- Darling, I am growing old,
- Silver threads among the gold,
- Shine upon my brow today,
- Life is fading fast away.
- But, my darling, you will be, will be
- Always fair to me,
- Yes, my darling, you will be
- Always young and fair to me.
- (Omkvæd)
- Darling, I am growing old,
- Silver threads among the gold,
- Shine upon my brow today;
- Life is fading fast away.

- When your hair is silver white,
- And your cheeks no longer bright,
- With the roses of the May,
- I will kiss your lips and say,
- Oh! My darling, mine alone, alone,
- You have never older grown!
- Yes, my darling, mine alone,
- You have never older grown!
- (Omkvæd)
- Darling, I am growing old,
- Silver threads among the gold,
- Shine upon my brow today;
- Life is fading fast away.

- Love can never more grow old,
- Locks may lose their brown and gold;
- Cheeks may fade and hollow grow,
- But the hearts that love will know,
- Never, never winter’s frost and chill;
- Summer warmth is in them still;
- Never winter’s frost and chill,
- Summer warmth is in them still
- (Omkvæd)
- Darling, I am growing old,
- Silver threads among the gold,
- Shine upon my brow today;
- Life is fading fast away.

- Love is always young and fair.
- What to us is silver hair,
- Faded cheeks or steps grown slow,
- To the heart that beats below?
- Since I kissed you, mine alone, alone,
- You have never older grown;
- Since I kissed you, mine alone,
- You have never older grown.
- (Omkvæd)
- Darling, I am growing old,
- Silver threads among the gold,
- Shine upon my brow today;
- Life is fading fast away.
