Godnat herinde - Lumsk

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!

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!
