Spillemænd (Ibsen, set by E. Grieg) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Til hende stod mine tanker
hver en sommerlys nat,
Men rejen den bar til elven
i det duggede ørekrat.

Hej, kjender du gru og sange,
kan du kogle den delliges sind,
Så i store kirker og sale
hun mener at föge dig ind!

Jeg maned den våde af dybet;
han spilled mig bent fra gud, --
Men da jeg var bleven hans mester,
var hun min broders brud.

I store kirker og sale
mig selv jeg spilled ind,
Og fossens gru og sange
veg aldrig fra mit sind.
