I have translated a few songs with the help of Google and corrected some of the wrong translations. I wanted to share these links with you. Some Danish songs:

This first one is originally by a Danish band called Gasolin (written by Kim Larsen). This is a version sung by one of my friends from a school I went to. He was also the singer for the Danish band Dúné:



Lots of success
and what belongs to it
lots of cool spotlights
privacy and music.
From job to job
concert without stop
icy wardrobes
autographs and stage fright.
But at night
when the light is burning out
and everything is quiet
you are alone
oh so alone.
Friends a-lot
half empty glass
caresses and forgotten promises
contracts and gas.
Yes 24 hours without rest
hello man, try now and smile
Yes and spread your beautiful wings
and fly like a bird.
For tonight
when the light is burning out
and everything is quiet
You are alone
oh so alone.
Yes tonight
when the light is burning out
and everything is quiet
You are alone
oh so alone.

This is the original:



Here's another Danish song by one of the best song writers we have, in my opinion, Sebastian:



https://lyricstranslate.com/en/stille-f%C3%...calm-storm.html

This place is so calm now
But within us
There's no peace
It's one thing to understand a sea map
We'll take off
Without a word
As far as we know
The sky is blue
And the course set to Cape the Good Hope

This place is so calm now
And this whisper
Is just slowly taking form
Like calm before a storm
Is sure
That the call will be loud
As far as we know
The sky is blue
And the course set to Cape the Good Hope

Sebastian was also in a TV program where Danish musicians were singing songs of one another, and this performance just makes tears roll:



If I suddenly became blind
what if my land disappeared
and my breath too
the day you leave me
and what if it was not a lie
the heart will shrink
or suddenly stop
the day you leave me
for I have nothing when you leave
the one truth is
I have no love
the triumph of emptiness
I'm broken down without you
completely broken
I'm so shattered
finished when you leave
where will your fortress stand
where no roses grow
on a rocky road
the day you leave me
and the seas are poisoned
mermaids do not swim
in the lifeless deadly sea
the day you leave me
for I have nothing when you leave
the one truth is
I have no love
the triumph of emptiness
and I am broken down without you
completely broken
I'm so torn
finished when you leave
hey
if I suddenly became blind
what if my land disappeared
and my breath too
the day you leave me

Here's another one that's really beautiful by the way:



Who can sail without wind?
Who can row without oars?
Who can be parted from their friend
without shedding a tear?

I can sail without wind.
I can row without oars,
But can not be parted from my friend
without shedding a tear.
