Hej, Du Maane, klare Maane!
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Ukrainian (Українська)
Hej, Du Maane, klare Maane! Skin for ingen Andre, Skin alene for min Ven, Naar han til mig skal vandre! Skin Du vidt, og skin Du bredt, Og skin Du højt foroven; Naar min Ven er kommet til mig, Gaa Du ned bag Skoven! Gaa Du hastigt ned af Himlen, Ned bag Skovens Side; Hvad min Ven vil tale til mig, Maa Du aldrig vide. Hej, Du Maane, klare Maane, Store Lys og rene, Skin igjen, saasnart min Ven Skal vandre hjem alene!
