  • Had to learn this for "sekunda vista" training for uni, which is when you read stuff from the sheet without cheating and finding it on youtube :p I'm very sorry for all the errors but the thing has 13 verses and they're very much nowhere near the sheet music so you're going crosseyed trying to read two places at once. I know, I know, excuses, excuses. Hope you enjoy :)

    Danish language fits so well with this kind of poetic song. I loved the symbolism of the doves and the ravens. Med hilsen fra Frankrig og mange tak for din sang.

      @@suspendius6624 I know, all I am saying is, This is danish, but its not the modern time danish, in fact, it's old danish. This song was probably invented around the 17-18 century, so it is probably around 200 years old? (I think) The danish language has changed over the past few centuries, so that is the reason why it sounds different.

    My native language is German so when reading this, I mostly understand all of it, it's just sometimes archaic. But the picture this evokes in my head is something very odd and very exalted at the same time. I feel so connected to it by understanding it kinda and also so distant from it because clearly another member of the family from far away is speaking.
    Beautiful.

    Oh my god this was exactly what I had been looking for! When I first heard the classic Den mand jeg aldrig når, it was like meeting a long lost love and now listenting to this most beautiful folk song in Danish has given me a second chance of this utterly blissful experience, also showing me there must be a lot more along these lines in the Danish folk culture too! The person singing this has a magical, crystal clear voice, by the way! Please, can I share this delicious video on my two edublogs here? Greetings from a Brazilian who loves Danish folk and classic culture! By the way, although my knowledge of the language is still sadly scarce, I´ve noticed the parts where it reads "det vil jeg give dig" (that I will give you) are actually sung as "det give jeg till dig" and where it reads " ... vil jeg ej passe på." (in the stanza that starts with "Det halve kongerige" is actually sung as "...vil passe jeg ej på " arent´t they? If I got them right, that actually makes all the sense, as this inversion of the verb and the subject in an affirmative sentence is also found in some other Germanic languages, when certain words have been used before these terms - and even in English itself in a more formal style in certain structures.

      Regarding the sentences that are sung different from the written text, I would just like to tell you that both are grammatically correct in Danish :)

      @joalexsg9741 Рік тому

      @@lindahertel1365 Oh, tak for det. I actually didn't think they could be grammatically unacceptable but just confirm that they 're sung in a different order than shown in the lyrics. This is utterly important for foreign learners trying to follow the spoken or sung words with the corresponding texts.
      As she sings in a clear and paused pace I could detect the differences. However, while trying to listen to young Danes speaking in the colloquial fast pace, I realized it's impossible for me to even understand the few words I managed to learn in the language😀

    I am a starter at Danish language and I was wondering if there was a few minor mistake here and there, for example: instead of "dem vil jeg give dig", shouldn't it be "dem give jeg til dig"? Or in "vil jeg ej passe på." Wasn't it supposed to be: "til passe jeg ej på"? And around 3:18 I'm not sure but I think I heard "har du ej være min". Even if I am right, I am not trying to mock anyone, I'm just trying to understand, or if I'm wrong, can anyone tell me?

      Its because you learn normal Danish, the Danish people normally speak. The woman in the song sings "rigs-dansk" (i don't know what its called in English). Its ancient Danish, like they talked in the 18th century (i suppose the song is old too haha (:) or like the queen talks... You can say it both ways, but the most common is the way you say it. Hope it was helpful! :))

    I went to Denmark and tried to learn some Danish, I discovered it's a language of vowels, with every word essentially consisting of different combinations of "AAeeua aoueei eeauo" with a couple other silent letters.
    It's possible to read but impossible to understand anything spoken :/

      If it was impossible to understand, people wouldn't be speaking it. It is difficult to learn, yes, but there are a lot of things like that in life. Overcome these challenges through dedication and hard work, instead of proclaiming them impossible.
