Konning Hans [English translation]

King Hans he's sitting in Copenhagen

He has the payment order written

Sending it to Northern Jutland

In good faith to Erik Ottesøn

There will never be such a rich Queen coming to Denmark

You're appealing for the poor widows

Who'll give birth to fatherless children

You're appealing for the poor inmates

Don't let them die in that tower

There will never be such a rich Queen coming to Denmark

And you shall not tax the poor farmer

I don't want that

But if you're lacking gold or silver

You speak to your father

There will never be such a rich Queen coming to Denmark
