”Jeg elsker dig”
[I love You] Op. 5, No. 3
arranged for clarinet in Bb, violin, cello and piano
by Martin Lohse
"I Love You" is from a collection of four songs for song and piano composed by Grieg in 1864.
The songs are with lyrics by H.C. Andersen and is a selection from the collection Melodies of the Heart which H.C. Andersen wrote after falling in love with a merchant's daughter, Riborg Voigt, from Fåborg. However, she was already engaged to another side and got married shortly after.
- I love you
- You have become the single thought of my thoughts,
- you are the first love of my heart.
- I love you as no one else here on Earth,
- I love you for time and eternity!
- H.C. Andersen 1832
- Nils Lid Hjort (translation)
- H.C. Andersen 1832
Grieg also had a girl in mind when he wrote the four songs. They were completed in December 1864, and he was able to give the songs as a musical gift to his cousin, Nina Hagerup, for their engagement at Christmas 1864.

”Jeg elsker dig” er fra en samling på fire sange for sang og klaver komponeret af Grieg i 1864.
Sangene er med tekst af H.C. Andersen og er et udvalg fra samlingen Hjertets Melodier, som H.C. Andersen skrev efter at have været forelsket i en købmandsdatter, Riborg Voigt, fra Fåborg. Hun var dog allerede forlovet til anden side og blev gift kort tid efter.
- Jeg elsker dig
- Min Tankes Tanke ene Du er vorden,
- Du er mit Hjertes første Kjærlighed,
- Jeg elsker Dig som ingen her paa Jorden,
- Jeg elsker Dig i Tid og Evighed!
- H.C. Andersen 1832
- H.C. Andersen 1832
Grieg havde selv en pige i tankerne da han skrev de fire sange. De blev færdige i december 1864, og han kunne forære sangene som musikalsk gave til sin kusine, Nina Hagerup, til deres forlovelse i julen 1864.
