Engl. Trans  Grieg  Blegnet, segnet
from op.39

Turn pale! Turn pale,
You, in the middle of life's glowing fire.
Sunk away, sunk away!
You, who did not suspect death.
Death paid no attention to the path
of life's blooms,
He broke the most beautiful flower.
Songs of grief ring out,
cannot bring peace.
Sighs and cries of desire,
Can they bring hope?

The coffin, the coffin
will be lowered into the earth,
the tear, the tear
reflects the dark place.
He, who lost
the peace of happy love,
father and mother are standing by,
when the invisible one comes,
the great judge of life.
Teaches them the call,
which can bring hope.
