Jens Okking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frygt ej for de vilde drenge,
Flyv kun ud på mark og enge!
Sur, sur, sur, sur i lystig ring.
Sur, sur sur, lille bi, omkring!
Sid i blomten som en dronning,
Sug den søde, søde honning!
Sur, sur sur, lille bi, omkring!
Flyv så med dit rige bytte
Hjem til cellen i din hytte!
Sur, sur sur, sur i lystig ring.
The lyrics to Jens Okking's "Sur Sur Sur Lille Bi Omkring" are a fun and playful tribute to the industriousness of bees. The song's title translates to "Buzz, Buzz, Buzz Little Bee Around" and sets the stage for the song's upbeat and cheerful tone. The song begins with the lyrics, "Sur, sur sur, lille bi, omkring! / Frygt ej for de vilde drenge, / Flyv kun ud på mark og enge! / Sur, sur, sur, sur i lystig ring." These lines encourage the little bee to not fear the "wild boys" but to instead fly freely around the fields in a playful ring.
Okking then goes on to describe the bee's role as a queen, sitting on flowers and sucking "den søde, søde honning!" The final verse talks about the bee's return home to the "cellen i din hytte" with its "rigt bytte", or rich bounty of honey.
