Songs

Han tvær over Bænkene hang,
He kept to the bench
Hun lystig i Dansen sig svang.
While she danced all the time.
Hun legte, hun lo, med en og to,
She played and she smiled with one, then another
hans Hjerte var nær ved at briste,
While his heart was close to breaking.
men, det var der ingen, som viste.
But no one would have guessed.

Hun gik bag ved Laden den Kvæld,
She slipped behind the barn that evening
han kom for at sige Farvel.
He came to say goodbye.
Hun kasted sig ned, hun græd og hun græd,
She fell to the ground and cried and wept
sit Livshåb, det skulde hun miste,
She would lose all hope in life.
men, det var der ingen, som viste.
But no one would have guessed.

Ham Tiden faldt frygtelig lang,
Time seemed to go on forever
så kom han tilbage en gang.
But finally he returned once more.
Hun havde det godt, hun Fred havde fåt,
She looked calm, she had found peace
hun tænkte på ham i det Sidste;
Though she’d thought of him till the end;
men, det var der ingen, som vidste.
But no one would have guessed.
