Lyrics of Godnat herinde - Lumsk

Godnat herinde (original)

Nu ruger Nat over Enge
Og alt i Mrke forgaar.
Jeg lytter her fra min Rude,
Det tier saa tomt derude,
Det er som naar Klokken staar.
Da hrer jeg Rster kalde
Som op fra en Huldreby.
Jeg ved det er mig de vil finde.
Godnat da I to herinde!
Jeg kommer igen ved Gry.
Saa gik jeg mig ud i Natten
Og droges saa slsomt hen.
Gud naade hver Far og Mage
Som vel fandt sin Vej tilbage,
Men aldrig kom helt igen!

(translation)

Now Nat broods over Meadows
And everything in Mrke goes away.
I'm listening here from my Rude,
It's so empty out there,
It's like the clock is ticking.
Then I hear Rster cold
Like up from a Huldreby.
I know it's me they will find.
Good night to you two in here!
I'll be back at Gry.
Then I went out into the night
And was dragged away so slowly.
God have mercy on every father and mother
Who well found his way back,
But never quite came back!
