I grew up in too many places and somehow i am the only one out of my parents and sister that ever spoke Danish, and they are of no help. Sorry i really can’t help anymore but i remember some of the song i just cant put the words to it, let alone in Danish, it was a danish song. I was wondering if anyone could help me find this one song that i remember from first grade, all i really remember it was something about a church and a lady and her lover husband or whatever, was out at sea. Thanks Monique – I was thinking that would sound better – am glad to have the confirmation that it’s correct! -Lisa Tweet 18 Responses to “Danish Kids Songs Sites plus a Danish Children’s Song” We always welcome more songs if anyone would like to contribute any and also if anyone would like to sing any for us… Feel free to comment below or email me! Mama Lisa’s World also has some Danish kids songs with English, French and Spanish translations and midis. Once again, I welcome improvements to my translation! Here’s the English translation I came up with: One joins them to walk around so that together they form a chain which gets longer and longer. At the end of each verse one joins the circle. One goes “swimming” under the “circles” raised arms. It’s where I learned that the song goes back to at least 1900. This one also had a Quicktime recording of children singing it. This one had a different version of the same song (also in Danish only). I searched around some more and found another nice Danish site called Dansk Folkemindesamling (the link here is for the kids song section of the site). I welcome improvements to my translation! Below you’ll find the lyrics in Danish, the illustration from the site, a link to the midi and my translation… I picked one of the songs on the site that’s in the public domain (possibly 100 years+ old) and tried my hand at translating it. The site is nice! It has cool line drawings to go with most of the songs and tunes – though no English translations. On this web page Rimogremser.dk there are several Danish kids songs with midi files. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.Richard wrote to me recommending a Danish kids song site… Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles.
