Lille røde rønnebær,
lille søde hjertenskær!
Tænk, i dag ved kirkefesten
blev der lyst for os af præsten,
lille røde rønnebær,
lille rønnebær!
Lille hvide rosmarin,
lille blide kærest min!
Tænk, i dag om otte dage
er du min, og jeg din mage,
lille hvide rosmarin,
lille rosmarin!

Little red rowanberry
Language: English  after the Danish (Dansk)
Little red rowanberry,
my little sweet love!
Imagine, today at the church celebration
the clergyman said the banns,
little red rowanberry,
little rowanberry!
Little white rosemary,
my little gentle sweetheart!
Imagine, eight days from now
you’re mine and I’m your mate,
little white rosemary,
little rosemary.
