Danish Lullabies
Traditional songs to sing your little one to sleep — with lyrics, translations, meanings and easy chords.
Danish lullabies belong to the same world as Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales — a world where sleep itself has a face. The most famous of them, Den lille Ole med paraplyen, sings of Ole Lukøje, the little sandman of Danish folklore who tiptoes to children’s beds with two umbrellas: a bright one full of dreams for good children, and a plain one for dreamless sleep. Sung at Danish bedsides for well over a century, these songs mix gentle humour with real tenderness. On this page you will find traditional Danish lullabies with the original Danish words, English translations, their meaning and story, and simple guitar and piano chords so the whole family can sing along.
