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 über Leisten von Gold
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Seidenschuh' über Leisten von Gold! Eine Jungfrau ist mir hold! Eine schöne Jungfrau ist mir hold! Es kann in Gottes sonnenfroher Welt ihr gleich Nicht eine sein. Sie ist wie der Himmel im Süd, der Schnee in Frostes Reich So rein. Aber in meinem Himmel ist irdische Freude, Und Flammen schlagen aus meinem Schnee. Keine Sommerrose ist röter, Als ihr Auge schwarz ist . . . .
