Irmelin Rose
 (Sung text for setting by W. Peterson-Berger)
 See original
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Se, der var en Gang en Konge,
Mangen Skat han kaldte sin,
Navnet paa den allerbedste
Vidste hver var Irmelin,
Irmelin Rose,
Irmelin Sol,
Irmelin Alt, hvad der var dejligt.

Alle Ridderhjelme spejled
Hendes Farvers muntre Pragt,
Og med alle Rim og Rythmer
Havde Navnet sluttet Pagt:
Irmelin Rose,
Irmelin Sol,
Irmelin Alt, hvad der var dejligt.

Hele store Bejlerflokke
Der til Kongens Gaarde foer,
Bejlede med ømme Lader
Og med blomsterfagre Ord:
Irmelin Rose,
Irmelin Sol,
Irmelin Alt, hvad der er dejligt!
