from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Thor Næve Lange (1851 - 1915)

Silde ved Nat hin kolde 
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Dutch (Nederlands) 
Silde ved Nat hin kolde 
blæser en Svend paa Lur;
ryste maa Borgens Volde,
ryste maa Borgens Mur.

"Blæs ikke til at ryste
Hjertet ud af mit Liv;
gak og lad Gud Dig trøste,
Nu er jeg Grevens Viv."

"Og er Du Grevens Kvinde,
Var du min Brud engang;
kort er jer Nat derinde,
ude er Natten lang.

"Hvil i hinandens Arme,
kryst hinanden og kvæl!
Jeg blæser ud min Harme 
og blæser ud min Sjæl!"
