Monk, OT - task for you in music (you liking Floor Jansen - you 'feel music' - no matter your age): --------------------------------
We just recently on top of covid days - held a rather big familie gatering (50 people) - and I made (printed) a small songbook for the occasion - with old traditional Danish songs. So here is your task - does this big quires version of Danish song 'get through to you* ? --------------------------------
Text translated with Google:
I am born in Denmark
1. I was born in Denmark, I live there, there I have root, from where my world goes; you Danish language, you are my mother's voice, so sweetly blessed you my heart when. You Danish, fresh beach, where ancient giant tombs stands between apple orchard and hop garden. You I love! Denmark, my homeland!
2. Where does the summer nest well the flower bed richer than here down to the open beach? Where does the full moon stand above the clover meadow as nice as in the beech's homeland? You Danish, fresh beach, where Dannebrogen waves - God gave it to us - God give the best victory! - You I love! Denmark, my homeland!
3. Once you were lord in the whole of the Nordic countries, bid over England - now you are called weak; a small country, and yet so far about the earth than the Danish song and chisel beat are heard. You Danish, fresh beach, plow iron gold horn finder - God give you future as he gave you memories! You I love! Denmark, my homeland!
4. You land where I was born, where I live, where I have root, from where my world goes, where language is my mother's soft voice and as a sweet music my heart reaches. You Danish, fresh beach, with the nest of wild swans, In green islands, my heart's home down here! You I love! Denmark, my homeland!
And here the song - from celebrating 100year for a famous national event:
Text is written by famous HC Andersen (Ugly Duckling) somewhere midt 1800 century.
