Med en vandlilje
Grieg, Edvard
Se, Marie, hvad jeg bringer;
Look, Marie, at what I bring;
blomsten med de hvide vinger.
At the flower with its white wings.
På de stille strømme båren
Floating in the gentle current
svam den drømmetung i våren.
Dreamily it swam in springtime.
Vil du den til hjemmet vie, fæst den på dit bryst Marie;
Will you take it home
bag dens blade da sig dølge
And pin it to your breast, Marie?
vil en dyb og stille bølge.
Behind its petals then would hide
Vogt dig, barn for tjernets strømme,
Child, be wary of the current in the pond,
Farligt, farligt der at drømme!
It's dangerous to dream there!
Nökken lader som han sover;
The watersprite only pretends he is sleeping;
liljer leger ovenover.
Lilies play above.
Barn, din barm er tjernets strømme.
Child, your breast is the current of the pond,
Farligt, farligt der at drømme,
It's dangerous to dream there!
liljer leger ovenover;
Lilies play above;
nøkken lader som han sover.
The watersprite only pretends he is sleeping.
