Den Jenn å den Anden (Berntsen, set by C. Nielsen) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Den jenn ska studier bådde Græsk å Latin
den anden ska ud å graw Groov
jens Arrbed æ groww, å en andens æ fin,
men Menneskværk er et tehoov.

Den jenn han ka sed som en Goormand så bown,
den anden slo Stien ve æ Veij,
den jenn kan vær Konng for æ hiele Sown,
den anden hå slæt ett å sæij.

Den jenn hå få møj å den anden få let,
men en Daw æ de beggetow henn
å så ka et snåe kom ud o jet,
om do helder a wa den jenn.
