Open Mike:

I don't know the translation, or even if we sang all of these words as kids, But I grew up dancing the Crested Hen at family parties, with my dad playing it on the fiddle. He may still recall the words and what they mean. My grandmother and her mother were our source, though in the town where he grew up (Warren PA) they were still holding monthly Danish dances in 1953 (the year before I was born.)

I will copy what you posted and give them to him to see. He's going to Denmark for the first time, this June, and I know the relatives there will know it. They sang it for us 3 summers ago when their folk dance troupe was touring the States, and they stopped to visit.
