Sig Månen Langsomt Hæver [English translation]

The moon rises slowly

The golden star soars

On the bright and gentle sky

Our forest is silent and calm

And white mists play

Around on the meadow during the evening

Observing the arc of the moon

It's only half-visible

And yet it's whole and round

Such are more things

Which wreck our heart now

Because we only see the half of them

The bright and clear sky

The wonderful, white mist

The bright and clear sky

The wonderful, white mist

The bright and clear sky

The wonderful, white mist

Let us sleep calmly

And our sick neighbors, too

How calmly the ground is resting

Behind the veil of the night, smiling

So gentle and Summer warm

Just like a calm chamber

In which the wailing of the day

Is forgotten

The bright and clear sky

The wonderful, white mist

The bright and clear sky

The wonderful, white mist

The bright and clear sky

The wonderful, white mist

Let us sleep calmly

And our sick neighbors, too

Let us sleep calmly

And our sick neighbors, too

Let us sleep calmly

Let us sleep calmly

And our sick neighbors, too

Look mercifully upon my slumber

And comfort me during my misery

Let us sleep calmly

Comfort my sick neighbor, too
