Se dig for
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Our translations: FRE
Se dig for, når du vælger din Vej, tidt går Sti over gyngende Grunde, Vov dig længer fra Bredden ej, End hvor du véd, du kan bunde. Endt i Alvor er mangen Leg, se Dig for, når du vælger din Vej. Se dig for, hvor du sætter din Fod, Va'r dig vel for Smudset og Dyndet, Skæbnen bli'r dig kun lidet god, Når mod dig selv du har syndet. Faldet følger så bitter en Bod, Se dig for, hvor du setter din Fod.
