Jørgen Ingmann was born on 26 April 1925 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Grethe Clemmensen was born in 1938 in Denmark. They met in 1955, were married in 1956 and got divorced in 1975. Grethe Ingmann died on 18 August 1990 in Denmark.
Jørgen Ingmann's version of Jerry Lordan's instrumental "Apache" (which hit no 1 in US Singles' list in 1961) was successful largely due to EMI's omission to publish The Shadows' original 1960 version in time for USA. The cover version of the Dane became first and The Shadows' hit could not pace.

Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et lille kindkys af en vind
Og sivet, der nynner
At livet begynder
Sit spind i dit sind
Et sølvfløjt fra en trætop
En svag tagfat-lyd af en kat
En hvislen i hækken
Der si'r, at det ikke mer' er nat
Dugvåd ligger engen
Jomfru Daggry går til ro
Dagen står puk-kåd ud af sengen
Og går over solens bro
Og os to?
Hvad med os to?
Ja, hvad med os to - dig og mig?
Jeg danser og danser og standser -
Og sanser kun dig
Hvorfor løb du dog din vej?
Kom igen, kom igen
Kom igen, du, min elskede ven
Kom igen, kom igen
Hvor du ønsker det, danser vi hen
Kom, lad os danse
Alt kan der ske
Kom, lad os danse
Lad os danse, lad os le
Et sølvfløjt fra en trætop
En svag tagfat-lyd af en kat
En rislen i bækken
En hvislen i hækken
Der si'r, at det ikke mer' er nat
Dugvåd ligger engen
Jomfru Daggry går til ro
Dagen står Puk-kåd ud af sengen
Og går over solens bro
Og os to?
Hvad med os to?
Ja, hvad med os to - dig og mig?
Jeg danser og danser og standser -
Og sanser kun dig
Hvorfor løb du dog din vej?
Kom igen, kom igen
Elskede ven
The lyrics to Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann's song Dansevise are a reflection on the joy and beauty found in simple moments of life. The song describes the way that even the smallest things, such as sunlight on a puddle or a kiss from the wind, can spark new beginnings and set the wheels of life in motion. The use of nature imagery, such as the sound of a flute from a tree or the rustling of a hedge, conveys a sense of peace and harmony with the world around us. The song also touches on the idea of dancing as a way of connecting with one another, as well as a form of expression and celebration.
The chorus of the song asks "What about us two?," and wonders why the other person left. Despite this feeling of loss, the song ends on a hopeful note, with an invitation to dance and an affirmation that anything is possible if we are willing to let go and enjoy the moment.

Et solstrejf i en vandpyt
A small ray of sunshine in a puddle
Et lille kindkys af en vind
A gentle kiss of wind
Og sivet, der nynner
And the whispering reeds
At livet begynder
That life begins
Sit spind i dit sind
Weaving its web in your mind
Et sølvfløjt fra en trætop
A silver whistle from a tree top
En svag tagfat-lyd af en kat
A faint sound of a cat's playful chase
En rislen i bækken
A rippling in the brook
En hvislen i hækken
A rustling in the hedge
Der si'r, at det ikke mer' er nat
Saying that it is no longer night
Dugvåd ligger engen
Dewy meadows lie
Jomfru Daggry går til ro
Dawn retires to rest
Dagen står puk-kåd ud af sengen
The day stands naked out of bed
Og går over solens bro
And walks over the bridge of the sun
Og os to?
And us two?
Hvad med os to?
What about us two?
Ja, hvad med os to - dig og mig?
Yes, what about us two - you and me?
Jeg danser og danser og standser -
I dance and dance and stop -
Og sanser kun dig
And only sense you
Hvorfor løb du dog din vej?
Why did you run away?
Kom igen, kom igen
Come again, come again
Kom igen, du, min elskede ven
Come again, my beloved friend
Hvor du ønsker det, danser vi hen
Wherever you wish, we dance there
Kom, lad os danse
Come, let's dance
Alt kan der ske
Anything can happen
Lad os danse, lad os le
Let's dance, let's laugh
Elskede ven
Beloved friend
