| Danish lyrics:
|:Nej hør en gang, nu synger lærken over vang :| |:Nej hør en gang, den muntre fuglesang :| Solen skinner varmt og mildt nu kan vi vente våren ind, så kommer der en anden til hurra - hurra ... See video from KØST2017 and of 'Gustafs skål' on YouTube with Skansens Folkdanslag, Sällskapet Gustafs Skål Provenance: tune is a version of Gustafs skål, The tune was likely known well before 1772, possibly originally an Austrian march, and in Sweden a drinking song [Swedish] Wikipedia. The Swedish lyrics were written by Carl Michael Bellman in 1772. The same tune is used in Gustafs skål -- Termaleikki in Korpo, Finland. The Danish dance is very similar to contemporary simplified versions of the Swedish dance known as Gustafs skål. Source: Foreningen til Folkedansens Fremme (FFF)/ Gamle danse fra Bornholm. 2 opl.
