Hr. Skæg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Når du danser skal du vide
hvilken vej er hvilken side
Højre eller venstre, hvad er hvor?
Ved du hvilken hånd du bruger
når du hamrer eller skruer
lærer du det hurtigt og forstår
Hvis du går til venstre
eller går til højre
If you're going left or
If you're going right
Har du lært at Venstre
også hedder Left og
du har lært at Højre
også hedder Right
When you're dancing right, Auu
Danser du til højre, Auu
When you're dancing left, Auu
Danser du til venstre, Auu
The song "Sverige" by Hr. Skæg, also known as "Venstre Højre" or "Left Right," is a fun and catchy tune that teaches children about the concepts of left and right. Through its upbeat melody, the song guides children through the important steps of knowing which hand to use when hammering or screwing and which direction is left or right when dancing.
The lyrics encourage children to quickly learn and understand these concepts by using repetition and making connections between the Danish and English words for “left” and “right”. The chorus repeats in both languages and, with a playful "Auu" sound, reinforces the knowledge that dancing right means dancing to the right, and dancing left means dancing to the left.
Overall, this song encourages children to be aware of their surroundings and the directions they move in, while creating a fun and engaging way to improve their cognitive and motor skills.
