Festen

English translation

The Feast

Nu skal festen snart begynde,

Now the feast is about to begin,

Øllen flyder fra vor tønde,

The beer flows from our barrel,

Kvinder skænker øl i horn,

Women pour beer in horns,

Festen slutter først i morgen.

The feast won't end until tomorrow.

Over, bålet steges kødet,

Over the fire the meat is roasted,

Vi ta'r kvinder med i høet,

We take women to the hay,

Mænd, der kæmper vinder kvinder,

Men, who fights win women,

Til at hold' sig varm til vinter.

To keep them warm at wintertime.

Under bøgens brede kron' sidder vi,

Below the wide crown of the beech we sit,

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Vi drikker tæt, kølig øl i horn,

We drink a lot, chilled beer in horn,

Festen slutter først i morgen.

The feast won't end until tomorrow.

Nu skal festen snart begynde,

Now the feast is about to begin,

Øllen flyder fra vor tønde,

The beer flows from our barrel,

Kvinder skænker øl i horn,

Women pour beer in horns,

Festen slutter først i morgen.

The feast won't end until tomorrow.

Dansen svinger lystigt om, rundt om os,

The dance swings merrily around, around us

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Møerne smiler så sødt til os mænd,

The maidens smile so sweet at us men,

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Nu skal festen snart begynde,

Now the feast is about to begin,

Øllen flyder fra vor tønde,

The beer flows from our barrel,

Kvinder skænker øl i horn,

Women pour beer in horns,

Festen slutter først i morgen.

The feast won't end until tomorrow.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Kvinderne viser der's barm frem til os,

The women show us their bosom,

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Nu er det tid til at vis', hva' vi ka',

Now it's time to show, what we can do,

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Nu skal festen snart begynde,

Now the feast is about to begin,

Øllen flyder fra vor tønde,

The beer flows from our barrel,

Kvinder skænker øl i horn,

Women pour beer in horns,

Festen slutter først i morgen.

The feast won't end until tomorrow.

Rundt om bålet åd vi kødet,

Around the fire we ate the meat

Vi tog kvinder med i høet,

We took women to the hay,

Dem, der kæmped', de fik kvinder,

Men, who fights got women,

Til at hold' sig varm til vinter.

To keep them warm at wintertime.
