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


De sidste gæster
vi fulgte til grinden;
farvellets rester
tog nattevinden.

I tifold öde
lå haven og huset,
Hvor toner söde
Mig nys berused.

Det var en fest kun
för natten den sorte;
Hun var en gæst kun, --
og nu er hun borte.
