Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr I 5 Capitler

Sagte vender hun Hovedet halfft
Lyddende fjærnt til Ord som bli'r talt
Et Stæd under Bakken, om Hiertets Vee


[Pigen:]
«Sola gaar bak Aase ned
Skuggan' bli saa lange
Natte kjem snart atteved
Teke meg i Fange»


De Taaren dend fulgte hendes Savn
Een Længsel hiem til siine
Hun vilde saa gierne hafve dem i siin Favn
Sorrigen sadte Rood i navnløs Piine


Hun graader
Hun falmer
Hun seer ey paa Nattesti


Hun falder i Sofn paa Moseseng
Oc aldting tier
Saa dæcker et Mulm
Hendes Drømmers Stier




[English translation:]


The Sun Goes Down Behind The Hill


Slowly she turns her head half
Listening at distance at words spoken
Somewhere under the slope, about the heart's woe


[The Maiden:]
"The Sun goes down behind the hill
The shadows grow so long
Soon the night will come back
To take me prisoner"


A Tear then followed her nostalgia
The longing to come back home to her relatives
How she wished to take them in her embrace
And out of sorrow rose her nameless pain


She weeps
She gropes
She cannot see on the nocturnal path


Asleep she falls on a bed of moss
And everything silences
Then a veil covers
The paths of her dreams
