Silkesko over gylden Læst
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Silkesko over gylden Læst!
Jeg har mig en Jomfru fæst'!
Jeg har mig en dejlig Jomfru fæst'!
Ingen er som hun paa Guds sollyse Jord,
Ikke en eneste en.
Som Himlen i Syd og som Sneen i Nord
Er hun ren.
Men der er Jorderigs Fryd i min Himmel,
Og Flammer der staar af min Sne.
Ingen Sommers Rose er rødere,
End hendes Øje er sort . . .

Seidenschuh auf goldnem Spann
 (Sung text for setting by E. Erdmann)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Seidenschuhe auf goldnem Spann!
Ein Mädchen ich mir gewann!
Ein holdes Mädchen ich mir gewann!
Keine ist wie sie auf der Welt gewesen,
keine ist wie sie so fein.
Wie Himmel im Süden und Gletscher
im Norden ist sie rein.
Sie ist das irdischste Glück 
meines Himmels, und Flammen,
entspringend dem Schnee.
Keines Sommers Rose ist roter
als ihre Augen sind schwarz.

Composition:

    Set to music by Eduard Erdmann (1896 - 1958), "Seidenschuh auf goldnem Spann" [ voice and piano ], confirmed with a CD booklet
