Bassen found the tune for me. Hopefully he (or someone else :-) can answer a couple of questions for me about this song? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

1) Literal translation of the lyrics?
2) Pronunciation for an English speaker?
3) Are the spelling and diacritics correct? There seemed to be some OBVIOUS typos on that webpage you gave me but (not knowing Danish) they might actually be right.
4) Is this actually an old Danish folk song? Appears to prolly be a drinking song; is that impression correct?

Below my .sig are lyrics (which may require some correcting :-) and tune (ABC) for the archives.

It's actually a sweet tune. I like it. ... Which means that I'm probably going to write some truly horrible lyrics for it *LOL*

Lyrics:

Vi sejler op ad åen
Vi sejler nedad igen
Det var vel nok en dejlig sang
Den må vi ha' endnu engang - og

Vi sajler åb af åeen
Ve sajler nedad igjen
De var væl nok en dajlig sang
Den må vi ha enu engang , årrrjrr

Vi sajler åb af åeen
Ve sajlevr nedad igjen
De var vasvvæl nok en dajlig sang
Av den må vi hasva enu engang , årasv

and so on ...
