Lyrics and translation Thomas Helmig - Dansk Pige

Dansk Pige

Hun var sin egen lykkes smed
Læberne på gled
En af dem man ikke kunne få
Men hun huskede hvad jeg hed
Hele natten lang
Gang på gang
Lå jeg der og lyttede
Til englenes sang
Hun var en dansk pige.
Hun sagde lige nu
Hun sagde lige her
Hun sagde hvad hun tænkte på
Og hun tænkte på lidt af hvert
Og dagene de fløj
Vi drak og vi røg
Og ovre i et hjørne
Havde vi smidt vores cowboy tøj
Hun var en dansk pige.
Og vinden blæste med os
På alt hvad der senere kom
Og hvis jeg lukker mine øjne idag
Så er det næsten lige som om
Hun var en dansk pige.

Danish Lady

She was the blacksmith of her own fortune
Lips parted
One of those you couldn't get
But she remembered what my name was
All night long
Time and time again
I lay there listening
To the angels' song
She was a Danish lady.
She said right now
She said right here
She said what she thought
And she thought about a little of everything
And the days they flew by
We drank and we smoked
And over in a corner
We had thrown off our cowboy clothes
She was a Danish lady.
And the wind blew with us
On everything that came later
And if I close my eyes today
It's almost as if
She was a Danish lady.
