Saa tag mit Hjerte i dine Hænder, text by Tove Ditlevsen
Saa tag mit Hjerte i dine Hænder,
men tag det varsomt og tag det blidt,
det røde Hjerte nu er det dit.
Det slaar saa roligt, det slaar saa dæmpet,
for det har elsket og det har lidt,
nu er det stille nu er det dit.
Og det kan saares og det kan segne,
og det kan glemme og glemme tit,
men glemmer aldrig at det er dit.
Det var saa staerkt og saa stolt, mit Hjerte,
det sov og drømte i Lyst og Leg,
nu kan det Knuses men kum af dig.
So Take My Heart in Your Hands
So take my heart into your hands,
But take it carefully and take it gently,
That red heart - now it is yours.
It beats so peacefully, it beats so softly,
because it has loved and it has been hurt,
Now it is still - now it is yours.
And it can hurt, and it can heal,
And it can forget - and forget often,
But will never forget that it is yours.
It was so strong and it was so proud, my heart,
it slept and dreamt in pleasure and in play.
Now can it be broken - but only by you.
