Löft de klingre Glaspokaler
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Løft de klingre Glaspokaler, Som Burgunder-Bølger maler Røde som en mørk Rubin. En svunden Dag En svunden Tid Vaagner igen i mit Minde. Nu Dæmringen kvælder, Og Jorden har vendt Sig bort ifra Sollysets Strømme. Vilde Rose ved Alfarvej, Vinrose, Vinrose! Vilde Rose ved Alfarvej, Hvor er vor lyse Sommernats Drøm? Svunden som Tonernes flygtige Strøm? Vinrose, Vinrose!

Lift on high and clink the glasses
Language: English after the Danish (Dansk)
Lift on high and clink the glasses Look how bright the Burgundy flashes Like a ruby deepest red. A faded day, A time gone by Comes back again to my memory. Now twilight is falling, The earth has wended away From the sun’s warming rays Roses wild on the great highway, Wine roses, wine roses! Roses wild on the great highway, Where is our glowing summer night’s dream? Gone as a strain of music goes? Wine roses, wine roses!
