On "Først den ene vej" - (2017)
for piano
This shoemaker's polka -- Skomagerpolka -- from Denmark is a light-hearted traditional dance melody.
Først den ene vej / Og så den anden vej / Og tju og tju.
Og skomagersdreng / Skomagerdrengen er et svin / For han drikker brændevin.
First one way / And then the other way / And clack and clack.
And the shoemaker's boy / The shoemaker's boy is a pig / For he is drinking brandy.
