Lyrics and translation Lis Sørensen - Dyndkongens Datter

Dyndkongens Datter

Se det nye liv
Født i sump og siv
Mellem nat og dag
Fuld af måneskind
Lister hun sig ind
Mellem nat og dag

Når et hjerte fortabes
I dyndkongens land
Sidder frøerne længe
Ved dynddybets vand
Spejler hinanden
Mørket de blideste smerter
Lyset den skønneste gru
Bejler til dyndkongens datter

Se så koldt det frøs
Gyseligt det gøs
Mellem nat og dag
Som en invalid
Efter bitter strid
Mellem nat og dag

Og jeg kalder dig længsel
Møder dig her
Og betages af alt
Jeg i øjnene ser
Jeg ved at du er
Mørket de blideste smerter
Lyset den skønneste gru
At du er dyndkongens datter

Når et hjerte fortabes
I dyndkongens land
Sidder frøerne længe
Ved dynddybets vand
Spejler hinanden
Mørket de blideste smerter
Lyset den skønneste gru
Bejler til dyndkongens datter

The Mud King's Daughter

See the new life
Born in swamp and reed
Between night and day
Full of moonlight
She creeps in
Between night and day

When a heart gets lost
In the Mud King's land
The frogs sit long
By the mud puddle water
Mirroring each other
The darkness, the gentlest of pains
The light, the most beautiful terror
Courts the Mud King's daughter

See how coldly it froze
Horribly it shivered
Between night and day
Like a cripple
After bitter strife
Between night and day

And I call you longing
Meet you here
And get carried away
By all I see in your eyes
I know that you are
The darkness, the gentlest of pains
The light, the most beautiful terror
That you are the Mud King's daughter

When a heart gets lost
In the Mud King's land
The frogs sit long
By the mud puddle water
Mirroring each other
The darkness, the gentlest of pains
The light, the most beautiful terror
Courts the Mud King's daughter
