Our translations: FRE
Og ræven lå under birkerod bort ved lyngen, og haren hoppede på lette fod over lyngen. Det er vel noget til solskinsdag! Det glitrer for, og det glitrer bag over lyngen. Og ræven lo under birkerod bort ved lyngen, og haren hoppede i vilde mod over lyngen. Jeg er så glad over alle ting! Hu hej, gør du slige svære spring over lyngen? Og ræven vented bag birkerod bort ved lyngen, og haren tumlede ham midt imod over lyngen. Men gud forbarme sig, er du der! - Å, kære, hvor tør du danse her over lyngen?
