by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)
Translation by Julius Christian Gerson (1811 - 1894)

Myggevisse
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Stryg Fiolen, I Blomster, spil op til en Dands,
høit paa Himmelen straaler nu Solen i Glands;
lystig flagre nu vi ville over Mark, over Kyst.
Hele Verden den vide, den er vor med sin Lyst, den er vor med sin Lyst!

Stryg Fiolen I Blomster, vort Liv er saa kort,
er der givet os Vinger, vi dandse det bort,
over Mark, over Enge, i den solvarme Luft
er vi smaa, hele Verden er dog vor med sin Duft, er dog vor med sin Duft!
