The Death of Queen Dagmar

Dronning Dagmar ligger udi Ribe syg

Queen Dagmar lies ill in Ribe

Til Ringsted lader hun sig vente

They're awaiting her in Ringsted

Alle de fruer, i Danmark er

All the ladies who are in Denmark

Dem lader hun til sig hente

She has them brought to her

Udi Ringsted hviles Dronning Dagmar

In Ringsted, Queen Dagmar is laid to rest

Liden Kirsten ind ad døren tren

The little Kirsten stepped in through the door

Med tugt og megen somme

With pain and great dignity

Dronning Dagmar sidder hende op igen

Queen Dagmar sits her up again

Hun favne så vel hendes komme

She embraces her coming so well

Udi Ringsted hviles Dronning Dagmar

In Ringsted, Queen Dagmar is laid to rest

De ledte hende ud, de ledte hende ind

They lead her outside, they lead her inside

De blev jo længere ræde

They kept on getting more scared

Imedens det kan ej bedre vorde,

While it can't get better,

I sender bud efter min herre!

Send for my lord!

Udi Ringsted hviles Dronning Dagmar

In Ringsted, Queen Dagmar is laid to rest

Der var ynk i stuerne

There was pity in the rooms

Der la'er de fruer græde

There, they let the ladies cry

Dronning Dagmar død i liden Kirstens arme

Queen Dagmar died in little Kirsten's arms

Da kongen red op ad strædet

When the king rode up the street

Udi Ringsted hviles Dronning Dagmar

In Ringsted, Queen Dagmar is laid to rest
