by Andreas Munch (1811 - 1884)

Skjaldens sang
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Herlig er hallen hos rige herse,
mundgodt og mjød han mildt uddeler.
Dejligst af alt, dejligst af alt
dog er hans datter.

Kor
Dejligst af alt, dejligst af alt
dog er hans datter.

Snart vil ung Helga selv fremskride,
skøn, som solen på snefjeldstinder –
stærke mænds hjerter, stærke mænds
hjerter smelte som sneen.

Kor
Stærke mænds hjerter, stærke mænds
hjerter smelte som sneen.

Bejlerne bæve af elskovsbrynde.
Vælge hun vil den, hende er værdig:
fagrest af fagre, fagrest af fagre
den bedste favner.

Kor
Fagrest af fagre, fagrest af fagre
den bedste favner.
