When it grew dark, a number of colored lamps were lighted
Da det blev m rkt, blev en r kke farvede lamper t ndt
the sailors and royal family danced merrily on the deck
s m ndene og kongefamilien dansede lystigt på d kket
The little mermaid could not help thinking of her birthday
Den lille havfrue kunne ikke lade v re med at t nke på sin f dselsdag
the day that she rose out of the sea for the first time
den dag, hun steg op af havet for f rste gang
similar joyful festivities were celebrated on that day
lignende gl delige festligheder blev fejret den dag
she thought about the wonder and hope she felt that day
hun t nkte på det vidunder og håb, hun f lte den dag
with those pleasant memories, she too joined in the dance
med de behagelige minder, deltog hun også i dansen
on her paining feet, she poised herself in the air
på sine smertefulde f dder stillede hun sig i luften
the way a swallow poises itself when in pursued of prey
den måde en svale balancerer sig på, når den forf lges af bytte
the sailors and the servants cheered her wonderingly
s m ndene og tjenestefolkene jublede hende undrende
She had never danced so gracefully before
Hun havde aldrig danset så yndefuldt f r
Her tender feet felt as if cut with sharp knives
Hendes mme f dder f ltes som skåret med skarpe knive
