Lyrics and translation Lis Sørensen - Dyndkongens Datter




Dyndkongens Datter
The Mud King's Daughter
Se det nye liv
See the new life
Født i sump og siv
Born in swamp and reed
Mellem nat og dag
Between night and day
Fuld af måneskind
Full of moonlight
Lister hun sig ind
She creeps in
Mellem nat og dag
Between night and day
Når et hjerte fortabes
When a heart gets lost
I dyndkongens land
In the Mud King's land
Sidder frøerne længe
The frogs sit long
Ved dynddybets vand
By the mud puddle water
Spejler hinanden
Mirroring each other
Mørket de blideste smerter
The darkness, the gentlest of pains
Lyset den skønneste gru
The light, the most beautiful terror
Bejler til dyndkongens datter
Courts the Mud King's daughter
Se koldt det frøs
See how coldly it froze
Gyseligt det gøs
Horribly it shivered
Mellem nat og dag
Between night and day
Som en invalid
Like a cripple
Efter bitter strid
After bitter strife
Mellem nat og dag
Between night and day
Og jeg kalder dig længsel
And I call you longing
Møder dig her
Meet you here
Og betages af alt
And get carried away
Jeg i øjnene ser
By all I see in your eyes
Jeg ved at du er
I know that you are
Mørket de blideste smerter
The darkness, the gentlest of pains
Lyset den skønneste gru
The light, the most beautiful terror
At du er dyndkongens datter
That you are the Mud King's daughter
Når et hjerte fortabes
When a heart gets lost
I dyndkongens land
In the Mud King's land
Sidder frøerne længe
The frogs sit long
Ved dynddybets vand
By the mud puddle water
Spejler hinanden
Mirroring each other
Mørket de blideste smerter
The darkness, the gentlest of pains
Lyset den skønneste gru
The light, the most beautiful terror
Bejler til dyndkongens datter
Courts the Mud King's daughter
