Our translations:  FRE
Til Majdag fører jeg hjem min Brud,
En Rosensblomme i Liljeskrud,
Spil Spillemænd, spil!
Den Dag skal Skoven ha' Grønt i sin Hat
Og Engen ha' Blomster i Barm.
Og fuld saa Maanen skal være den Nat,
Men Solen skal danse sig varm.
Og Gøgen skal kukke og Lykken os spaa
Og Finker skal fløjte og Drosler skal slaa,
Men Sorgen skal holde sig hjemme.
Til Majdag fører jeg hjem min Brud,
En Rosensblomme i Liljeskrud,
Spil Spillemænd, spil!
