@wldbwriter It is a great song! I never heard the english version. I truly prefer the Danish version, though of course the music and Grethe Ingmann's voice are still great -
You mention it's nice to understand the lyrics - well, it's NOT a translation - not even close.
Thanks for this, a fitting Eurovision winner! Grethe seemed a little old to my cloudy schoolboy eye in 1963, but now she looks fresher, much younger in this performance. (What do the young know?...) She also looks good in the later photos. When do they date from? As for the song, my ear was more discerning than my eye in 1963, and the Danish version was delightful and fresh, but it is a bonus to understand the sense of the words. What a great voice, good accompaniment, a superb song !

@Maridun50 Thanks. I'd better look for a translation that accords with the original. I really love this song, and the performance.
