little golden haired sister,
you shall
not worry
for your husband
in denmark
and not for your
father in denmark –
little droplet-eye,
little sister,
you shall join
your hands together
to a cup and
wait – |
and God shall look down
into your fine new cup
and maybe let
a droplet fall
on your hand –
and if your father
in denmark
looks at you
you shall not be
afraid –
and if your husband
in denmark
beats you
you shall not tremble
little sister –
and if you cannot
keep your
tears from
wandering over your cheeks
you shall not be sad, but
hold out your fine
new cup
and smile –
little droplet-eye
little golden haired sister –
never forget, what
you dreamt – now
you shall laugh at
the stupid denmark, which
wants to make my little
sister old |
and blind
and stupid –
look at my little one,
we have time
to wait out denmark –
remember,
what we know – now
you do laugh
droplet-eye –
