjenta mi, den greiaste som eg fann.
Heil so vere du ljose Viv, min Hugen so fast til deg rann.
Signe, Signe, Vive mitt, ho er so lett paa Fote.
Det gjere so vondt i Hjarta mitt, er du ikkje gla til Mote.

Signe, Signe, Vive mitt: no maa du ikkje graate,
snart eg kjem'e blir Vaaren go, daa skal du leike og laate.
Daa skal du laate paa Langelur og ljoe alt det du kann,
og daa skal du vera mitt eige Viv, for Hugen so fast til deg rann.
