A popular television figure in DR´s childrens television series "Skæg med tal" (fun with numbers) and "Skæg med bogstaver" (fun with letters) - originally a swedish concept.

Det hænder for enhver i vores solsystem
Alle mennesker véd hvordan det er at ha' et problem
og ha' brug for lidt hjælp
Jeg har prøvet det selv
Var vandet koldt som is da du sku' ha' dig et bad?
Var der klumper i mælken på din morgenmad?
Have you lost your key?
Du behøver ikke gå og være trist min ven
Jeg hjælper gerne hvis du rækker hånden frem
Det eneste det kræver er et særligt ord
alle mennesker bru'r:
Vil du hjælpe mig?
Kan jeg hjælpe dig?
Will you help me?
Can I help you?
Der findes nogle mennesker der vil klare sig selv
De ku' aldrig finde på at spørge nogen om hjælp
Det er sådan en skam
De sku' ha' sig et kram
Men de glemmer at der gemmer sig en bedre vej
for du hjælper nogen når du lader dem hjælpe dig
Prøv at se hvad der sker
Det er ikke så svært
Du behøver ikke gå og være trist min ven
Jeg hjælper gerne hvis du rækker hånden frem
Det eneste det kræver er et særligt ord
Alle mennesker bru'r:
Vil du hjælpe mig?
Kan jeg hjælpe dig?
Will you help me?
Can I help you?
The song "Spanien (Spørg om hjælp)" by Hr. Skæg is about the universal experience of having a problem and needing help. The lyrics suggest that everyone experiences difficulties in their lives, whether it's cold water for a shower, lumps in their milk, or losing their keys. However, the singer offers a message of hope and unity by encouraging people to ask for help when they need it. He reassures listeners that he is willing to help if they reach out and ask, and he points out that using the simple words "Vil du hjælpe mig?" (Will you help me?) or "Kan jeg hjælpe dig?" (Can I help you?) can make a big difference in overcoming difficulties together.
The song also highlights the importance of acknowledging that some people may be reluctant to ask for help and that it's okay to offer help even if it's not explicitly requested. The lyrics suggest that it's a shame when people try to go it alone and that there's a better way - one that involves both giving and receiving help. The singer encourages listeners to take a chance, reach out, and see what happens when they allow themselves to ask for assistance and rely on others.
Overall, the song "Spanien (Spørg om hjælp)" serves as a reminder that everyone needs help at some point, and that it's important to be there for each other when those moments arise. The lyrics encourage empathy, kindness, and a sense of community that can help people navigate the ups and downs of life with greater ease and support.
