Jalousi - Anne Linnet

Spørger du hvorfor jeg sidder

med en skygge over panden

helt alene denne aften

ak han danser med en anden

ser du ikke hvor han smiler blidt

forløst og ungt til hende

sådan har jeg aldrig set ham smile

til en anden kvinde

sådan er hans nøgne ansigt

når han ligger ved min side

og jeg troede det var noget

jeg alene måtte vide

sådan brændte i hans øjne

denne sjældne blide varme

når han sagte hviskede til mig

hvilende i mine arme

om hans smukke mund

har mine læber tegnet hemmelige spor

jeg aldrig så ham blotte før

for nogen anden pige

derfor sidder jeg alene

med en smerte over panden

for min elskede har glemt mig

og han danser med en anden

Do you ask why I'm sitting

with a shadow over the forehead

all alone this evening

alas he dances with another

you do not see where he smiles gently

redeemed and young to her

such I have never seen him smile

to another woman

such is his naked face

when he lies by my side

and I thought it was something

I alone had to know

such burned in his eyes

this rare gentle heat

when he softly whispered to me

resting in my arms

about his beautiful mouth

have my lips drawn secret clues

I never saw him just before

for any other girl

therefore I sit alone

with a pain over the forehead

for my beloved hath forgotten me

and he dances with another
