Linnet & Salomonsen Grav Dem Ned song lyrics
Linnet & Salomonsen Grav Dem Ned translation
Kæder, ringe, dyre smykker
Chains, rings, expensive jewellery
Perler og brokadestykker
Pearls and brocade pieces
Gem hver daler og dukat
Save every dollars and ducat
Guld og sølv og ædle stoffer
Gold and silver and nobles fabrics
Skulle nødigt bliver offer
Should necessary be a victim
For en plyndrende soldat
For a plundered soldier
Så vi si'r:
So we are saying:
Grav dem ned hver en lille kostbarhed
Dig them down every a little treasures
Grav dem ned på et skjult og sikkert sted
Dig them down at the hidden and safer place
Adelsmand og præst og borger
Nobleman and priest and citizen
Store folk har store sorger
Large people have large sorrows
Det er bedre for de små
It is better for the little
De har ingenting at gemme
They have nothing to save
De er bare ikke hjemme
They're just not at home
Når fjenden banker på
When the enemy is knocking at
Husk de fine franske knive
Remember their fine French knives
Og uret med den gyldne skrive
And the watch with the golden pointer
Grav nu flittigt, grav nu villigt
Dig now hard-working, dig now ready
Det har aldrig været billigt
It had never been cheaply
Og bli'r mere værd i krig
And becomes more worth in war
Fattigfolk kan ikke fatte
Poor people can't grasp
Byrden ved at eje skatte
A descent know to own treasure
Det er svært at være rig
It is difficult to be rich
Så vi si'r:
So we are saying:
Grav dem ned hver en lille kostbarhed
Dig them down every a little treasures
Grav dem ned på et skjult og sikkert sted
Dig them down at the hidden and safer place
